Managing a Drupal Consulting Firm DC CPH 2010 notes (and some thoughts)

Summary: Great diversity in approaches, some common themes: choosing clients who are well-resourced and good to work with, getting a project manager, relentlessly working on internal communication whether in-person or virtual, and sharing everything good. Commoditization of Drupal skills is happening, and the Drupal ecosystem demands a lot of investment in giving stuff away. Being Drupal experts won't be enough to sustain the rates that sustain this, specialization required.

Increase main partition size in Ubuntu within VMWare Fusion

That was well nigh impossible. GUI fail, on gparted's part.

These steps won't be 100% complete because it's 7:15am and i spent the last hour frying my brain on this stuff (after the brain unilaterally called a break about 2:15am and i fell asleep), but they do fill in some gaps other resources out there don't quite cover. Some even seem to (falsely) suggest that unallocated space must be made into its own partition first. Here are some of the better links; my (final working) steps below.

Drupal adds class js to html tag when JavaScript is enabled

texas-bronius: What's the best way to provide css for non-js-enabled browsers that differs for css for js-enabled?
17:13 texas-bronius: hi benjamin-agaric welcome back
17:15 benjamin-agaric: texas-bronius: hi. Assign the classes themselves with JavaScript?
17:15 texas-bronius: benjamin-agaric: duh. Yes, good idea thanks. Class name could be "hasjs" or something.

[Agaric-specific] Set up a Trac issue queue for a project

Visitors, please note that while Agaric-specific documentation may be informative to you, it is meant primarily for Agaric's internal use and is highly unlikely to work step-by-step without fulfilling an awful lot of dependencies first.

After setting up the project per Deploying the Agaric way, we can use our trac setup vlad task to do most of the work.

From within the project:

rake test vlad:setup_trac

Failure of a large form (by Drupal module Bubbletimer) to submit, Suhosin post max variables error in Apache log

I originally posted the problem to the Bubbletimer module issue queue, Unable to save (pressing Save button has no effect).

The error can be seen be seen on the server by looking at the Apache error log:

sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

Try to submit the 20 activity form, and nothing happens on the Drupal /bubbletimer page, but this error shows up in the log:

What happened to hook_nodeapi in Drupal 7? The ultimate de-opping.

The nodeapi ops were turned into hook_node_[operation] functions, such as:

Dvorak international keyboard makes typing on Ubuntu awesome

The Dvorak international layout makes Ubuntu as smart as a Mac for dead-straightforward sensible access to accented characters and other goodies.

It adds a "third layer" (after plain key presses as the first layer and after typing with the shift key held down as the second layer), and it puts all the international-style characters we are likely to use

So let's do it.
