When I'm working on screencasts or guides of some sort, either for a customer or for my own website, screenshots are an important part of the process. To make my work easier, I've made some changes to the workflow when it comes to screenshots and I thought I might as well share them with you. Instead of having the screenshots ending up on the desktop of my mac, I've done some changes that saves the screenshots to a certain folder. To make this happen you must enter a command in the Terminal program that ships with your mac (or a similar terminal program). Supposing that we want all screenshots to go into a dedicated folder called Screenshots within the… Read more...

Don't panic! Now, why should I name this blog "Don't panic!"? Well, for several reasons I would say. Firstly, why not? Secondly, as a appreciative nod towards Douglas Adams and his wonderful book "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" that had Don't panic! written on the cover of the guide book (which var a compact computer, the iPad of the time I would say). Finally, Don't panic! might soothe some of the feelings Drupal might conjure. Drupal, this computational pile of ones and zeros that builds a system of which you can build almost anything with the web and open source as a common denominator. Thirteen years of age and therefore a competent system that… Read more...
The Drupal Association contacted me when I was working on DrupalCamp Gothenburg 2013 and asked me to write a blog entry about the camp. This is the result, posted at The Drupal Association website in June of 2013. After visiting a DrupalCamp in 2011, I set off with a mission - to arrange a DrupalCamp in my hometown of Gothenburg. This became a reality only 5 months later and with the experience from that said camp of 2012 we set off to make the next one even better. And at the time when drupalers from all over the world started their journey back home from DrupalCon Portland, or stayed for the sprint weekend, a similar, but much much smaller event took… Read more...
Came for the code, stayed for the community. I've been online since 1994 and spends most of my time working with the web. Found Drupal in 2010 and fell in love with the community very quick, thus the account over at drupal.org and being a maintainer in the Swedish section of groups.drupal.org. I initiated and organized DrupalCamp Gothenburg in 2012, took another successful shot at it in 2013 and are now planning a new DrupalCamp in 2014. In the meantime I try to do my best in the Swedish podcast Drupalsnack and from time to time I try to do a screencast or two on YouTube. I try to share as much knowledge as possible here on my website and on my employers… Read more...
