This has been bugging me for a while, the cheap and easy way to make changelogs: git log 6.x-1.0-beta8...6.x-1.0-beta9 --pretty=format:'%h was %an, message: %s' > ~/changelog.txt

After having quite a few months off from coffee I’m finally back into it and brewing again. This is an updated method I use for brewing Aeropress without any hassle and only the minimum amount of effort.

I decided to move to Ack for searching as it has nice switches like –php and –nosql. By default ack doesn’t recognise .module, .install or .inc files so you have to add them.

It’s that time again now that I’m well and truly full of drupalflu. This years pickings were slim to none, not that there wasn’t anything great out there but I just didn’t have the time to go out and grab any.

Today I gave a talk to 6th form students at Appleton Academy about getting into the industry and more specifically the drupal industry. It was a very interesting experience, one thing that was clear from the start is that schools suck.

It’s amazing what a quick lick of paint can do! I’m now using a theme called simple clean and overriding all default fonts with a font selected using the Google Fonts module.

You know that feeling… the one where your 2000 meters up staring out over snow covered mountains shaking snow off your skis, looking down the hill, picking the line, clearing your mind, ready for that one last push, sinking down as your skis carve through the snow, leaning into corners as you sweep round effortless turns.

Here’s a novel idea, why not use Kickstarter.com to fund module development? For example (because we can never have to many!) a new Image Slideshow module. The base price would be say $1000 to kick start the development process.

Note: Due to popular demand I’m publishing this early, there will be future revisions. There’s a post on the drupal.org mailing list which caught my attention - http://bit.ly/g56sOj There has been some chatter on Twitter concerning the future of the forums on drupal.

For well over a year now I’ve been using an Aeropress. I started with a crappy espresso machine, then moved on to cafetiere, still dabble with filters (Chemex is on my list of things to buy) but the one piece of equipment I’ve stuck with has been my Aeropress.
