It’s been a few weeks since I last posted. I’ve decided to be frank about all of this, I want to be honest with myself and others. I’ve found that writing things down helps to organise my thoughts.

Hi everyone, Firstly thank you so much for getting in touch, I’m overwhelmed by the response from people. I’m sorry to say I just can’t reply to everyone it may seem odd but it’s a lot of work I’m just not ready for.

I’ve been suffering from depression and severe anxiety for the past 6 months now. It’s costing me my girlfriend, job and most importantly my life. I woke up yesterday with my heart pounding out of my chest, I got ready for work and then threw up, I felt dizzy and very scared.

I’m proud to announce a new collaboration between the Drupal and WordPress communities in Manchester to provide a space to contribute back to each respective project. It’s a great opportunity to get together and work on the projects that we love while being around like minded people.

I’ve gone a bit mad on keyboards recently, mostly due to geekhack and r/mechanicalkeyboards. I’ve got the following boards at the moment: Ducky Shine 3 - ISO - Brown switches - This is a 75% keyboard, it’s missing the number pad on the right side.

Take the following not so hypothetical situation: Project Lead create user story and adds estimate of 3 hours. Developers estimate per hours on tasks within user story totalling 6 hours. Where’s that extra 3 hours come from?

Every time I come to write a new application I always forget how to use PSR-4 so here’s my practical example Directories: - src - - Digital - - - Epok - - - - Controller - - - - - HomePageController.

I found a really nice way of packaging up drush as a debian package without having to go through all the hassle of creating all the files for a “true” debian package.

After a long break we’re back and ready to get sprinting again. I’m looking forward to getting stuck into Drupal 8 migrate in preparation for my talk at Drupal Camp Yorkshire.

Back when I was a young kid I remember being influenced by so much music. My Dad with heavy rock from the 70/80s, my mum with Elton John and random Christian based music.
