For a long time I wanted to contributed code to Drupal, I have a few times but no where near as much as I thought I was going to do.

This week I’ve found out I run a ridiculous amount of chat apps.
Here is a run down of what I have on my macbook:
Hipchat - for work Skype - for dad and freelance work Airdroid - for my phone Pidgin/Adium - for hangouts, mostly to contact Hannah and Eli Slack - for NWDUG community Limechat - for #drupaluk and #phpnw Steam friends - not often used All these apps fall into specific categories; work, social and play.

This has taken me way longer to work out than it should so I figured I’d write this up so people can use it while they wait until Rocket League comes out for linux.

Conference season is looming pretty fast, I’m giving talks at two of my most respected conferences.
Being able to talk is a great thing, I love the fact that I can do it what I don’t like is the afterwards.

I seem to have been all over the place today. Didn’t really get chance to focus on something for more than 5 minutes.
Went to nwdug though and I remember why it’s such an important part of the Manchester Drupal scene.

Just couldn’t seem to get into today at all. Didn’t help that I had no appetite all day and only had porridge for lunch. Coffee did nothing to help me at all.

Pretty good day overall, stayed calm regardless of what’s going on.
Prepping for my presentation on Wednesday which is actually pretty cool. Added a stupid feature to drush-docset so I can demonstrate it.

Woke up next to Hannah and she was smiling, that’s a very nice way to start the day. Really looking forward into our house.
I’m still shattered from London but I’m coming round.

Still so tired from London. Had a relaxing morning and afternoon though.
Hannah came over in the evening and we went for food and drinks which was great. Always feel positive when she’s around.

I’m so tired. London really kills me. It doesn’t help that my train was cancelled for the second time in a row.
I don’t really have much to say today, the only real positive was that I got to work on some static site search research and look into twig a bit more.
