The next Cork Meetup is Wednesday the 27th of February in the Western Gateway building in UCC from 7pm to 9pm. We're having the meet-up in room WGB_G01 on the ground floor.
If there is a Drupal topic you would like to discuss, post some details so we can have a think about it & any similar prob we had (this really does pick up peoples interest so give it a try!), feel free to come along on the night and have a chat about it.
This month I thought we'd try something different, I'm putting together a prototype website for The Association of Research Contractors to show them the benefits of Web 2.0 etc. So I'll bring along a wire frame outlining their needs/desires and we could have a discussion on how to best implement them in Drupal!
If you have any thoughts or notions, post away.
See you there,
Ruairi

Cross-device websites
Recently I had to create a website that worked on different devices – desktop, tablets and smartphones. I didn’t use responsive design as I only looked into it after I designed a desktop and mobile version. Instead I created a ‘large screen’ theme for desktop and tablets and ‘small screen’ theme for smartphones, both sitting on top of a base theme that contained common stuff. I then used a modified version of Mobile Theme module to serve the correct theme. Doing stuff on the server-side has certain advantages over client-side responsive design though responsive design might be quicker than creating 2 themes. I wonder how other people approach the cross-device issue.
Twitter module
We talked briefly about Twitter modules yesterday. This looks like a good one. Unsurprisingly, it's called Twitter!

The maintainer was interviewed in a Lullabot podcast recently:
