So, DrupalCon is now over. I’m sitting here in the shuttle bus to Budapest with Dries, Webchick, Addison Berry, Tiburon and Drew. It’s been an exciting week for me, so many new friends and so much new knowledge.

Of all the 503 participants, there were only a precious few I had met in real life before, so it was all a bit daunting, but now I’m really glad I went.

It’s hard to find words for how great I think it has been. Meeting so many talented and friendly people has been inspiring. There is something special about the Druapl community.

I recently had the pleasure of a client at work that wanted pagination for his online newspaper-thing, and so I had the opportunity to think a bit about pagination on the web in general, and why it, in many cases, is a bad idea.

Now, this is the good pagination. The kind of pagination (Ajax or not) that saves my browser from having to load all the 538 comments on an interesting piece of news on Digg.
