In Chicago for Drupalcon

Well I hope you read Ptarmi Bob’s post on traveling to Chicago. We are going for a Web Development  Conference called Drupalcon.

I would like to blog abtout the sessions and what I learn while in the conference, but may do that on With Media, or even possibly the Motion Media Blog. As for all the fun adventures we go on, I think I’ll do that here.

Just so you know, there may be a couple mouth drooling posts on Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, cause I’m not going to miss the opportunity to blog about them.

Kyle in the plane

By the way, I’m currently in the plane writing this because there is no in flight movie. Also if anyone has any recommendations for things to do in Chicago let me know in the comments.

On the road to Edmonton

This morning we left Fort St John on our way to Edmonton. This is our first leg of the Drupalcon Trip with the Motion Media team.

It is about an 8 hour drive to Edmonton and then tomorrow morning we fly directly to Chicago.

The picture makes it look like I’m the one driving, but I’m not I’m a passenger. We’ll see you in Edmonton.

Kitchen table Jeep thought.

I am sitting at the table in our kitchen eating breakfast. I just started the company vehicle and started to think about my Jeep. It is currently in the shop getting looked at, as you know. I then started to think about how the timing couldn’t have been better for it to break a line of some sort.

It already needed to go in due to a minor fuel issue, I think, but of course I procrastinate because I don’t have a lot of money and I wouldn’t be without a vehicle. So now having it break a fluid line rendering it undrivable and me leaving town in a 2 day the perfect time to go into the shop is here. I wont need it while away so they can have it for a full week.

The one down fall though, is of course money. As I will be going away I will not be working and I will most likely be spending a little more. Such is life though.

Jeep is in the shop!

Yesterday my Jeep decided spit out a bunch of fluid while I was waiting for it to warm up. Sadly I didn’t know what it was. First thought was Tranny Fluid cause it was orange, but then I remembered that Tranny Fluid is red, and I even check it. I then thought it was oil for some reason, don’t know why.

Then this morning I scheduled it to go into a local mechanic shop and I thought I would have to get it towed there. Of course me being me I decided I would “try” to drive it there as it is only a block or two away. When I fired it up, it made its noise it made the day before, but as I backed out I realized that the steering wheel was solid, which then brought me to the idea that it was a Power-Steering line I broke, which made sense.

HDR Testing

I can not be certain that, that is the problem, but I am hoping that it is the problem. It is also getting checked out for a RMP issue it seems to have when driving and idling.

I want to be the Ultimate BMW Blogger

Gather the tropes I need your help. I found this contest online, where you enter to be a BMW Blogger. So I enter, obviously. I love blogging, I am so deadly passionate about, that I probably write about anything. There is one other thing I am passionate about though, which is driving. Driving anything. Naturally, I think, I am a fit for this job.

BMW Post

The idea is I ask my friends offline and on to vote for my story about why I should be the BMW Blogger. I suppose that is what I am doing.

It seems kind of selfish to ask you all to vote but yet here I am. I hope you see it in you to vote for me. At the current moment the top person has thousands of votes, so i don’t know what my chances are but it is worth a shot.
