A quick post to share my gEdit Drupal Snippets. I plan on writing up a howto sharing my setup with gEdit and plugins I use to turn it into an awesome PHP IDE-ish setup for working on Drupal. And well anything really.

I'm also including my TODO snippets to be used with the gEdit TODO plugin saves you a couple of key punches…

And yes, I'm still alive…apparently. And I'm planning to start writing more soon. Lots of things on my mind.

But for now, here's the Snippets for you to import.

"The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated…"

More later... For now. I leave you with this reminder of the true reason for the season.

It's a good question that I think more people should ask more often.

Where am I?

Well, right now I'm at work. Back in DC. Thousands of miles away from where I was last week, Japan. (pictures soon)

It's fairly obvious. So the question is obviously simple right? Well, no. Not so much. I came back from Japan, to my home here in DC. That's what you do right? Vacation is over, back to the real world... all that. Maybe for some, but I think that's because they don't ask themselves the question.

Where am I?

The watchful eye of the a Police Box in Japan. This is something I
wish we had in the states. Every so many blocks or miles or whatever
here in Japan, you will find a small building (some smaller than the
one pictured) housing a helpful police officer. Be it help with
directions, or help of a more serious nature, help is there. Or at
least it seems that way so far.

I say... is that always a bad thing? You're faced with new challenges, new experiences. Good or bad. They help us grow.

What's the most impulsive thing you've ever done?

Did you regret it?

When's the last time you did anything impulsive? Last week? year? Ever?

Note: For those curious, I'll be on-line sporadically over the next 3 weeks. I'll likely post some pics... at odd hours

Here in the U.S. once we get healthcare coverage, it can be a challenge to keep it. We live in a society that puts a price tag on how healthy we can be.

I'm lucky in that I work for an organization with excellent health insurance (not that I use it very often), but I know lots of people who don't have any, or only have extremely basic and restrictive coverage.

Is healthcare where you live moving the right direction?

A work of art.

Recently, I moved into my own apartment. Just me, myself, my insane cat...

...and my stuff.

I thought I'd take this as an opportunity to get organized, to get rid of some clutter. I moved without any furniture, except for a drafting desk and a dresser, which means all of my things are currently laying in the middle of my living room. Books, gadgets, more books, robots, other random things... all of my possessions on the floor in front of me. I wondered about this, how many people could put all the things they own in the living room of a small one bedroom apartment, without it being piled to the ceiling? What the heck could I even get rid of?

Scratching my head, I turned my focus on things that I needed... dishes, eating utensils, glasses, couch, bookcases, bed... the list continued. Having worked for a non-profit environmental group I wanted to do this right, no toxic stuff in my home, keep low environmental impact, that sort of thing.

I would start with the easy stuff... Or so I thought.
