Hello World???

Seems like I need a Hello World post... OK so it's not really a new site or blog it is, however, that I've been up to my alligators in travel and projects for the last many weeks and haven't been posting much. Finally things are returning to a more sane state and I'll get a chance to spend a little more time in these parts. First up I have a few presentations to post and then to get caught up. For a quick look at some of what June included check out this video.

Where did the time go

Somehow we've fast-forwarded the clocks and it is now the middle of February already. So many projects to get done have been waiting for attention. Fortunately now that there's a little time to breathe I'll get some of them going. The photo a day will soon get posted and the redesign of the blog will roll out just before Drupalcon to celebrate six years of this particular instance of Drupal.

Back on the horse

So I'm slowly getting back up to speed following the post-Drupalcon bug that so many seemed to be catching. Easter weekend brought about releases in a couple of new projects. The Forum Thread module got a beta release. A few bugs have already come to light as have a few feature requests that will get on the list. Many thanks to http://fixingtheplanet.com/ for supporting development of this module.

Another project that I didn't start but have recently started to lend a hand with is a great theme project that started as a part of Summer of Code 2007. The Light Fantastic theme is a great theme that we use on the business website. The initial release has some bugs that need to be worked out and I'll be rolling up the changes I made to get it into shape for a release soon. This is a theme that lucksy created as a part of summer of code. (Hint! Hint! Summer of Code rocks... Be sure to read more about Google Summer of Code.)

It sucks to have the bug but it's great to be getting back on the fast track. Lots of yummy Drupal in the future.

Things you forget you've done

I was reminded by stumbling across this page about some testing work I did a few years ago. Funny how a few years can pass and something that was so urgent and important at the time is no longer even on my list of memories.

C7 and 22

We have a couple of vending machines at work that are chronically ill. The first, a Pepsi bottle dispenser has a constant full row of bottles. The remainder of the machine can be empty but C7 will remain full. At some point one might believe the vending machine operator might get the wiser and figure out the machine errantly says the row is sold out. Several months have passed and the problem persists.

On the other end there is another machine with slot 22. Slot 22 is consistently filled with the last tantalizing bag of Cheetos. The rest of the machine is largely full and only the Cheetos are so low. The bag remains stuck, as it has been for several weeks. When do people stop looking at such things.

Numbers kind of day

It's been a numbers kind of morning. Last evening though I took a stroll down memory lane. Working in the garage yesterday I found several old notebooks I'd been casually looking for. Seventeen years ago today I was on the way to see my orthodontist. Was scribbling jokes down in a note book... apparently those heard on the radio? It's interesting to see what I was writing back then. In one entry I have the soliloquy from Hamlet... "To be or not to be..." the minds of 13-year olds!
