Steve Jobs Video Links

Recently stumbled across a bunch of old Steve Jobs videos that are truly amazing and mind blowing just how advanced this guy was even at such a young age. He really was a visionary, it also makes me deeply sad that we have lost such an amazing mind... Who will take his place... Read more »

Drupal DownUnder where next?

At the end of Drupal DownUnder it was announced that the next one will be held in Sydney. Very excited about this will be great for the city, and also a good reason to show off some of the sights of Sydney. Stay tuned for updates, I will be getting around and lending a hand with promotion around NSW, plan to get up to Coffs and Gold Coast user groups with some promo material during the year.

Fun times ahead :D

Drupal DownUnder 2012

I was completely blown away with Drupal DownUnder this year. The organisation was spot on and the conference ran smoothly. There was also a large increase seeing an extra 100 people come through the doors then in 2011 Brisbane.

There was also a good number of non developer types at 2012. There were some concerns that in 2011 the audience was mainly developers which was bound to happen in some ways with it being the first year and all. The promotional work by Donna, Peter and Brian worked a treat and saw content editors, designers and business managers in good numbers. Read more »

PHP MiniConf Scedule Released

The OSDC PHP Mini Conference has been released.

http://phpcamp.net.au/schedule

I am pretty happy with the talks as I feel it covers a good range of PHP in a short time frame. Feel the mini conference is coming together quite nicely and hopefully will provide the community with a networking opportunity and interesting information.

I decided to open the last twenty minutes for lighting talks. Hopefully will get some people to jump up and give a talk, would be good to have a case study or two. Read more »

Seems Android is "attracting" Women

Was not happy with this article today, http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mobiles/nokia-playing-to-win-with-fir... mainly the comment,

"Telsyte was seeing “all sorts” of people buying Android devices or saying that they wanted to buy Android devices, Mr Fadaghi said. “They're not just nerdy males. We're seeing a lot more females attracted to Android for the fact that [Android] devices have a lot of different looks and form factors. [They're] a little bit more personalised than just the standard iPhone.”

Ok so the reasons I was not happy? Read more »

Your Data and Jurisdiction

For myself I have always hosted in the location of the head quarters for a company, for example an Australian Company requires Australian hosting, an international Company that has offices overseas but a head office in Australia would also require Australian hosting. Another example would be an Australian government they definetly should never be hosted outside of Australian soil...

If the company is based in UK then UK hosting, American then American hosting... Read more »

Hello Drupal

So last night was the first meet-up we had for Learning Drupal Sydney, at Demonz Media in Surry Hills, NSW, Australia http://www.meetup.com/Learning-Drupal-Sydney/events/29076311/

Demonz Media were also kind enough to donate some beers and pizza on top of the training space. Which was great as it took a load of my plate. Read more »
