Web Design and Development. Graphic Design and Retouching.

There's a module for that...
devel has a setting at admin/settings/devel to switch Drupal mail to log emails instead of sending them out.
Set "SMTP library" to "Log only".
Puts useful debug data into $messages, too.

The UK's first DrupalCamp will take place at the BBC in Manchester, June 13th-14th.
The plan is for a wide range of talks and workshops for everyone from Drupal newbies to Drupal ninjas. Sign up for free at http://drupalcampuk.eventbrite.com/

Brief but interesting interview with Dries Buytaert, about Drupal's history, plans for its future and Acquia's role.

Quick reminder: Drupal NWUK user group is meeting on Wednesday at the MDDA. Whether you know Drupal inside-out or would just like to know what it's all about, come along (if you're going to Leeds GeekUp you'll just have to be in two places at once: we'll try to avoid clashes in future).

It's on the shelves! http://drupal.org/drupal-6.0
Chris and I will run through the new features at the Drupal user group next week.

Chris and I have sorted the time and place for our Drupal training course in Manchester: Wednesday 9th April at the MDDA.

Pop to the menusandblocks website for more info, or give one of us a call if you've got any questions!

The menu system in Drupal 6 has been completely rewritten, but most of the changes are under the hood.

Download it. Find bugs. Let them know.
As the release notes point out, Views 2 is still a couple of weeks off at least, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun trying out all the other goodies in 6.
