Installing NetBeans 7 on Ubuntu 11.10

Install the prerequisites via the command line:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre

Note: This will take a while and you will have to respond yes ("y") to the questions.

Then download Netbeans from their site and run the installer. We use the PHP only version.

Note: the installer will probably be located in /home/[username]/Downloads. To run you may need to cd to the Downloads directory, change the permissions using the chmod command, and then run with "./[installer_name]".

JQuery Mobile

Started with a theme. Eventually figured out i had to create a module, also.

var jqm = JQuery.noConflict

Blazing Fast Design Tips

Bringing the Sexy back to CSS: Sass, SCSS, Compass

The maintenance of this building is pretty costly.

Raphael – Introduction by

Raphael: vector graphics.

Browser support for everything from IE6 (really) to Android (post Honeycomb).

20kb gzipped Javascript.

Completely different thing from HTML5 <canvas>.

Raphael has a low z-index, other things will appear in front of it, by default.

Can select by ID.

Can even use the JQuery selector.

Fonts

Can get fonts with Cufon. [Hmm. I think i'd avoid putting any fonts in here, a drawing program, and avoid Cufon in favor of @fontface anyway.)

Create a nodequeue programatically

In your hook_install() and/or hook_update_N() implementation, this sort of code will create a new nodequeue (if it already exists, you'll only get database errors, though this could be worked around with a bit more code if for some reason you couldn't rely on what the site you are updating has or not).

Quickly find a Drupal variable to embed in code

If Features and Strongarm are installed, you can use them to get the variable name even if you won't be overriding the variable in the Strongarm style.

drush fe | grep variable

The above shows all variables.

Alternatively, use the below to search for any fragment of the variable name you think you remember.

drush fe | grep keyword

Gotcha: The variable will only be listed if you have saved it in the user interface!

Presentations powered by Drupal

I think i'm done looking for PowerPoint or Keynote-like presentation software, even for Linux.

If not using a Prezi.com-style presentation, why not immediately make the presentation in HTML?

Grayside's Presentation module is the way to go.

Works with s5 and Slippy, and other presentation libraries.

Alternatively there's also the S5 module.

Unsubscribe page options

Finally a site that gets the "unsubscribe" link right-- providing the opportunity to change the e-mail address instead, or change settings. The "Stay On Mailing List" button at the top is a bit obnoxious, and redundant with the "Don't adjust my subscription" option a little farther down, but other than that, this is a model unsubscribe / e-mail preferences page.
