I’m proud to announce Drupal Sprints Manchester (UK). Last year at Drupal Camp NW I spoke with various other northern Drupalers and decided that we should get together and attempt to emulate Drupal Sprints London.

Since I’m commuting a lot more to Manchester I figured I’d start downloading more music podcasts to listen to on the train. Here are the ones I’ve found so far:

Starting at a new company is always a daunting prospect, you’re never quite sure what to expect. When I started at CTI I had no choice but to hit the ground running.

This has always bugged me, you can’t easily download Drupal to your current directory using drush. After a quick search I found this issue - https://drupal.org/node/495438 The following command works well -

During my time off I figured I’d get my dev environment setup for when I start at CTI. Using the really great puphpet.com I’ve created two new vagrant configs, the first is for Apache the second is for Nginx.

For those that don’t know me I hate HTML and CSS odd considering the profession I’m in. I love when I see people do cool presentations and I really like to know how they’ve done it.

I’ve started working on some really cool projects now that I have a bit of time spare. I have 4 that I’m running concurrently which is quite a lot considering at least 2 of them are quite big.

After 3 and a half years at Ixis I’m sad to say goodbye. I think it’s time to move on and explore new opportunities. My time at Ixis has been great, the people are amazing and it’s been a pleasure to help shape their infrastructure and deliver sites for them.

Six months is a long time, it’s a percentage of my life gone. Just over six months ago things were a lot different. I’d never have guess I’d be here right now writing this.

Just a heads up I’ll be speaking at Drupal Yorkshire on the 13th August about Drush Commands and creating your own. Which reminds me I should probably make a start on the actual content…
