Webchick on solving tricky issues in Drupal
Her best advice on Friday was to post an issue, "go make a sandwich, eat the sandwich", then go back and look at the issue queue. Quite often someone has already come to your rescue and solved the problem for you!
Cool people I met this week
- John Forsythe, creator of DrupalModules.com
- Shannon Lal, who's brother Kieran Lal is a principal at Acquia
- Angie Byron (aka webchick), a lead core Drupal developer, who also calls Montreal home
- Damien Tournoud, maintainer of the French translation for Drupal, and the lead of drupalfr.org
- Numerous others at the Drupal Meetups in Ottawa and Montreal
It was a great week for networking.
Blogging in Reverse
In November, the last time I posted here, I hoped to restart my blogging effort as I made the big move to South Africa. We now know that wasn't meant to be. I'd like to think this was in part because, as more and more blog-worthy stuff happened all around me, I didn't wanted to blog about most recent items until doing justice to the earlier, yet-to-be-blogged, items. It was a busy time in my life and I ended up with a serious back-log of blog-worthy material.
So what happened yesterday? And the day before that? You'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
