Job Title: Drupal Expert - Contract Work Date Posted: 2009-05-20 Location: St. Paul State: MN Country: USA Description: Hello, Looking for a quick proposal. We'd like to start the process of moving our 4 sites to Drupal and we're looking around for the right consultant/developer/agency to help us get there.

We're looking for someone to take our design, apply the theme and configure Drupal to allow for additional sites in the future. Please allow for few hours of on-site training (if possible) of Drupal and collaboration with our designer and IT guy.

Apparently, the public access I use hates tinypic (completely and utterly denied)... and imagehost just gave my work the axe What a bummer!On a positive note, however, photobucket completely revamped their site, which I hadn't been aware of. I'm actually rather impressed... now to see if they've stepped up to the hosting plate, as well! I have created an account for my alias and will hopefully be able to fix the broken images very soon!

Welcome Drumknot/Cian! Love the name, but I can't say I've read Terry Pratchett before. Is he/she a science fiction & fantasy author? If not, then that'd be why I don't know him/her (I'm very particular to the genre). If he/she is, however, I'll chalk it up to being obsessed with Elizabeth Haydon and Neal Stephenson as of late You are from where I wish I was ... Seriously, I have an obsession with Ireland and its lore... but I am woefully grounded in the country of my birth for the foreseeable future. Anyhow! I am a mother of a 2 year old daughter, so I completely understand where you are coming from on the protective issue. I've been there, seen that (and done a bit more ) when it comes to the internet, and even struggled to master an addiction to it for many years (which I can say that I finally managed to succeed at!). I've also experienced my share of predatory scares, but I look at it now as an extremely good experience for helping me prevent my daughter from going through the same. I don't believe in restricting her from learning for herself, mind you, but being able to educate her on what to expect is extremely important to me. I would like to offer my various talents in art (traditional & graphic), writing, web coding and other general knowledge, and it shall remain at your behest for whatever you may need! Welcome to the community; you'll find that there is a wealth of wonderful people lurking in the shadows, and all of them willing to assist however they possibly may! I see that my darling Tenshi has already taken care of showing you the most necessary links for getting started. Somehow, I recognize that particular layout of links... It's all good, though! :XD: So congratulations on your first forum post, and I hope to see more soon! Don't forget to check out the shoutbox. I'm generally lurking there between 8 am and 12 pm PST (GMT -8) and others frequently peek in throughout the day. You've met Tenshi. Some other friends, and/or otherwise generally awesome individuals to keep an eye out for are: SaintMichael, jlhaslip, rayzoredge, Baniboy, kimochitim, rvalkass, k_nitin_r, andreip and AshBash Those are the ones I've personally met thusfar, but there are many others, too! So, have fun and I hope to see you around soon!

Greetings, Sean! *double checks* ... Am I really the first to reply to this introduction? That's unusual, but don't take it to heart. The people around here are truly in a league of their own when it comes to quality interaction. Please take some time to visit the following links and learn more about the Trap and what it has to offer! So you are mainly a blogger? Maybe you can lend me some tips... my writing skills are strictly traditional (storywriting, poetry, etc.), but I've been interested in learning more about that. I am also an artist (traditional & graphic), and I enjoy dabbling with raw code (HTML/CSS). My goal here is to create an online portfolio/resume and then use that to kickstart a potential business opportunity doing commissions for others (at least until I can get my foot in the door with game art & design :XD:). I am also involved in the as-yet-nebulous formation of a Freelancer's Union, which is an idea that Kimochitim broached to create a literally-worldwide network of talent and teamwork.

I hadn't realized that tinypic was a sister site to photobucket. Hmm, I will have to look into that further, for certain. Thank you very much for the recommendation, Len. I also didn't know about the hidden file size limit (and I'm very glad I hadn't attempted to upload something of a greater size). I appreciate your input!

Thanks so much, Tenshi! Sorry it took me a while to reply (I forgot you'd commented ). The third and the fourth image are composites of 2 existing pieces I found online, so don't give me too much credit! Those were created with just layers and blended opacities and filter effects. I love seeing what I can do with others' art as much as I do mine, because it opens up whole other worlds of possibilities that I wouldn't have been able to fabricate entirely on my own.

Yahr! The last shooter game I ever played was the original MDK... so I have no understanding of CS:S. Nonetheless, I find this sig simple and clean, but intense (in a good way!). That particular shade of blackish-blue is a remarkable compliment to the battle-clad militant. I love how you layed-over the two perspectives of the shooter... fantastic. The perspective arrangement creates a marginal depth; subtle but an unmistakable distinction between fore- and background.

Looks like I'll have make do with http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ until I get past the brainstorming stage and am ready to start working on my website. Ah well. Xisto/Trap is too awesome to let this be more than a minor discouragement. Forward, ho!

*scrubs at the tip of her nose with a grim expression and a small sigh*

Weak english? Hardly! You've a decent grasp of grammar from what I can see - better than a fair percentage of American-English natives, I'd say Welcome to the Trap, Syaoran/Jiew/Jeff! If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to prod you to tell us a bit more about yourself. What are your main interests & reasons for joining the Trap? Personally, I'm here to build an online portfolio, resume and eventually build my own business. I am a single mother of a darling 2 year old, I know HTML/CSS, and I am an artist & writer with an adoration for Linux! Anyhow, here are some links to get you well on your own way! Looking forward to seeing you around! Take care!

Positive, darling. That's relevant crops from three screencaps - the activation link error, my original, activation email and the error message from ImageFilez themselves. And they still haven't replied to my second inquiry for assistance :\ Oh, and I have a total of three "password recovery" emails from them still sitting in my inbox. I was a bit click-happy with that option... no luck.

So that's what this is... this is an amazing idea. I definitely have to look into this more... not necessarily for the Trap (I'm very happy with the credit I already earn here), but for when I finally decide to purchase my plan and get started. I'm still going to be in the brainstorming stage for a while... but this is definitely something I have to seriously consider!

Welcome to the Trap, Inverse! What a lovely array of skills and experience that you've collected for yourself. I never could bring myself to study to be an accountant, either... even though I enjoy math in other regards. You have my sympathy and admiration for sticking with it as long as you have! And I doubt you could offend anyone here... and, as for the accountants, since it takes a very specially-talented type of person to truly enjoy accounting, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Someone who has the gumption and perseverance to follow that path in life is bound to have a pretty thick skin! You know, with your variety of talents, you might be interested in an idea that's been broached here recently (and which I am a part of): a freelancer's union (think worldwide, literally-human network ). Please send a private message to kimochitim if you'd like more information! And, I shall leave you with a number of helpful links to get you started! Some of them, you may have read already... but I guarantee not all! So enjoy the literature and I look forward to seeing you around! Take care!

What a marvelous idea, Tenshi-darling! I fully concur with this idea, even though I have yet to come across any dead domains/subdomains myself. Mind you, for all I know, this might all be part of OpaQue's "clockwork orange," and have been left as they are for any number of wonderfully mad reasons... hmm!

I have tried sent off two contact forms already, actually, with no reply... and I waited a few days after each form was sent off before I allowed myself to feel annoyed. If there was a way I could delete the nebulous account and start over... but then I'm concerned that this whole mess would end up like "the song that never ends..."*twitch... sigh*Thank you for trying to be thoughtful, though

You are very welcome, dear. I still hope this topic gets moved to where it belongs (and I'll be hunting down a mod to help you with that as soon as I can). Best of luck to you, and I'll always be around if you ever need an ear to tug on in the future. Take care.

Argh! GIMP is the superior editor of all! Argh!*hoists pirate hook high so that it glints wickedly in that perfectly-positioned sunbeam...*I love Adobe and have used it for years upon years... but GIMP has my heart. Anything to do with Linux has my heart, though (woe!) I should be so unlucky that I am bereft of its awesomeness for the immediate future.But thank you for the compliments

Aye. Hand-sketched, although I didn't ink this one. I wanted a smoother, blended effect. And I overlaid the coloring as a reduced-opacity group of layers (I was limited to manipulating with a mouse and using Photoshop 7 for this work, which was the main motivation behind the time restrictions I mentioned before). When I have my full setup (CS2 + Wacom Intuos 3), then I give myself a lot more room to play and a lot more time to work on things.

I didn't spend as much time on this piece as I normally would. Still, I thought it came out quite well despite the time restrictions I placed upon myself. So, until I figure out what my situation is with ImageFilez, I've hosted this with ImageHost.org: Constructive criticism is loved! -- At the request of Andre, here are some more quick-works by moi :XD:

It's been quite a while since I initially signed up with ImageFilez. However, I have never been able to activate my account with them. The link they sent me always returns a 404 error, and their login refuses to let me proceed.Has anyone had this happen to them? Does anyone have any advice on how I should proceed? I'm quite attached to my username, and I'm not particularly keen on scrapping it and trying to think of another... just to re-register and quite possibly have this happen to me again.*twitch... sigh*

This is the same Longest Journey that was released about 9 or 10 years ago, right? If so, I must express my heartfelt, enthusiastic agreement.Over the years, and all the games I've played, this has remained one of my all time favorites. I found a glitch the first time I played it... at the train station. You can do the puzzles in a particular order that makes it so you can't pick up the item on the tracks. (I think it was something which later affected the electical box, but it's been so long...)There was another story-game that I loved, and played around the same time, too... what was it? Oh yes, Syberia! Another all-time favorite. If you've never heard of it, try to find it and check it out. If you truly love stories and puzzles, especially when combined to create an epic environment, then you will adore this game, as well. The development of the main character is absolutely amazing... turning her from a straightlaced lawyer-esque personality into a passionate, curious, child-like personality who... *end spoiler, wicked grin*

Welcome, Caltator. I have to decline voting on your poll because I do not feel I know enough about you! I hope that will soon be remedied in the near future. Please bear in mind, for your future contributions, that the quality of your posts counts a lot more than the quantity of your posts. Familiarize yourself with the MyCents 3.0 system... it's fantastic! For example, the last time the credit system updated my information, I had earned $8 and 15.74 MyCents in 49 posts... which calculates to about 16.65 cents per post. I like to write long and thorough posts, though! Sir Bash, there, has really done a great job with getting you started. Here are a few more links for your browsing pleasure, however! Take care, and I look forward to seeing what you have to contribute! Take care!

Welcome, Xenogia! I look forward to reading what you have to contribute! Here are some links to get you started! You sound like a very interesting person, and I hope I get the chance to meet you, text-to-text, in the very near future! Please take care
