session writing - giving back to the people, if they want it
Con time again - an now it must be my time to give something back to the Drupals.
After a couple of friendly slap at the the back of my head i kinda get the message, so now im now busy writing up a couple of sessions for the drupalCon boston 2008, Fosdem and a theming session for the dk drupal group... someone please write the 46 hours a day module?
Drupal Con Tour 2008
wow 2 cons with only 1 week between them. damn! I need a tour tshirt
Boston is gonna be my 2. trip to the states, and unfortunately my girl friend coudnt get of work, so I have to go all by myself :(... well i might end up having a good time after all (as last time) - and i dont know how much fun she thinks that having me in übergeek-all-fired-up mode is - something bout me getting into hyper mode when im around to many people or something... have no idea of whats shes talking bout though.
I did my first ever 5 minuts speach at the lightning talks in barcelona, and man i was shittin bricks! Have no idea of why im always getting nervous standing in front of a crowd with I mic in my hand - give me a beer and I will not stop talking before the bar closes...
But now theres 2 cons so close to each other, so well fuck it im gonna propose some sessions, and well se how it goes so by popular demand, and this is someting i actually knows enough about to answer some questions ;)
so these 3 am i working on right now:
"Putting the ümlaud into drüpal"
A collection of all kinds of sweet ass & evil theming tricks.
Menu pimping, login forms as you want em, evil views tricks, panels sweetnes etc.
Sex Drupal & Rock n Roll
a Theming love story.
Using zen as a starting point and flex it into your own coding styles.
create a strong base you can always return to, but thats build on personal coding styles, and not somebody elses.
dont fear the brackets going beyond $content...
"War stories from the basement"
case studies from my last 1.5 year of drupal theming, take a couple of sites and show what is working and what isnt.
how to come about drupal theming without crasping everything thats going on behind the scenes.
how to look 3 steps forward and use the css to save the day.
I have no idear if that would have any intrest?, but well time will tell
almost a months pause WTF
Damn its been a long time since i last wrote on my blog, i tried to create a 24 daily posting with big n small D. tricks but that kinda blowed already after 7 days ... well there were more than one reasons for that:
I got my English Bulldog (Otto) + loads of work, so all my time ran out -well were gonna try next year.

Aw, sheeeet, I'm so pissed I
Aw, sheeeet, I'm so pissed I can't go to Drupalcon this time around. They didn't give much notice, and I just spent $1500 on tickets to World Superbikes the weekend before the con, and some more $ on tickets to the classic car racing the weekend after; and my dad is coming over for em.
Damn damn damn. I woulda stood 'em all up if I had more notice.
I guess I'll have to cope - we've got a minicon down here this weekend, I'm presenting there too. Heheh
Damn mate who am i gonna get
Damn mate who am i gonna get piss drunk with till 4 in the morning :/
we have to get a drupalCon in Aussi land at some point!
but well catch the next then ei
Woohoo! I just had to chime
Woohoo!
I just had to chime in and say that I love the idea of a session discussing theming without knowing everything about theming :) I was theming for like a year before I had any clue wtf was going on behind the scenes and there's actually a lot you can do without getting too far into it! But we can probably do a lot to at least help people from going too far down an unpleasant path...
well is it now that i must
well is it now that i must admit i still dont understand whats going on ;)
but hey $node->foo and im a happy geek
