New Social Media Links for Darrell Ulm

Every so often I try to gather the scattered pieces of my online presence and put them in one place. Between computer science work, Drupal development, research profiles, and the occasional side project, things tend to spread out across the internet. So here they are—some new social media links, plus a quick nod to the rest of the ecosystem where my work tends to live.

New Social Media

Nothing dramatic, just a few updated links:

  • Threads: threads.com/darrell_r_ulm
  • Instagram: instagram.com/darrell_r_ulm
  • LinkTree: a simple hub collecting everything in one place

These are mostly for lighter updates—quick notes, snapshots from projects, and the occasional behind‑the‑scenes look at whatever I’m building or researching.

Where the Technical Work Lives

Most of my long‑form writing and development notes still live on the platforms built for them:

  • WordPress & BlogSpot for software development posts, computer science topics, and Drupal‑related write‑ups
  • GitHub for code, experiments, and the usual open‑source trail of commits
  • Drupal‑related profiles where I track module work, site builds, and community contributions
  • Wix and Weebly for older project sites that still get the occasional update
  • SlideShare for saved presentations
  • SourceForge and Open Hub for legacy software footprints
  • Kaggle for data‑science‑adjacent explorations
  • Gravatar, About.me, Codecademy, Tumblr and others for the usual profile‑style presence

Research & Academic Footprints

The more formal side of my work—papers, citations, and academic indexing—lives in places like:

  • Google Scholar
  • ORCID
  • ResearchGate
  • dblp
  • Web of Science
  • Kent State Selected Papers

These tend to surface the computer‑science research, parallel systems work, and anything tied to publications.

Why Add More Social Media?

Part of working in tech—especially in open‑source communities like Drupal—is staying visible enough that people can find your work, ask questions, or collaborate. Some platforms are great for code, others for research, and some are simply better for quick updates that don’t need a full article.

Threads and Instagram aren’t replacing the technical platforms; they’re just lighter spaces to share progress, ideas, and the occasional non‑technical moment.

Wrapping Up

If you’re following along for Drupal development, computer science topics, or software engineering notes, the long‑form platforms are still the best place to look. But if you want the quick version of what I’m up to, the new social media links above are now part of the mix.

Drupal 10 is launching June 10 2022

Drupal 10 will launch on June 10th, 2022, and looks to be a more ‘refined’ version of Drupal 9. This makes sense, as each Drupal version will be a reasonable upgrade from the previous version rather than the large technological jumps of Drupal 4, 5, 6, 7, and definitely to 8. I have been working with Drupal 8 and, more recently, with Drupal 9, and things are working well.

Some of the main features proposed are CKEditor 5, an improved Layout Builder, and Symfony 5 or 6, which will require PHP version 8!

The main things to consider could be PHP 8 as well as “Modern JavaScript components to replace jQuery UI and some uses of jQuery,” as mentioned in https://www.drupal.org/about/10.

Drupal 8 Migration Tutorials

Starting to compile lots of information about Migrating from Drupal 8 from either Drupal 6 or Drupal 7. Some very good tutorials are available, and I’ll update as needed to post more as I find them.

It’s good to see so much information out there as many sites have already been migrated to Drupal 8.

 

Drupal 7 Configuration Technical-Notes

Listing here Drupal specific configuration notes for remembering and links to instruction pages on Tumblr to separate them from Ubuntu/Linux specific technical notes. Can add tech-notes to this about Drupal and PHP-MySQL related Drupal as I find them.

 

Ubuntu 16.04 Drupal Web Dev Quick Setup Notes

Some notes on Tumblr for web development setup after installing Ubuntu Linux 16.04, mainly for me to remember. The later notes are specific for Drupal and/or a PHP environment.
