Lately I've been using Drush (http://drupal.org/project/drush) more and more to help me manage my Drupal projects. It works great on my Ubuntu machine and well on our CentOS production server.

I wanted to be able to run it on my old school Titanium mac. But it is still running OSX4 and php was a little outdated. What to do? Upgrade of course, but it wasn't quite as simple as that.

Haven't posted in awhile. Been busy. The camp in Colorado was awesome. It spurred me to check in on the Drupal community as it exists in Nebraska. Here's what's been going on.

Back at the crash pad after a long but great day of Drupally sessions. We skipped the after party and had pizza at Wazee's. Good food.

Anyways, here's my breakdown of the days activities:

Update:
The camp has started! There was a little problem with internet access at first hampering registration, but nothing that some folks with mobile access points couldn't figure out.

First session was a little basic for me but it had some good points. I will post more at the end of the day. Tweets from @jnasharu will be coming out instead.

Well, here I am in CO. Stayin with a cool cat here for the camp. Time to figure out the schedule for tomorrow and get ready to cram my head full of so much Drupalness.

Last time I checked in I had a Drupal project that was self-destructing on me. Every admin settings page was acting strangely. Modules shut themselves off, themes would become disabled all by just clicking "Save Configuration".

Turns out, playing around with theme overrides can bite you in the butt.

Wow! My current drupal project blew up in my face today.

I was looking at how the Administrator Menu I had installed was pushing some items down in my template. To make sure that the floating super menu was the one causing the issue I shut off the module. After saving the configuration in build/modules a whole bunch of modules were shut off.

Whaaaaaaaat!

I tried to re-enable the modules that had been turned off inadvertently, but every time I clicked save, anything I had checked off would not stay, and other modules that were still on were being turned off. "This thing is eating it's own modules.", I thought.

Recent projects have led me into heavy use of the Drupal 6.x Form API. As powerful and wonderful as it is, I occasionally run into an issue that is not easily solved. This is an account of my struggle with the #date type field.
