Wrap-up of the weekend

It's tuesday and I'm still a bit tired from the weekend. I came home late on friday evening after a day in Holland for a Dutch Drupal conference. Especially Yweyn's presentation about oss licences, with a focus on the differences between gpl2 and 3, was extremely interesting. One hour was not enough in my opinion, so I guess we'll have to ask him again one day.

On saturday, I had a birthday party together with 4 other friends. It was way cool to see some old friends again having a fun night. Some things I learned:

Everybody knows the cat Garfield from the comic, they even made (horrible) movies about him. But what happens if we leave garfield out of the comic ? Quote from the site: the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life. Especially this one is hilarious: http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/post/29944829

Drupal on lighttpd with clean urls made easy

It took me some months to create the perfect configuration for a Drupal site with a lot modules but I think I finally found it.
