I will be heading into Portland mid afternoon today (Sunday). I would love to meet and catch with the drupalers I often interact with (but have never met)!

Success?

I built a Drupal 7 site recently that uses commerce. On each product page is a registration form (think ubercarts+events). I was able to get all working very well, rigorously tested. First let me describe my setup, in case it helps someone else.

As you can see from my site (right columns) I am an avid fairtax supporter. This week I read an interesting presentation of the effective fairtax rate, which I thought was compelling and would be supported by most Americans.

While writing a custom module with it's own content type, I needed to add a menu_local_task to node/x/edit path AND for it to only show up when editing the custom content type. Adding a menu local task is easy, but hiding it from other content types proved fruitless. And, it seems many others had similar needs and problems.

We have a new member in our family, Florzinha (Little flower), a seven week old rabbit.

Went to move a site from a shared environment to less shared :) and came against this issue.

If you have been listening to the news lately I'm sure you have heard that our taxes are going to go up, on the state level and federal level.

If you want to fax multiple pages to a fax machine with Microsoft's Fax Console,  here is how you do it.

A friend forwarded me an email the other day. I normally don't read forwards but this one I did. My question to the community (the wolrd wide web :-]): Is this story based on a true story? I am curious to know.

Last month Nancy Pelosi brought up "tax reform" and the idea of a National Sales Tax. That is the second or third time this year she has brought it up. Not to mention President Obama, he brought it up early in the year.

I am pleased to hear that some democrat congress members are beginning  to use sound logic when mulling over the

As you can tell by my blog I am a FairTax supporter.

Here is the fax I sent today to our representatives. If you haven't started reading the Health Care Reform bill (HR 3200), you should. This is the only way we can question the legislation and ask our representatives what different parts of the bill mean and why they support it. I tried to remain professional and party neutral throughout the questions. The questions are real and should not depend on which party I support.

I know you can't believe everything you hear in the media, but from the past 8 months history of bailouts, stimuluses etc, many congress members admitted they didn't read those bills. Let's keep them honest this time around. If they need more time, plead with the Whitehouse and ask President Obama to grant more time to for the Congress to read the entire bill before voting.

I have spent some time trying to find a complete list of phone numbers, fax, and emails to contact any or all of our US Representatives and Senators. With all the congress related websites, I am surprised no one has compiled such a list.
