javascript

About

My name is Alan Burke I'm a Drupal developer and themer currently working for Proactive Design and Marketing in Galway.

I've been using Drupal since late 2005, first using version 4.6 to get my first iteration of www.athenryac.com online. This project brought me back into the website development field, after wandering away to become a Network Adminstrator and PC technician.

Before joining Proactive I worked at CompuSquad as a techie, before getting back into website development at the end of my time there.

I spent 3 years in Australia, most of it working at the University of Queensland, picking up my Masters in Ecommerce along the way. My graduation dovetailed nicely with the dot-com bubble bursting, so that's how I ended up as a network administrator for a while.

And Back again...

Well, the Geo module looks pretty comprehensive, but it's not quite ready, and I'm not quite ready to tackle it. I went back to the cck_latlon module for now.

Change of tack

When I started down this road, I did a bit of research on Drupal.org modules list to get the correct module to store the latitude and longtitude.

The first steps

Well, first things first.
You need some content.

My plan is take the article as 24ways.org on Unobtrusively Mapping Microformats with jQuery and apply it, somehow to Drupal.

The straw that broke the camel's back

I'm a long time waiting to start a blog.Donncha O' Caoimh looked at me sideways at the first Barcamp I attended in Waterford, when I told him I didn't have one.
