These directions worked for a Mac OS X computer.

On the home computer:

ssh-keygen -t dsa

Accept the defaults. Despite the term pass-phrase, as opposed to password, if you choose to use one, keep your passphrase short.

cd /Users/you/.ssh

Drupal is written in PHP. A lot of things (not everything) in Drupal is a "node". So from your perspective Drupal can handle the creation of content (as nodes) of any types and also the management of users logging in. Your module would create the ability for people to do something to content (a ratings module would be a good place to find an example of this), and also create user-specific pages listing the recommendations of people they subscribe to. I don't know of an example of how to extend users (to add "subscribe to this user" buttons) but I'm sure you (specifically you!) can do it.

(I know, this isn't actually Linux sysadmin but it's on the same category of nerdiness from my perspective.)

After searching the world wide web for:

• irc how do you refer to yourself
• irc call by username
• irc use username

Finally found all the IRC answers, from tomf__ on (where else?) Drupal.org:

How to effectively use IRC

Specifically, referring to oneself should be used only for actions, and is done thusly:

You precede the action with /me

Dan showed a new recruit how to do a port to Drupal the Agaric way.

Some points to note:

<

ul>

(Changing the options on an avatar gallery page created from user's profile pictures with Views Bonus Pack's grid view. The instructions and options here are for Drupal 4.7 but should apply equally to Drupal 5.)

Administer > Views

Click "edit" next to member_gallery

Scroll down to "Arguments" and click to expand.

Under "Argument Handling Code" change:

$view->gridcount = 3;

to:

$view->gridcount = 5;

Scroll all the way down and press the "Save" button.

Click on member_gallery to have a look at your view.

Adding pictures to an Agaric site with an image gallery can be done photograph by photograph, like any other content, by categorizing it into a picture gallery vocabulary (category).

However, for people who have an expensive digital camera and have discovered that it frees them from 24 or 36 pictures at a time by a factor of 10 to 100, Drupal sites made by Agaric (OK, any Drupal site with image module) can take mass upload and import of photos (or any digital image).

Agaric is experimenting with the Drupal Banner module, and as some of it is less than intuitive, we thought we'd document some of it here.

This will be Agaric Design's live experiment with working on content with an eye toward key words. This is for the site Driscoll Associates Modular Homes.

First step was just adding nodewords, to throw some of the below on the site.  (Another thing adding the nodewords module did was provide meta tags for geolocation so Driscoll Modular Homes now shows up on lists of places near Natick and Framingham, at least.)

[These were asked by a friend of ours who suggested our services to an organization where she was a long-time volunteer.]

So, if you were to remake the site, these are my questions:

<

Do you, for some strange reason, want secondary links to show up under your primary links when users are at your front, home page?

After a bit of frustration ourselves, here is Agaric Design Collective's very short guide to getting secondary links to show up when you are at your front page menu item.

Change your menu declaration for "Home" (or whatever you call it) from <front> to whatever you actually have <front> set to in your site settings, such as node/1.

That's it, everything will work now, move along, nothing more to see...
