Toilet leak fixed in the house. Next up, the roof to check on a new vent cap for the dryer on the roof. Lights need to come down too.

Went to Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour this evening. Wow, what a show! It was a tad too loud for my ears, but Cirque was amazing.

Bleah - I think the hard drive in the living room tivo has gone kaput.

Happy 2012!

So #weird - in the pharmacy and the music playing is Talking Heads. When did that go #mainstream?

2011-12-27T14:41:00.001-07:00

Got the new Kate Bush Album #soothing and the new Tom Waits Album #stimulating for Christmas. They are polar opposites but both wonderful.

Duck is half roasted stuffed with apples and prunes. Just put the garlic infused tenderloin roast on the grill. #christmas #delicious

Shopped with kiddo and had lunch together, cleaned house, marinated tenderloin for tomorrow. Stockings filled. Enjoying a beer. #goodlife

A very happy חנוכה to my Jewish friends! I hope that the next 8 days are reminders of the miracle of the oil-and rededication of the Temple.

We have a new fridge after two and half weeks without indoor refrigeration. What a relief. Now it just needs to get cold. #complicatedlife

Starting to work through the support queue for #drupalcon Denver.

I have invites to www.schemer.com - interested? Drop me a line on twitter or facebook and I'll hand em out until I don't have any left.

2011-12-19T22:13:00.001-07:00

Playing with Schemer.com - interesting, odd, todo lists - fascinating perhaps addictive.

Sadly the refrigerator was NOT brought back to life by the repairman. We are now on 10 days without internal coolness for our food. #sucks

Wow! What a great set of notes from my @drupalATX talk today - http://bit.ly/vZ1wKu - thank you @navtomorrow

2011-11-20T13:46:00.001-07:00

@DrupalATX - thanks for inviting me to speak! I really enjoyed presenting. #drupal

2011-11-20T12:19:00.001-07:00

Sitting in the audience for the moment watching people start to mill in. I can feel the adrenaline starting to flow just a bit. #DrupalATX

2011-11-20T12:16:00.001-07:00

Sitting, getting ready for the @drupalATX keynote in 15 minutes. Slides are updated, computer screen synched, iPad linked to presentation.

2011-11-20T08:42:00.001-07:00

Conversations last night have me changing slides for today's keynote for @drupalATX camp this afternoon. In a rapid update and re-run-thru.

2011-11-19T10:48:00.001-07:00

Can't access presentation for @DrupalATX via Keynote Remote. ATT Center must be blocking the port it uses. Prolly will use mobile hotspot.

2011-11-19T10:10:00.001-07:00

Apathetic - sit on the sidelines and then are critical at the end. Give these folks lots of demos so they can't complain at the end. #drupal

2011-11-19T10:09:00.001-07:00

Know-it-all Often a very experienced person, but new to #Drupal. They are fearful of change. TRAIN THESE folks.

2011-11-19T10:08:00.001-07:00

Openly Hostile - "moving to #Drupal is a bad idea!" They are often jealous.

2011-11-19T10:07:00.001-07:00

The Passive-Aggressive person undermines the project as a whole. If you aren't confrontational, then you are in trouble. Call themout.

2011-11-19T10:06:00.003-07:00

Tribalism can exist - old vs new. #drupalATX Evangelists can be helpful and harmful.

2011-11-19T10:06:00.001-07:00

In the dump your old CMS for #drupal session. #drupalATX

2011-11-19T09:47:00.001-07:00

Hey @DrupalATX - are there rooms set aside for BOFs? If so, is there a place to sign up for those rooms? #drupal

2011-11-19T09:38:00.001-07:00

Springboard is a #drupal distro for nonprofits to power online fundraising and marketing programs.

2011-11-19T09:16:00.001-07:00

Fundraising with #drupal - ubercart donation, Webform Pay, NGP Fundraising Integration

2011-11-19T09:10:00.001-07:00

Fundraising in #drupal - need ssl cert, secure pages, merchant account/payment gateway. Should have reliable hosting and PCI Compliant Host.

2011-11-19T09:06:00.003-07:00

...single point of integration, ownership/control

2011-11-19T09:06:00.001-07:00

Pros for Fundraising in #Drupal - Seamless UX, flexible giving experiences, No license fees/additional transaction costs...

2011-11-19T09:04:00.001-07:00

Fundraising in #Drupal - cons - you take on the PCI burden. Uptime is critical. Commitment to ownership.

2011-11-19T09:01:00.001-07:00

In the Fundraising session @DrupalATX - going to talk about contrib solutions, convio integration, and springboard distro for fundraising

2011-11-19T08:41:00.001-07:00

This is the third Drupalcamp Austin. Congrats guys! @drupalATX 224 attendees in first, 307 last year, 342 this year so far.

2011-11-19T08:37:00.001-07:00

I am @drupalATX and the opening session has started! Looking forward to the next two days.

2011-11-19T06:46:00.001-07:00

Logging onto the #drupalcon Denver Zen Desk issue queue. No new tickets since last night = a happy @creech.

2011-11-19T06:43:00.001-07:00

invoicing for @vintagedigital + getting ready for @drupalATX day + doing a little video gaming before breakfast = a pretty good morning.

2011-11-16T22:37:00.001-07:00

I think I have my slides for @drupalATX camp finished up. I hope folks enjoy my talk on Sunday. #drupal #keynote

Drupal Job Module - take a gander, does a lot of what Jenkins will do, but in a Drupally way. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:46:00.001-06:00

BIG sites use Jenkins for deployment. Not really made for the Drupal community, but still works great. #dbug #ned #jenkins

2011-10-25T19:40:00.001-06:00

There are hosted services like BrowserMob 4 availability and load testing. The tests in the Selenium grid can run in all browsers. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:36:00.003-06:00

You can run these tests from Nagios every few minutes. #dbug #selenium

2011-10-25T19:36:00.001-06:00

Ned is doing a quick demo of Selenium - install it on FireFox. Quickly built a test for us. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:33:00.001-06:00

It is not sufficient to have up/down messages. You need monitoring with graphing so you can go back and review what happened. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:32:00.001-06:00

Nagios - one of the devs started up Nagios.com and forked to sell product. #DRUPAL must not do this and dilute contributions. #dbug #drupal

2011-10-25T19:31:00.001-06:00

Infra version controlled - at least put your configs into SVN. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:29:00.001-06:00

Puppet and Chef are the leading open source configuration tools. There are no wonderful Drupal-specific tools. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:28:00.001-06:00

Infra As A Service - start servers in a moment. AWS and Rackspace. Pricing is cheap. The services are flexible. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:26:00.001-06:00

Go to g.d.o and join the DevOps groups if you are interested in this stuff. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:25:00.001-06:00

Continuous Integration = ultimate agile. A test server can test your code and tell you if it is broken. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:24:00.001-06:00

Ned is focusing on Configuration, Releases/deployment, Testing, and Monitoring. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:23:00.001-06:00

LOOK at ITIL - this will outline operations for tech. Google Visable Ops book. #dbug #drupal

2011-10-25T19:22:00.001-06:00

What does agile mean to those who build Drupal sites? We need to be quick and nimble. Much of our operations needs to be automated. #dbug

2011-10-25T19:20:00.001-06:00
