Used to be a boat builder in another life...my life is one of code now. What I like about my new, I can make Tea whenever I want, and my surroundings are not trying to slowly kill me.

I will be interested to see where @wordpress.org ends up based on this: wpshout.com/automattic-c...

Its a funny old world open source software.

hmm...sorry been a while, a combination Christmas/new years has really put a dent into things. Also refurbishing a bonfire...the less said about that the better.

Liking the look of the new #drupalcms @drupalassociation.bsky.social I am going to have to take a serious look at it.

So...not got too far again tonight...ran out of concentration again. But managed to finally get an install drupal onto a repo, added Drush and the Boostrap5 #drupal theme. Need to get my head around Drupal again, and then look at pushing to my hosting...take it easy folks, I am off for tonight :-)

There are some really nice folks on the @drupal.bsky.social slack channel. I think the people who support the CMS's really make them or break them...its nice to be nice :-)

Brrr...the UK is #cold at the moment...my solution to working from home to save electricity is to work in a winter grade sleeping bag. Keeps me warm.

Works been interesting today, couple of code tweaks for clients and 3 site update...

...more importantly its looks windy for the weekend :-D

well, didn't get too far tonight. Finally figured out how to create a repo in github (bitbucket is a bit different), and then remembered how to move stuff again in linux, getting the file permissions right was tricky...using #windows at work makes me lazy :-( #100daysofcode #codenewbie

how has it been a week since I have been here. Not sure where the time goes. Been a busy week so far at work. We shutdown over Christmas so theres a hard deadline for getting deploys done. Seems to mean we get quicker replies.

...done for the evening...not that I have achieved much.

wow...not sure how I got to Tuesday night really. Been pretty busy at work with things. Ironically a few 3rd party wordpress integrations, amongst other stuff...

New look #drupal 11 looks pretty interesting out the box.

After a full day of moving #wordpress 1's and 0's about, I think I need a break for one night.

Catch you on the other side folks :-)

Sometimes you just have to read...took me a while to realise I needed to install and enable the gd php ext to get the latest composer install of drupal to come down.

To be fair, its been a while, and Cpanel makes everything too easy.

Been a while since I used X, I used to follow the #100daysofcode through that when I was trying to get an IT job, logged in and got a shock. So I thought I would give blue sky a go! So far I am liking it a lot compared to X :-)
