So last night, I finally dug into Matt Butcher's Drupal 6 JavaScript and jQuery, which I actually got for review back in February. :/ Ah well, life has been hectic, but hopefully, I'll be able to look it through now, without too many interruptions. Thanks to ProxyChains and Hacklab.dk's server, I've also been able to access CVS and Subversion repositories outside of the school's rather restrictive firewall, which means I'm going to try and be an active Drupal contributor again; which means getting Language Icons ready for Drupal 7 and pushing Pathauto forwards in general.

I also have quite a few Drupal sites to do - Libertære Socialister, Skibslag 5, and Musik & Ungdom - so it looks like 2010 won't be entirely Drupal-free. =)

How I got drush to work on my macosx with mamp pro, and still my illustrator & photoshop works fine, how to do magick stuff with the terminal with out deleting to much, and learning not to use my pen to navigate my desktop...

Theres actually people that wanna hear my opinion about stuff.
Yeah im a total media whore:

The first part of my Themers toolbox today im gonna look at a ton of Modules + some starter theme

You dont need a bass (or a guitar) to be a badass rockstar Drupal front end developer aka a themer.
To be imortalized forever and get more groupies than nikki sixx, you need some cool stuff, besides of black hair color, tatoos & cheesy songs about coding all night ;)

Modules & Themes for your steaming hot theming pleasure

thoughts and notes from the first Drupaldag in the rainy city Copenhagen

We had the first #drupaldag this weekend in copenhagen - and must say it went pretty cool.
Its awesome that we now can arrange small events that dont need any planning at all, and we still have 50 + people showing up and participating - and the weather sucker more than usual danish fall weather - Twitter is pretty cool for doing that.

When we have a voting like the one thats the DA have set up for selecting drupalcon 2010 & 2011 it raises some problems, and now that we are going for full transparency - and that twitter isnt the best way medium to take that debate - im gonna sum up my thoughts here.

The proposals for the next 2 years of the european DrupalCons have now been submitted, and it looks like its gonna be a race between Copenhagen, berlin and london.

To quote Robert Douglas who is on of the working force behind the new european selection process

The important point in all of this is the level of openness and transparancy that is being brought to the system.

Yet again my lack of cvs skills failed me miserably & I had to go back and try tag files in a folder so it got released with the last version of my "html nerdy" theme mothership ( it isnt a folder or how it is in cvs?...) well I came to reflect a bit over this cvs thing
I for one have a very passionate relationship with CVS that i had to write a Haiku:

A tale of about my hatred to $links and how i almost came to live with it, after i ate my own dog food.

As you may know theres ways to view all the wonderful elements that is hidden inside node.tpl files, and how you can find em' by using the nerdy module:
Devel module. Its an alpha omega module.

Well if youre scared of using dsm('$node'); just look at it as if it was a way of viewing the html source - see now its not so scary ;)
<?php
dsm('$node');
?>

Yesterday i got my code for typekit and it is übercool

so this is just a quick guide to get the typekit to work on you drupalsite, cause theres some small problems:

First get an account

I got my 5 invites and they are already claimed :/ - but now that i pushed mine to other drupal nerds i really hope that they send em further down the system to other drupal "frontender(s)" - yup were kinda trying to kill the term "Themer"

its speak like a pirate day, so lets look at a hidden theming trasure.

At my session "All your HTML are belong to us" at drupalcon Paris I asked about how many people used the "Devel" module, I thought that was a no-brainer, but much to my surprise only around 25% marked that they knew the module. That could ether be because they all were sleeping...

Yup yet again on the 3 october 2009 We gather the proud and fearless danes in the wonderfull city of copenhagen - offcourse others that wanna hang out is as always more than welcome :P What not in Danglish?

This time it will not be an international drupalcamp - and its not that we dont love you: Russians, Americans, French, German, Swiss, Norwegians etc ... oooh and the swedes offcourse ;)

Im tired of of battling with ie6, and getting it to behave as a modern browser. Really tired.

Its not that i cant get the layouts to look the same way - its just that everything takes for ever and ever to debug, to get it right, after all  I have been doing this since 96 - so I survived the browser war, the dot com crash, and even got dhtml to work in both ie5 and navigator 4. But its getting absurd with ie6 - it is now 2 (two!) versions behind ie8.

Had to clean my mind - so i played around with the open Atrium system, and kinda throwed together a little new theme

Update: released version 0.5 with loads of visual improvements ... and no this is not tested on IE - this is a hobby project right now, so its ment to be fun ;)

all youre html are belong to us session

As promised heres my slides from the drupalcon.
Hoped people liked the session even that i kinda dropped the whole "this is the best module ever" and went down the road of "Dude - learn you tiplphip magick and youll rock".
This was actually one of the mentally hardest session I have ever held. Don't know if it was the room or the subject? or the fact that i was speaking in a 500+ room where mark boulton, Dries boytard, Earl myles, john albin  and other "big" names gave their session.

Im heading to Paris tuesday morning for yet another drupalcon (I think its number 7 in a row) -Drupalcon is practical the closed you can come as a nerd to rock n roll festival \m/

Its gonna be awesome meeting all of the cool nerdy & geeky and clever & hot (yup hotass nerds!) drupalisticas,  partying all night, and geeking all day (wow that almost sounds like a 80 hair metal song)
Im gonna have a kick ass session about the whole theming stuff, and mark up control. Yup its gonna kick ass - So come by Thursday its gonna be fun - theres gonna be a bare naked view!

a long rant about druplicons visit, communication and how to get other to understand you Druplicon copenhagen salutes you

So 2 days til im gonna be on a plane back to wonderfull paris, yesterday @mrdruplicon came by my apartment - yup in life person, how cool is that!

Wow the drupalcon in paris looks like it got a pretty sexy and steamy program for us who dont live in a terminal, and like pretty colors (and sweet markup)

So this is the picks ive found so far im gonna checkout - please letme know if i missed something :)

Day 1:

16:00 ??
#d4d Meetup Lets  make a revolution and look pretty awesome while doing it ?
This is not confirmed or anything, but the idea is simple -lets try to gather the designer, themers etc and try to take the push we started in DCDC and make it rock a bit further.

The first day is mostly comercial training so i thought it would be cool to meetup?

19:??
