Boy have I been busy working and not updating my blog :( . I've got a lot of interesting tricks to share, but I've not been able to find the time to properly explain it.
A few months ago I met with members of the local Drupal community in the Surrey Drupal Meetup Group, which meets once a month on Thursday evenings. Unfortunately I have a prior commitment most Thursday evenings and can't attend as often as I like. If you're a developer and are just starting in Drupal, or are just curious about CMS's in general, I suggest you find a local group and meet a few people. It's a great learning and social experience. The people who attend are very helpful, and it's good to discuss problems in a collaborative setting. (Something that proprietorships and freelancers don't get to do as often as they should. I've managed to make a few contacts of people looking for help or offering work, which is always good for me. :)
These same people are organising a Drupal Conference here in Vancouver on the weekend of October 2nd-3rd: The Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit. I'll be attending both days, and making as many friends and contacts as I can. As much as I'd like to find work, just helping others with tricky coding problems is a lot of fun too. I'm very much looking forward to this conference.
