A guide to what's important for startups
Ever seen something funny and wondered what the business lesson was in it? I do all the time, so I thought I would throw together a collection of profound (and funnny) pictures that will help you succeed in your business, whatever it may be.
Included in this picture is invaluable advice like:
- "Seize opportunities that come your way, but beware of those that appear too good to be true."
- "Sometimes you make mistakes. What's important is how you recover."
- "Who people 'think' you know is important in business."
Enjoy!

PHP and Views customizations for Drupal startup
Doing some heavy Views and PHP customizations for an SA startup called ZAPlayGround (not yet launched). Just worked out that Views won't pick up taxonomy terms from URL (path) aliases in organic group contextual block.
Provided a PHP default argument script to manually generate the path alias from the NID.
"It's working! Now to clone the view and away we go."
