NedCamp 2023 was a really terrific camp again this year.

I taught the Absolute Beginner's Guide to Drupal on the training day and really enjoyed the sessions at the camp, and connecting with a lot of people I know.

Great time!

It was 37F when I left Parkersburg WV this morning.  I wanted to ride Hwy 50 all the way into DC.  

Highway 50 runs the width of the country, starting (or ending) in Washington DC and passes through Aurora WV, a tiny hamlet along the way.

For years I have eaten at a family restaurant there but sadly, it has closed down.

I watched the DriesNote from DrupalCon Lille this morning and I’m pretty excited about the future plans for Drupal!  Dries talked about a lot of things (in a pretty creative narrative!!), including a new marketing initiative which I think is awesome, but these are the big ones for me.  

I asked ChatGPT “What is Drupal best for?” and here’s the response I got.

I asked ChatGPT “What is Joomla best for?” and here’s the response I got.

Joomla 3 End of Life (EOL) was scheduled for August 17, 2023.  Wisely, the project decided to extend that to January 2025 due to the shear number of Joomla 3 sites that have not yet migrated.

Have you ever gotten frustrated with TinyURL or Bit.ly when you couldn't get the shortcut you wanted?  Happens to me all the time.

Not any more.

I presented the session "The Ultimate Guide to Media in Drupal" at Drupal Camp Asheville on July 8, 2023.
