Whootis.com - A place for Geoff
Yeah, someone lives here
A new job.
July 09, 2008
Not much in the way of updates recently. Mostly because I have been busy! Starting a couple weeks ago I was contacted by some recruiters. Turns out the company ATG is forming a new Operations group to help guide some companies that they have acquired here in Seattle. They needed someone with some good Operations experience. I am that person apparently. So July 11th is officially my last day at WildTangent. I have a lot of very dear friends here at WildTangent and I will mess them all immensely. But in the scheme of things, this job is a chance to do things I have wanted to do for a long time. Work in an all-Linux environment, and start doing some network stuff. Here's hoping for the best!
Ducklings.

Some of you may remember my article about saving ducklings in Bellevue and holding up traffic on I-405. If not you can now read about it here. I decided that I didn't want to risk loosing the article from the Seattle Times website so I made a local archive of it.Original Link: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com

Bummer, well unfortunately the Seattle 100 is going to be missed this year by yours truly. A scheduling conflict at work has left me on call for the weekend. So thank you for those that have already promised pledges. I would encourage you to continue to give you money to the NephCure foundation at the link in the previous post. They appreciate the funds that are collected at this event and the children who are helped by the organization DEFINITELY appreciate it.

This year I am again excited to be involved in the Seattle 100 presented by 2-Fast racing and benefiting the NephCure Foundation (www.nephcure.org). More information will be coming soon. If you were a donator last year, and wish to donate again this year the hang tite! Letters will be going in the main this coming week and a link will be back on here to donate through PayPal. If you can make it, join us on July 26 for this awesome event.
Finally!

After some fiddling and farting around I think I have managed to complete all the work that I needed to get my website updated to Drupal. I'm still not a fan of the way some of Drupal works, but as far as a CMS goes it's probably the best out there. I've managed to port my theme for my site over, and alter the navigation blocks to use the menuing system native to Drupal. I also have discovered some decent modules to extend the functionality.
I still have some work to do to it. I still have some holes in my CSS to complete the look and feel of the site, and I also am lacking my contact page (so if you need to get a hold of me, sorry for now). Fortunately Drupal uses a pretty robust form system so I don't think it will take too much to get it all back working again.
More soon.
