Roller Derby Boot Camp, Day 3 and 4
Today was my fourth day of roller derby boot camp. I wasn't able to post about my last time on Thursday because of exhaustion.
Both today and last Thursday were completely different, again. Thursday was awesome in that we spent the night doing an obstacle course of sorts. It included skating zig zag through cones, making a full stop, turning around and skating all the way back and doing a 180 degree knee turn, skating down the other way around a cone, then a jump.
This was not easy. It was especially not easy because at the very beginning of my first time around this obstacle course (4 times total), I pulled a muscle in my upper thigh pretty badly. I didn't want to wimp out of practice, though, so I skated with it.
I think my best time was somewhere around 48 seconds, which is pretty bad.
Southern California Linux Expo Recap
The 8th annual Southern California Linux Expo or SCaLE was this past weekend. The event was great; I found it informative, there were some really interesting booths set up in the expo halls, LA Drupal came ready with the Drupal forces at their own booth, and the people I met were awesome.
A couple days before the event, I saw some tweets about it and decided it would be interesting to go. It was completely a spur of the moment thing, and would turn out to be my first conference that wasn't focused solely on Drupal (except ComicCon...). With that, I didn't know what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised at how it turned out.
Roller Derby Boot Camp, Day 2
Roller derby is something I just happened to stumble upon. I went rollerskating at Skateworld here in San Diego a couple months ago with my girls, and it reminded me how much I used to love rollerskating. Growing up, I remember my sisters and I going to Roller Skate Land in Chula Vista repeatedly. I also recall when it shut down and moved to somewhere like L street, and trying to get people to go with me, but it slowly dwindled away.
Quad rollerskating doesn't seem to be very popular anymore. There's more popularity towards inline skating and the like, and roller rinks don't exist like they used to.
In any case, when I brought my kids to Skateworld I saw a signs for roller derby up on the walls. What's this? I wondered.

very nice
We're considering using drupal for a new electrical business that we are starting here in New Zealand. This has helped cement my ideas about it. Thanks!
I'm having theming problems, could you explain how you themed yours? Mine is here - http://iommo.com/feature and it's really bare bones. Thanks for a great demonstration!
@Danny Concannon, you've never sat beside someone who knew nothing about the things you do, and watched them try to post something/anything on Drupal, have you?
I wish this was available for D6.
thank you so much for posting about this. Amazing mess of modules to do this but awesome recipe! Soooo glad that someone's taking advantage of the new file api in 7 and even in quickly playing with it this is going to make upgrading to D7 a must for us. Sooo much better media integration and sets up for better resource management similar to Apture's simple way of getting web 2.0 content sources into 1 area. Love the way your doing this, keep up the great work.
I may have to look into writing a plugin to suck data in from other sources like Vimeo, Picasa, Scribd.
