develOOp another fine develOOpment

Although unfuddle is easy to use, it's rather cumbersome to use tickets to do timetracking.

Just a few days before the early discount (80€ iso 120€) ends, i signed up for the drupalcon event in Szeged Hungary.

Like other people around the area, we were also thinking of renting a mini-van and drive the 1500km's in pure geeky style. i.e Powersupply + 3G broadband included for the whole 15hours of travel. But ...

Last friday, we headed off to the well organized DrupalJam in Elst (Netherlands). More than 60 people showed up at the event and we were delighted to have the opportunity to talk about our latest work for the Dutch quality paper, NRC Handelsblad. Jo Wouters provided an overview of the way we build http://nrcboeken.nl. A lot of interaction with the crowd there!

Tomorrow, Dries Buytaert (a Java geek who has written his own WCMS in php) is doing his unofficial PhD defense on Profiling techniques for Java performance analysis and optimization.

We wish him all the best and hopefully we can address him as Dr. Dries Buytaert at the next Drupalcon.

go Dries go !!!

Next Saturday (Dec 1st 2007) we are organising another Drupal Workshop aimed at Drupal/PHP Developers.
Due to some late cancellations we still have a few seats open for the Module Development Training. To register, go to the registration page (http://krimson.be/node/44) and sign up before all seats are taken again.
Don't forget to bring your laptop.
Note: Workshop will be in Dutch!

End of February 2008 --- http://Fosdem.org in Brussels Belgium. Joeri has just launched a call for action to gather as many drupal developers into one of the fosdem developer rooms. For those non-belgian drupal-lovers, yet another great excuse to visit the Capital of Europe.

For a client i needed to investigate S3 storage for a drupal media site. A 30 minutes job i figured.
Basically i just needed to see how to install it, check if all drivers were installed and check how we should configure it for the site they needed.

After 3 hours of 'working' i still hadn't configured anything although i worked very hard.
Read on to know what happened...

I just found out today, that google’s image search has the option to only show images featuring ‘faces’. So no let’s try that with ‘Drupal’ as our search term.

Two questions come to my mind before i press the submit button:

1. Will the druplicon appear between the images?

Plaxo is rolling out it's version 3.0 (beta) of their webapplication.
They've bought the group of young developers around http://hipcal.com/ , and my guess is that it's those guys who have played an active role in the complete rework of their webapplication.

Some points of interest.

• They support Open-id. Great to see another big player support it. Drupal was already rewarded for their work to support OpenID (http://drupal.org/node/162356)
  

Ik heb net een artikeltje op drupal.be geplaatst om uit te leggen hoe je xampp voor linux moet configureren om meerdere sites op je ubuntu machine kan draaien. etc/hosts en vhosts zijn de sleutelwoorden waardoor ik nu locaal makkelijk kan surfen naar http://klant1, http://subsite.klant2 etc...
