Drupalcon Copenhagen 2010 Swag!
·318 words·2 mins
I think the dust has settled form Drupalcon CPH, at least my hangover is now well and truly gone (although probably never forgotten, damned Awesomesauce!) Overall it was a great experience got to meet lots of really cool people both from the drupal community and form #drupaluk. I’ve seen quite a few blog posts rounding up Drupalcon so figured I might as well write my own but rather than comment on the rather stupid … wait for it …. here it comes … queue the DUM DUM DUUUUUUU Sex Scandal I figured I’d talk about the swag.

·261 words·2 mins

So I had an interesting idea while scrolling through the hundreds of modules on our dev site at work. Why not have an A to Z listing on the top of the page which then links to the corresponding section this would would make it a lot easier than scrolling and using find (think of all the dependencies).

With what seems to be a new social network being released every week, I’m looking at you Buzz, people have more than their fair share of choices to make.
