Need some freelance assistance with a few projects...
I've been trying to post the following on the DUG-TO mailing list, but for some reason I don't seem to be able to post there any more, even though I could in the past....
Anyway: the Drupal projects I'm working on seem to be getting more complex these days, and I'm finding that with some of them I can't do it all on my own, and need some outside assistance, particularly from someone with more experience on the module development side of things.

Issues after changing drives on Wampserver
I had to rescue a site from one failing drive to another months ago and it was pretty much left untouched until recently when I finally got time to work on it again.
Getting this every time I start up wamp "PHP Startup: unable to load dynamic library ' (wrong drive letter here to php_gd2.dll)" along with other php dlls. I've changed httpd.conf, wampmanger.conf at least from memory, seems like there are some other lingering conf files I'd have to hit. Anyone know what those might be and where to find them?

CiviCRM Help: Associate CiviCRM Events with Drupal Nodes
I'm putting together my first CiviCRM 3/Drupal 6 install, and I've run into a bit of a wall.
I have an content type of an Artistic Work, and I would like to sell tickets to them with CiviEvents. There will be multiple events of this Artistic work, so I would like to associate each Event created with the Artistic Work. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to edit the Event fields, or pull in a node reference for the Artistic Work.
I've looked at the CiviNode module, which seems like it might be able to do this, but alas, it's not for Drupal 6.
