Drupalcon Copenhagen 2010 Swag!

I think the dust has settled form Drupalcon CPH, at least my hangover is now well and truly gone (although probably never forgotten, damned Awesomesauce!)

Overall it was a great experience got to meet lots of really cool people both from the drupal community and form #drupaluk. I've seen quite a few blog posts rounding up Drupalcon so figured I might as well write my own but rather than comment on the rather stupid ... wait for it .... here it comes ... queue the DUM DUM DUUUUUUU Sex Scandal I figured I'd talk about the swag.

Scrobbling from iPod classic using Foobar

I figured I'd write this as a reference for an IRC channel I op as quit a few people wonder how to Scrobble from an iPod Classic.

You need a few things:

1. Foobar

2. foo_dop.dll - http://bit.ly/dBI3Cm

3. foo_audioscrobbler - http://bit.ly/cRBrGj

Place both dlls in your components folder and then restart foobar.

My long lasting trials with Linux

Another year, another release of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu has been my choice of fustration ever since version 5 I think, it's been that long ago I can't remember.

Every year I've said myself that I'll ditch windows and move to linux. Below is a rough timeline of every single fail I've had with linux.

1. Ubuntu 5 - Wifi card plainly refused to work, my knowledge of linux was low so I gave up after a few hours.

2. Ubuntu 6 - Wifi card refused to work, spent 2 days trying to get it to work. Graphics card was buggy.

A-Z Module Page

So I had an interesting idea while scrolling through the hundreds of modules on our dev site at work. Why not have an A to Z listing on the top of the page which then links to the corresponding section this would would make it a lot easier than scrolling and using find (think of all the dependencies).

I'll have a go at making it this weekend for D6 then see what it's like porting it to D7. I'll also submit to drupal.org it might finally get me a CVS account :)

IMDB Top 250

A blog post in which I attempt to watch all top 250 movies as rated on IMDB. (Bold I've seen)

 

Social Media Recursion

With what seems to be a new social network being released every week, I'm looking at you Buzz, people have more than their fair share of choices to make. This got me thinking, why not have an account on everyone? Well for a start there's no point, but most crucial is why bother if none of your friends are on there.

Now this is the part where recursion comes in, the majority of social networks have some sort of api or some hook that developers can use to interact with the services. So why not hook them all together? For example:
