I received a most excellent Christmas present from a friend of mine:
Druplicon cookies (looks like she saw my Drupalcamp Montreal shirt!)
And though she didn't know it, the other cookies matched the theme perfectly:
Kitten cookies (taste extra good when you hack core)
Using a Novatel U760 on Snow Lepoard (with automatic ejecting)
Submitted by andrew on Mon, 10/26/2009 - 13:53
One of the most useful new features in Snow Leopard is built-in support for many common WWAN USB devices used to connect to the internet over a 3G connection. This means that instead of having to use a special application (such as "Mobile Connect" when connecting with Bell), you can just use the new menu applet instead. I'm using a Novatel U760 adapter, and here are the steps I used to make its use seamless under 10.6.

Waterloo Region DUG Meeting: Simplifying Drupal Development with Subversion
Submitted by andrew on Fri, 07/17/2009 - 12:31
Yesterday I gave a presentation to the Waterloo Region Drupal User Group about the basics of using Subversion to manage a Drupal website. Most of the presentation applies to any use of Subversion, though I do touch on a few specifics relating to Drupal. If you're interested in learning about using version control to manage any website or project, this is a great place to start.

For my masters work, I'm currently focusing on creating a framework for classifying computers users as experts or novices. I was very surprised that such a framework or template didn't all ready exist. In most cases, researchers will choose a single attribute and use that to classify users as "experts" or "novices". For example, the most common selection criteria I've seen is to use Web developers as "internet experts", and computer science students and professors as "computer experts".
