The district wide honor choir performed at 7:00 pm on March 11th, 2010. These kids have been practicing since near the beginning of the school year with Kathryn Donaldson and Tara U'Ren for an hour and half a week. I think that the practice really paid off - they sounded great. The children performed eight pieces all together in this second and last concert for this year's participants.

The buzz has been around for quite some time now. Google announced that they were no longer going to support IE 6 and the clever folks at Aten Design Group snapped up ie6funeral.com to announce the next Aten Office party. They asked folks to RSVP and leave thoughts on the site. Little did they know that it would suddenly be a top trender on Twitter, that the BBC would pick up on the scheme, that they would get Techcrunched, featured on the front page of Slashdot and get on the front page of CNN.

I arrived with friends, suitably attired in my black suit and slowly made my way over to the casket where the corpse was lying in repose. I had to meander past folks with protest plackards and through a group of mourners surrounding the pine box. Ben gave his last respects and ended his personal moment with a crossing of his chest.

SCAN DEVELOPER – JOB DESCRIPTION

As a Developer, you will be responsible for participating in the design, development, implementation, testing, quality assurance, and maintenance of all layers and aspects of our products and systems. This position has significant hands-on coding responsibilities on a high-volume high-availability production system, and requires a strong background in computer science and web development with knowledge of the full software development life cycle. The position additionally requires an individual capable of forward thinking particularly with respect to performance and scaling requirements.

Our team is spread around the world and a successful candidate will work in close communication with the rest of the team, so good online communications skills are important. This also requires the developer to work flexible hours that accommodate other team members and production requirements, with at least half of the work time overlapping the Pacific Time zone regular working hours.

When I was working on the California Watch site, we needed an easy way to allow non-technical folks to add photos to the bodies of articles. There was a fair bit of effort put into setting up alternate solutions prior to settling on using quicksketch's fabulous Insert module.

A few housekeeping items.

• You need cck 2.5
• You need to have WYSIWYG setup
• It helps to have FileField
• and ImageField
• and ImageCache
• and of course the Insert Module itself

Unpack the module in your sites/all/modules directory (I like creating a contrib directory inside the modules directory so I can separate out various kinds of non-core modules.) Enable the module at admin/build/modules

I added a new field to my page content type by going here: admin/content/node-type/page/fields and added a field image_uploads

Vintage Digital LLC needed a voice. It needed a place for the team members to talk about what we are up to, things we're working on, conferences we're attending, and things we're thinking about. You know the drill. Basically we wanted a place that we could blog together. The team is busy on different client work causing us to suffer from the classic Cobbler's Dilemma. We really needed a pair of shoes, even a modest pair.

We have launched a very simple blogging site for the time being. The intent will be to create a more robust and visually interesting site in the future. For the time being, this gives us a collective voice on the Web. In the near future, you should look out for an interesting article on Ubercart from John Fiala plus many more tidbits as the New Year unfolds.
