Drupal Local User Group Inland Empire (DLUGIE)
I had a great time out at the meeting tonight. Future meetings should be a great opportunity on how to better use Drupal.

LUGIE October
I’m at the Linux Users Group Inland Empre (LUGIE) meeting. I’d like to give a little update on what we have been disscussing.
So far we disscussed the new Ubuntu 10.10 coming out tomorrow. There isn’t too much exciting going on there.
The most interesting things are the updates to Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE) and the addition of commercial software to the software center.
Currently UNE doesn’t work on my Aspire One due to issues with the driver and acceleration.
The next presentation that was dived into was concerning the highly hackable Arduino board. Conveinently Ubuntu 10.10 has the software in the repos to program with it out of the box.
The presenter has shown us his project and his attempts to create a plain interface using gcc to code as opposed to the pretty IDE it uses by default.
Lefty’s Reading Challenge
I just finished issuing certificates for Lefty’s Reading Challenge and boy has it been a challenge for me. Students had the opportunity to read from the library for the month of November and win a prize from the Speedway of:
- A certificate of completion
- One (1) complimentary ticket for a parent or guardian to the CampingWorld.com 300 on Saturday, Oct. 9
- One (1) complimentary membership to Lefty’s Kids Club that gets kids 12 and under free to NASCAR Qualifying Day on Friday, Oct. 8 and the CampingWorld.com 300 on Saturday, Oct. 9
- A complimentary CPKids meal at participating California Pizza Kitchens
Not as many students completed as I had hoped but it seems to have been a good incentive for those that did. It also took quite a bit of work to track but it has been worth it.

Updated my site
I just updated the theme for pauldarr.org. In addition I added a function for the recent web design clients that I have had to have the ability to pay me online. I think I will flesh out that section more. I also put a contact page up and expanded my stalker section (links to my networks). Then for fun there is a Google Translate button. Now friends from all over the world can read my site in badly translated versions of their native tongue.
