Drupal Consultant
At the beginning of this month, we went to the Hunter Valley Airshow at Cessnock Airport.
It was a great day!
Parking wasn’t a problem, which is always a big win, but it was hot. In most parts of Australia, if the sun is out this time of year, you’ll burn.
It’s been a long time since I was at an airshow and there was more than just aircraft at the show.
Below are some photos from the day… Enjoy.
On our nightly walk along Merewether Beach, we noticed a giant umbrella half submerged in the sand.
The umbrella is part of a guerilla marketing campaign by Netflix promoting “The Umbrella Academy”. I did have to google what it is. 🙂
This was a fun video to record. I decided one night to build a whole website and record it. By the end, I ended up with a video which is 3 and a half hours long.
On Thursday, I did my Icebreaker speech at Toastmasters.
This is the second time I’ve done an Icebreaker, so it’s my Icebreaker 2.0.
The presentation went well, got a few laughs and I was able to do the whole speech without notes.
When I joined my first Toastmasters club I’d always use notes with the lectern. This time I got up and moved the lectern to the side and went for it.
Now it’s time to prepare for my next speech.
DrupalSouth this year will be held in Canberra this December.
My presentation, Media Management in Drupal 8, has been accepted which is great news!!!
Best of all, I’ll be presenting at 9 am on Monday (the first day), which is great because I can get the presentation over and done with. Then I can relax and enjoy the conference.
My session is broken out into two parts; slides and demo.
I have 63 slides where I discuss the history of media in Drupal and which modules you should use.
The rest of the time will be spent demonstrating how to configure modules.
Hope to see you all at DrupalSouth.
I’ve been sworn in as a member at a new Toastmasters club, so now it’s official. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I attend my first Toastmasters meeting in a couple of years.
I’ve found a great club and looking forward to working my way through the new Pathways program.
I completed the competent communicator manual at the first club I joined which was about 12 years ago (damn I feel old 😀).
Now I need to work on my icebreaker speech.
In my latest tutorial over at WebWash, you’ll learn how to use Bootstrap 4 using the Barrio theme in Drupal 8.
This is the first of a few tutorials which cover how to use Bootstrap 4 in Drupal 8.

The Talking Drupal podcast which I recorded two weeks ago is out.
If you want to listen to me rambling on about Media in Drupal 8 for an hour (and who doesn’t), then click on the link below:

On Thursday morning (AEST), I was interviewed on the Talking Drupal podcast and had a great time.
We talked about all things media management in Drupal 8, the past and the future.
The episode won’t be out until next Monday. But if you’re looking for a Drupal podcast then I highly recommend the show.
In my latest tutorial over at WebWash, I demonstrate how to use the “Combine fields filter” in Views.
It allows you to search across multiple fields in Views.
