Yesterday while waiting at the Cancun airport with Aaron, Henry, Mirasol, Nedjo, Owen and Justine, a few of us got to talking about FriendFeed, Twitter and del.icio.us. Aaron and I are avid del.icio.us users, tagging all sorts of interesting sites. And we follow numerous lists and feeds thus pulling together some great information and redistributing it through the company.
A few months ago when I started using FF3 beta I was being driven mad by the default behavior of the browser when you clicked on the url in the address bar, a single click would highlight the entire url. Typically I click on the url with the intention of appending the url with something like “admin/build/views” and the entire url would get wiped out. Well, Owen heard my plight and taught me out to change this behavior:
Wow, what a great 2 days! We had over 80 people show up over 2 days for some great sessions at DrupalCampSeattle . I think that the highlight, had to be Greg Dunlap’s Deploy Module Presentation, again! And of course some great hallway conversation and little show and tells. A big shout out to all the sponsors, and everyone who pitched in to help.
DrupalCampSeattle2008 started this morning at the Youngstown Arts Center in West Seattle. We have a great crew of folks here, and the sharing and learning is well underway. I just finished an intro to Drupal talk, it was billed as a “101” but I think that we hit some 102 and 103 level topics (CCK, Views, permissions and taxonomies). Arthur Foelsche is talking about Media Mover and Rich Media in Drupal to a rapt crowd, while a talk about CCK is going on in the theater.
This morning Mirasol pointed out on our team mailing list that Al Gore had thrown his support behind Barack Obama. Like Mirasol, I too received Al’s message in my in box this morning, and the image included in that message looked a little strange.
Last night some folks from the SeaDUG got together and we banged out the rest of the Seattle.Drupal-Camp.org . CivicActions is really happy to be a sponsor of this event, and out entire Seattle crew (myself, Robin and Jared) are working on various aspects of the camp. An early thanks to our early sponsors Hazel Consulting, Pyramid Consulting, Poplar ProductivityWare, Achieve Internet and DrupalCamp Vancouver. We are still looking for additional sponsors, if you are interested, contact me.
Our very own Henry Poole was quoted in a PC World article on Barack Obama’s web security :
Recently I’ve been looking into new web2.0 and, I guess web3.0, and social media trends – sites and services that are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. I’ve found many interesting one and wanted to share a few, and at the same time ask that if you know of anything really cool that you think I might not know about, please send it my way, either by email/contact form or tag them on del.icio.us for:gregoryheller
Ron asked me for a little help on a side project where he was having trouble adding a link to a CiviCRM contribution form to a primary navigation menu. This is a pretty common requirement: you want a “donate now” link in your primary nav. You are using CiviCRM for donations. You figure, “I’ll just add the civicrm contribution form url to the path field for my menu item.” Well, unfortunately you figured wrong.
This morning I decided i would drop into flying apron vegan bakery after grbbing a cup of coffee at stickman (both in Fremont). I've been to flying apron before, and was not really impressed with their sweet treats, but i figured i would give it another try, maybe I just didn't get a good…
