I am sitting in session number 2 called Cloud Talk (S3, EC2, ...) that a gentleman named John Williams is currently giving. This is great cause it isn't Drupal-centric it is cloud computing and tech-centric. And it dovetails beautifully with session number 1 Dru-tube (You-tube in Drupal in 50mins) and it was amazingly well done. Arthur from http://www.24b6.net/ is the one that did Dru-tube, all I have to say is keep an eye out for the video that was taken in that session, this session is what DrupalCamp NYC 4 will be compared against. I will add onto this later if I have the time.

Sitting down in the Intro to Drupal session that Thomas is leading and there are about 40-50 people eagerly hanging on his every word. I am here hoping to help out I love being part of this community and assisting when I can.

Please grab me if you need a hand I will be here for 2 days :)

Hi all I hope you have come by to see the new design rather then reading this in your favorite RSS reader, cause there is a new design gracing hte pages of RobbieTheGeek.com. That being said I lay no claims to how good that design is, what I will talk about is that it is first very representative of me right down to my face and the binary in the header. What I like is that I designed a very clean header + 3 column design, and tried to sprinkle in a little me to the feel.

Today is a very busy side work day for me, I will be working on two projects for most of the day, this is very different then just one year ago. I am feeling very nostalgic today, one year ago just about this time, I returned to school, knew little about Drupal and thought I was busy LOL. Now as I sit here this morning I look at a week full of 4 days of fulltime job, 2-5 days of side work, 2 of 3 of my classes, and I am looking forward to it all.

Last night was the NYC Drupal August meetup at Mansueto's offices at 7 World Trade Center. This was the first meetup under a new more structured format, of lightening talks, and then splitting the group into newbies and ninjas. During the lightening talks last night, I gave a quick run through my current projects. I first ran down Hot Report's functionality, how I took it from designer's comp and functional specification and some of the modules and the dealt with output from the views.

It is with a lot of exuberance that I announce that http://www.thehotreportonline.com/ has been launched this evening. This project was long, and very satisfying, and a great learning experience. This project at times felt a little like it was never going to end, and go live but alas today is has been moved over to the live production server. There are some very interesting design challenges on this site, the use of the content as the actual subnavigation was interesting because the site's owners didn't always have the same number of stories in each section.

I am home after two long days of Drupal, socializing, learning and teaching. I had a great time meeting a lot of new people, and seeing folks that I met at DrupalCamp NYC2 and catching up. This DrupalCamp was a different experience for me then the last, since I knew more people, and knew more Drupal.

Today is the first day of DrupalCamp NYC 3!!!
It is very excitng and will be alot of fun, for nerds like me. Please visit and sign up on the wiki if you are planning on attending. The first day is very much accessible to all, day two will be more for module hackers, and people looking to turn DrupalCamp into a hack-fest.

After having over a month's worth of annoyance and downtime for both this site and heartyhandshake.com, I can say no more!

Well the blog had gone quiet for the last week or two, I was very busy with my current project, but in the end that wasn't why I haven't blogged. The main reason I haven't blogged is that my site was almost inaccessible, it was offline more often then it was online. I was hosted by GoDaddy.Com, and tonight in about 20 mins I moved the site over to HostMonster.Com, it took longer to upload the files and modules that make up a Drupal install then it did for DNS transfer, hosting account creation, database creation, and anything else I am forgetting.
