Returning Home

I am really sleepy so this blog will be super short in comparison to the previous.

It was a good trip and the courses were great. Learned many things about Drupal and now I need to transfer the knowledge to other team members and get kicking with the redesign of the home page and top level pages.

JFK airport was ok, reached early and did some work on a document I have for the boss lady. For the first time I did the full selft check-in. Swiped my passport and all, it was easy, printed my boarding pass and dropped off the bag at the counter.

Roaming the streets

Today was a roaming day. Straight from class to the streets to see what was out there. Went by the State Capitol and saw nothing. It was like too quite.... Guess all the action is on the inside but since all the mayors were heading to town I didn't even try to get inside. Next thing them tell me how I am in some kinda trouble and I can't get to go home to the ackee and banana on a Saturday morning.

Providence - Ending of day two

 The day began similarly to day one. We had breakfast at the same place. Price was good but should be going elsewhere tomorrow.

The session was about building Drupal forms and then security. Yeah we did some ethical hacking and it was fun. Made me think that I need to secure our web server and what other checks we will need. Think it requires a real security person for the web servers [@Jeremy, that means better deployment of scarce human resources].

Providence - Ending of day one

So the training was not bad, but I still think the application is not easy to understand. It is like a PHD thesis, you will only understand if you are at a certain level. Needless to explain what level I am at.

 

Drupal Rhode Island training

Got to the hotel late last night after chasing a plane in DC. Lost my luggage in DC  but not worried as they said it would be here in less than 24Hrs plus I had packed extra pieces just in case the main bag got lost. 

 

Last Night was ok, had a drink and food at the bar. Guess it was a good joint based on Yannick's expression in the pic.

It is the first day at training in Rhode Island. We have Norwegians, Russians, Canadian. A few universities that you can identify with like Harvard, North Eastern, McGill and more.

 

Drupal

Drupal LymeKeeping departments engaged in maintaining current web content has been one of the web team's greatest challenge in years gone by. Looking for a solution we decided to choose a Content Management System (CMS) and run with it. This CMS should be flexible and most important of all, easy for the users to adapt, accessible and very user friendly. Drupal was selected and we decided to begin the rollout process.
