Example use of Kickstarter to fund a book (by Young Voices Nation)

YOUNG VOICES NATION: BOOK PROJECT

LAST CHANCE TO TAKE PART

LAST CHANCE TO:

- Get your name in as a backer
- Get a signed copy of the book
- Receive a Chong Kim original art piece

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY

A month ago I didn't know if the YVN: Book Project funding would be successful. I wasn’t even sure if using Kickstarter would work. But thanks to your overwhelmingly generous support I was proven wrong, and am now more inspired than ever.

If you've been on the fence about supporting, now's your chance.

Getting rid of modules entirely, with update function for cleanup

When deleting modules in code you can clean up after the fact, esp. for modules that don't clean up after themselves well enough on uninstall.

git rm -r sites/all/modules/contrib/hashcash

git rm -r sites/all/modules/contrib/imageapi

To your update module, we can add:

Global redirect - not in use, line cut from book

in

"You can see this in action by going to definitiveDrupal.org/node/23 directly; you will be redirected to the aliased path, definitiveDrupal.org/point/official-release-drupal-2-0."

... except that Global Redirect is disabled - interfering with something i should remember - on that site rightnow, so this line was removed from the book

Global redirect is nice, esp. with short urls in use. Hmm.

Using PostgreSQL (psql) - getting past the immediate authentication failure

How in the world aren't there very clear instructions for getting started with PostgreSQL after apt-get install postgresql?

UPDATE: Doing this the right way

Read the documentation that Debian (and so Ubuntu) provide, typically in /usr/share/doc/<package-name>

The documentation we need can be read with:
vi /usr/share/doc/postgresql-8.4/README.Debian.gz

2. Get a shell for the database superuser 'postgres'. If your system
has an active root user, use su:

Installing Chiliproject on Ubuntu 10.10

[After testing this out, we chose to use the package-managed redmine for now]

Installing Chiliproject with PostgreSQL on Ubuntu 10.10.

Following the instructions on Installation on Ubuntu wiki.

sudo mkdir -p /srv/www/chiliproject
sudo adduser --system --home /srv/www/chiliproject --group --shell /bin/sh --disabled-login chiliproject

Letter to Digital Credit Union

[DRAFT]

Dear Person With The Highest Position at DCU,

Beginning in the first week of May i began contacting Digital Credit Union to be sure joining would meet the needs of my business. The telephone support was not very good, and in fact the people i spoke to encouraged me to go into a branch (after learning i had already read the relevant parts of the web site.

First i put all four Principals on the account, only to learn we would need photocopies of their IDs when i went in.
