Thanks to the folks from UW and Brazen who helped put together DrupalCamp Wisconsin in Madison this past Friday and Saturday. There were over a hundred folks in attendance, great sessions, and Drupal cupcakes!
Here are the slides from my presentations:

Sadly, after almost two years and about two thousand miles I had to sell the Rebel. It was hard watching some stranger drive away with it. Thanks for the memories little guy!

Goal:
This is a basic IP failover setup. There are other tools out there like Heartbeat and the Linux-HA suite. But I wanted something with less overhead. I also wanted something that was 'semi-automatic'.

I've had a lot of fun today at the Chicago Drupal Jam: http://jam.cdmug.org/
The event featured 7 Drupal 7 presentations. It has been a while since I've fired up Drupal 7 and have to say I'm pretty excited. I think Drupal 7 is really going to blow people away. Especially the Wordpress / Joomla holdouts who love those packages' UIs and bemoan Drupal's. Drupal 7 'out of the box' looks really slick. And under the hood there are some exciting changes.
A couple of notes from the day.
Q: When Will Drupal 7 Be Release?
A: Answer (From Crell), 'When it is Ready'!

I worked most of this weekend, b/w a poetry reading, a piano bar, getting a good run in and hanging out w/ rjs, on updating the Drupaldelphia theme.

It is no secret that Comcast DNS servers are at times terrible: http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/5672
At work we've found that for some reason we couldn't reach google, gmail, or all of our google products. This happened several weeks ago and was worse on Macs and our Linux machines.
We all switched to using OpenDNS, instructions here for Ubuntu: https://store.opendns.com/setup/operatingsystem/ubuntu , and not only did our web-surfing get way quicker, but we were able to reach google without a problem.

I couldn't find this anywhere else online, so I thought I'd post it here. I think of this poem every year when the Oscars roll around. I don't think the celebs are as 'talentless' as Bukowski claims but I think he meant this as both serious critique and tongue and cheek.
This
by Charles Bukowski
self-congratulatory nonsense as the
famous gather to applaud their seeming
greatness
you
wonder where
the real ones are
what
giant cave
hides them
as
the deathly talentless
bow to
accolades
as
the fools are
fooled
again
you
wonder where

How to Change Everything and Hack Nothing

I've been staring at the linux folder structure for some time now. I've gotten used to where everything goes, figured out that 'etc' is for configuration and 'var' is for variables and so on, but never actually seen an explanation of it. That was why I was interested to stumble upon the Filesystem Hierarchy Documenation: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html
