Here are my perspective picks for tomorrow at DrupalCon. Yes, some of the time slots have 2 picks for which my clone and I will be each attending separately.

Here is the situation:
We are using a distro of Drupal that I made, which is just drupal core with a bunch of selected modules included. My distro can be found here: http://github.com/z3cka/drupal/tree/distro-z3
Note that this screencast is actually on the private repo that is a fork of the above. I will merge the new changes to the public distro-z3 at some point.

This is how I add a module to the distro branch and merge it into my core project branch.

So, WHY?

Before:

After:

Dependencies of node_import are now met.

Two days ago I got a call from my former professor at UNLV. When I was in his web and object oriented programming courses I had an idea to provide access to a real hosting environment for other students. This will also provide me with some users to test how to manage multiple clients.

The funny thing is that Ranel, my professor, had crossed my mind maybe a few weeks ago. I was thinking that I should contact him to see how his projects are going and if I could play a role in helping out the class.

So the answer is yes. I have launched another hosting platform for this very reason. So, please fill out the form here http://twistedpairwd.com/free-hosting-students if you are interested. I will email you your access information over the weekend and get you all set up for hosting your school projects. The system is not automated so I will be in contact if i need anything else from you.

Thank you and enjoy.

Check it out!

Bring on the spam! Let it rain down on the newly spam protected Twisted Pair WD dot com... I have been noticing an increasing number of fake accounts being created on this site... So I decided to check out mollom.com's services.

I am not new to spam protection technologies and have been very pleased with other captcha and math based solutions through Drupal modules. I just thought I would check out Dries's approach, I'm a big fan of Acquia and such... so we will see how it goes.

Cheers,
