Life

Yet again here I am with the late update! :) I've been quite busy with my new job working for Danube Technologies as a contractor.

Basically what I've been doing is completely revamping their Drupal 4.6 website into something a little more modern. This ended up being perfect for me as I have quite of experience with Drupal and they're not trying to do anything bizzare on their website (asside from a few custom support solutions for their clients).

Well about a week ago I got offered a full time job working for them as programmer/admin/tech at a decent pay grade. Well I looked over what they had to offer and ended up taking the job yesterday, among the perks, they pay for my bus pass to Bellevue and I get a laptop as well as the whole benefits package. Hooray laptop! (Yes, notice the priority in this geek's head)

Since I already work for them as a contractor, I just get transitioned in as an employee, sounds like a relatively painless process.

The neat thing is, I drive to Woodinville (15 minute drive across 522) and then there's a direct bus to the Bellevue Transit Center about 2 blocks from Danube's office complex.

Anyway that's really all that's going on here. Hope everyone is well and happy :).

Those of you who want access to the friends areas will need to sign up (use a username I can recognize or use an e-mail address you know I have on file :)). I'll drop you into the friends role as soon as I see the e-mail from Drupal.

I'm currently tweaking the site and the theme to my preferences so don't be surprised if you see some changes happening in the near future. This theme is nice but I'm not quite happy about how it looks.

Recommendations are welcome! I'll probably be hacking up some modules to do stuff that Drupal doesn't do but we'll save that for later.

Anyway I must get back to my hacking. Enjoy the new site.
