Jag utför konsultuppdrag med Drupal, Mac OS X och Linux-servrar. Min bas är i Sverige och jag arbetar via tjänsteföretaget Combonetwork development. Huvuddelen av mina uppdrag är som Drupal-utvecklare och Drupal-arkitekt.


Drupal

DrupliconDrupal AssociationDrupal is an open source content management platform. Equipped with a powerful blend of features, Drupal can support a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites.

I have has experience with various CMS systems since 2000 and with Drupal since 2004. The last four years I have worked almost exclusively as a Drupal developer and architect. Here follows a selection of Drupal related services that I can offer my clients:

  • Architect a Drupal web site.
  • Building modern Drupal sites with CCK, Views, Panels and Imagecache etc.
  • Development of new modules and custom extensions to existing modules.
  • Drupal seminars, learn how to build themes, develop modules and more.
  • Set up development and deployment with a versioning system like Bazaar.
  • Theme development using PHPTemplate with validated css and xhtml code.
  • Automated backup of files and databas.

I am not a designer but can take a design and implement is as a Drupal Theme. I know CSS well, including how to code around Internet Explorer bugs in a way that don’t mess up things for modern browsers.

I prefer function and accessibility before whizz bang effects. A nice sprinkle of jQuery magic, like with the thickbox module when function meets nice effects, is however very much liked.

I’m a strong believer in using Drupal Coding standards and Writing secure code.

Mac OS X

Mac OS X Snow LeopardMac OS X from Apple is what I run on my personal computer. It’s just better than anything else out there in my opinion. iLife plus iWork application and a Unix terminal in the same OS, simply wonderful!

I help customers buy computers and software. Instruct them how to best utilize the computer for their work and private life. Give hints about new services and software that I think they can find useful and fun.

Mac OS X works so well that I use very little time for “normal” computer support. This means I can spend time on things like:

  • Harass people to get serious with their backup systems, sooner or later they will thank me.
  • Finding applications and solutions the suit my customers needs.
  • Explain why you should always use SSL to connect to your mail server.
  • Trying to convince everyone to start use RSS.

If I was not using Mac OS X I would go for Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux. Linux on the desktop has come a long way and the Gnome environment you get with Ubuntu is really good.

Linux servers

Debian GNU/LinuxDebian GNU/Linux is what I prefer to use for servers, xdeb.net as well as combonet.se is running Debian. It defines solid and stable.

I have experience with installation, configuration and optimization of LAMP servers for small and medium sites (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP).

I mainly use VPS solutions, they are good value for the money and very flexible. Customers with small demands use shared hosting and customers with big demands normally have there own servers that I help configure.
