Change comment authorname and date in Drupal

In Drupal, you can set the user (author) and date of a comment to something other than yourself and that moment, if you have administer comments permission– just not while posting.

If you click the edit link for the comment after posting, there will be a collapsed "Administration" section where you can change the username and posting timestamp, just like you can for a node.

Any call for allowing this on posting as well?

Overriding Fivestar star images with just CSS (and, well, graphics)

Copy this (from fivestar's CSS) into your theme's styles.css file, and change the background url to match your own graphic file:

div.fivestar-widget-static .star {
  float: left;
  width: 17px;
  height: 15px;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-indent: -999em;
  background: url(widgets/default/star.gif) no-repeat 0 0px;
}

Make iTunes use a better music database than CDDB

Simple solution from
http://hybridvigor.blogspot.com/2006/06/dont-support-riaa-use-freedb-instead.html

That page also go over why CDDB is evil, and you should never contribute your labor (typing in songs) to the freeloading commercial in-bed-with-the-RIAA company.

I didn't know all that, I just knew it stopped finding lots of tracks and CDs it ought to be able to find!

Drupal or Wordpress? Making a quick simple site

E-mail subject: Drupal or Wordpress?

Hey friend,

How is things?

So, my school has asked me to design a site for them. How do I use wordpress or drupal to do so? They can't pay me much or I'd just pay you to do it! They have hosting and everything, so I just need to create a little mini site to link off of their big one ... It is an aftercare program I work for... and l need to just create a number of pages for it. I would love to make a mock up today.

Thanks for any advice you might be able to offer,
Ian

Using Subversion's "include" functionality– the svn:externals property

DEPRECATED: Use Piston

In this case we're using svn externals to have a module in two places in a repository, but of course it works just as well for a truly external repository.
