How I did it
How to take a hike
It took me
1 day
It made me
invigorated

How I did it: The key to taking a hike is preparedness.  Know your destination.  Dress appropriately and bring along some gear that may be helpful or at least fun.I looked up several potential destinations in my local area.  I found several helpful sites, local and national that pointed me in the right direction, which I'll list below.  The beauty of looking up potential destinations is that it also gets you really excited about fin… Read how I did it…

still reading quicksilver... 4 weeks ago

...but at least finished “Fool” and “You Suck” by Christopher Moore. High-larious, the both of them! Quicksilver’s actually a great book. Will probably finish this week, but not really sure why I’ve taken so long on it. Then again I also recently put down “Wicked”, another great book.

learn drupal (read all 3 entries…)
getting drupal's big picture 7 months ago

The Pro Drupal Dev book is great. Halfway through having learned about modules, nodes, hooks, menu items, etc I was having trouble pulling together the big picture: how do all these make a site?

Took a step back and thought about a target site archetype: sections, pages, page types, page sections/modules. Mapping the site out this way, creating a page taxonomy (page types and their content components) I was better able to relate to the nodes I’ll need, modules, and even admin behavior and permissions (what should be enabled/disabled, and for whom).

This will help a lot as I go forward with the reading (will probably be revisiting a few chapters) and will probably be revisiting this (both the notes I took and the exercise itself) several times in the near future.
