We had 5 (including me) show up for last nights #chchtweetup. Lasted for about 2-3 hours. Not a bad gathering for such short notice.

So, take 2. This time with a weeks notice, same setup.

Location: The Twisted Hop, 6 Poplar Lane, Christchurch.
When: 5:30pm (weekdays) 1pm (weekend)
Date: Tue(2009-04-07)
Based on the votes below the fold...

The short version: Tweetup here, 5:30pm until whenever. Look for the guy in the big boots(You'll know them when you see them).

The long version: I was just contacted out of the blue by @ghozali asking about a Christchurch Tweetup. After a little investigation and coming to the conclusion that this person wasn't insane or a spammer I thought I'd follow up on it. I was under the impression that "Tweetup" was a functional site but a quick search proved otherwise.

So, with that in mind I'm resorting to a generic blog post and the use of #hashtags.

I've just had an annoying couple of hours trying to fix a bug in IE 6/7. I had an interesting CSS error where the background of the parent element was disappearing when an anchor was moused over.

BWMsnow and SkateGear were having the same problem. Here, we have an image logo, wrapped in an anchor, wrapped in an <h1>, wrapped in a page-header div. It looks like this;

Well... I've done it. Today marks my first year in business for myself. For the most part it's been a learning experience and, I'm pleased to say, profitable.

There have been a few hiccups with some clients and their ability to pay on time and pay according to the terms they agreed too. One of these has effectively been fired. Having weathered that though, things are looking up. I've managed to form a good relationship with a number of reputable companies, I have good projects coming up and a little cash in reserve.

Confidence in this self-employment thing is high.

So, Chrome has been released and from all reports it's a pretty impressive piece of software.  There seems to be a lot if debate over the EULA and its rather God-like claim of ownership of any and all content sent or displayed in the browser.  In the context of a Web browser the EULA is just insane.

All Drupal Core (5.10/6.4). This update is a maintenance release fixing problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as critical security vulnerabilities.

You can see the details here and here. The major fix is security related.

I'd been banging my head against this for a while now and finally dug around in includes/pager.inc to figure out what was going on...

The situation;
I had a query and while pager_query() returned the correct results theme('pager') always returned way too many pages.

The Tempest page is finally done. I really need to get this site migrated to a Drupal based system. The online registration form is done also. This was a quick one. Just a slight modification of the one set up for NatCon08. This one only took about 30 minutes this time.
