You want to attend Drupal events that matter, and DrupalCampLA 2008 already has more than 270 attendees registered. If the pattern holds for Drupal events, the last week will include a lot of last minute registrations, making this a larger non-DrupalCon events.

We're planning to be there, and we're bringing video and audio gear for three rooms, and sponsoring the video so all sessions get up online at the conference site.

Twitter won't work with my social network, because my social network relies on keyword taxonomies. So, right now, it's easy to associate twitter with a profile, because it's a 1-1 relationship. And I can build a twitter channel (#workhabitinc) for example, to pull from multiple twitter feeds. Channels are fantastic because it's folksonomic, which means it's meta-data generate by people at the time of their post (as opposed to pre-defined categories).

It seems every year there is a trend that pops up that I didn't realized was "hip" until I read it in someone else's blog. Ajax was one of those trends, a 5-6 year old technology that just blew up overnight and became a phenomenon. I knew it was cool, but we'd been doing remote javascript applications for years, so it was a little hard to understand the enthusiasm (I later got it).

If you're interested in seriously using Drupal as a blogging platform, there are few finer tools than Ecto. This screencast covers setting up Drupal 5.x with Ecto, step-by-step (it assumes you can install the program), so you can get up and running really easily.

The Cloud Computing session presented at the bi-annual DrupalCon Szeged session in Hungary has been posted by the Internet Archive, who is generously recording and hosting the sessions. Watch the video here.

Acquia's Ethan Fremen and WorkHabit's Adam Kalsey present.

So a mild annoyance I found once switching over to Ubuntu. When in insert or replace mode, your arrow keys will stop working. Hitting an arrow key will move you to the line above the one you’re on and start adding “D” letters on new lines, causing undue headache while trying to clean up the mess.

The yearly survey is up. Go take it, and help form a worldwide picture of what we do from day-to-day on these, the Intertubes Of Life!

We had a great time at the S.D. Drupal User Group meetup this month. there were almost 20 people in attendance this time, including Myself, Michael Murdoch, and Harry Slaughter, the latter of whom you would expect to be there because he was the impetus and organizer! I even saw some of the Achieve Internet gang there, including Alex Villeux and Karl Scheirer, my former supervisors. Awesome!

“Adobe Air requires Adobe Air to function”

lolwut?

I’m trying to install Twhirl, which is an Adobe Air app on my MacBook, and Air keeps taking a dump while trying to install itself.

Turns out, making a change in the International Preferences Pane fixes the problem /sigh…

Big thanks to Andrew Peterson for his step-by-step blog entry on how to make Air behave!
