March Portland User Group Meetup
We've had some really great themed meetups recently, but sometimes that can get a bit monolithic and requires quite a bit of preparation from presenters. This month we're bringing back the Lightning Presentation format!
Lightning presentations are quick 5 minute demos or how-tos. Show everyone what you've been working on. Share a tip or trick you just learned. Get feedback on a challenge you're working to resolve.
If you'd like to give a Lightning presentation, leave a comment below.

Creating an Encrypted Field module
I'd like to store data securely in the database of my site which is a D6 based OpenAtrium install. To this end, I prettymuch just grabbed the text module from CCK (since I'm not releasing this as my own module) and then enabled the Encrypt module and added "encrypt()" and "decrypt()" around what I thought were the appropriate variables.
I have no issue with decrypting the data, but encrypting it seems to be a bit of a battle.

Front-end meetup - March 2013
NOTE: Different location this month. We're trying out Squishymedia's headquarters as a meetup spot.
Squishymedia is at 116 NE 6th Ave (corner of 6th and Couch) a block north of Ron Toms, 3rd floor. Street parking is available and normally easy; also plenty of bus lines run Burnside, Couch, Grand, MLK.
There is a call box down at the front door and once the first person arrives we'll probably send someone down to the door and just keep a Squishyer posted there.
The topic this month will be web design trends, historically as well as currently.

Presentation slides from PDX DUG 3/13/13
Hey everyone,
There were a good amount of people who were interested in being able to access my presentation after the lightning talks, so I figured I'd post it up to share. I apologize in advance for any errors in there, I completed this in between other major tasks at my day job and then had to go back to being a super hero afterwards.

DrupalCon Couch Surfing Thread
Hey all! In the likely event of my attendance at DrupaCon this year, I would really like to avoid hotel expenditures. It seems frivolous to me, especially when there's such a large community of people I could reach out to and possibly find a place to lay my head between days.
Maybe others would be interested in trying this, too, so here's a thread travelers and potential hosts can post requests and availability to.
About me: from Berkeley, I recently moved to DC to work for Acquia on a high-profile project. I'm clean, courteous, and happy to buy beer and/or cook (if time permits).
