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.php composer.json

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. Stand out album from this period has to be:

Since we have git flow as a nice standard it makes sense to standardise our commit messages as well. Here’s the following proposed standard: [Updated | Added | Removed (required)] [Component (required)] [Reason] - [Issue Reference (required)]

Here’s my presentation from nwdug in April 2014

Over the weekend I’ve been working on migrating my site away from Drupal. I managed to get everything up and running on Octopress but it just doesn’t feel right. It’s not as flexible as Drupal and it seems the simplest of things breaks it. In theory I like the concept of Octopress but it just seems clunky compared to Drupal.

As of the 6th February I’ve stepped down from NWDUG it’s something that I’ve been thinking about for a while now and I now have other things that need my focus. Phil Norton is a great person to work with and I hope that whoever steps up to help will have as much fun as I have over the past few years.

Calm the fuck down. No I’m not quitting my job. I’m happy with Drupal and will continue to work with it. Those that know me should realise I’ve not worked in depth with Drupal in a long time. My current project is great and it’s made me realise that I need to spend more time with underlying tech than just Drupal, the best way I can describe it is this project is London and Drupal is the Thames, it runs all the way through but it’s by no means the sum of all it’s parts. Hopefully that will put things in perspective now.

I’m proud to announce that I’ll be involved with Code Club Manchester! CTI has graciously sponsored this great initiative. Both me and Paul Johnson have volunteered our time to help steer the Code Club in Manchester and make sure it’s as successful as possible.
