Drupal
I'm a little late in posting, but I wanted to let everybody know the results of our post-Drupalcamp SC survey. Overall, I think it was a very good camp. 23 out of 24 respondents said the overall value was Very Good or Excellent, so that makes me happy.
Most of the comments in the survey were positive. There was one person who seemed unhappy about every aspect of the camp, and of course there was some constructive criticism. The website was down a lot in the days before and day of the conference, and as a result we didn't have a good list of attendees to "check off" as they arrived. Next year we will have a better website, for sure!

Thanks again to all those who helped out with the camp and all those who attended, and especially those who gave us some feedback.
I had the pleasure this past week of attending the Great Wide Open conference in Atlanta. Many thanks to Todd Lewis and the folks at IT-oLogy for inviting me to serve as a volunteer at the conference. I met a number of really talented and in some cases world-renowned developers.
I spent most of my time at the registration desk, but found time to get away and see several sessions. Of course I was most interested in those related to Drupal. In particular, I was thrilled to hear Jason Smith of MediaCurrent talk about the massive project to replace Weather.com with a Drupal site. I expect that site to be something really special and something the Drupal community can be proud of.
So it turns out jquery is easy. I can't believe I have gone this long as a Drupal themer and not bothered to try jquery. I saw all these $ and () and just figured it would be complicated.
Well I been messing around on jsfiddle.net, making some pretty interesting things - ex. http://jsfiddle.net/tesliker/L9uPm/3/ , but then I turned my sights back to integrating this with Drupal. This is where I had some trouble. Besides the fact I always forget to run cron after adding new JS and CSS stylesheets, it turns out you have to wrap your jquery in a special wrapper so that the $ variable does not confuse Drupal. Anyways, here is what I ended up doing to get this up and running correctly.
I added my custom module.
I named it custom_js, and added custom_js.info with the following code:
name = Custom JS
description = Add your custom Javascript files here.
package = Custom Modules
core = 7.x
I then added a custom_js.module file with the following code:
