note

The most fun lesson learned– passing in a pure integer to the $block['content'] in the implementation of hook_block_view causes an unsupported operand error so deep in the block rendering system the stack trace doesn't even know where it came from.

<?php
/**
 * Implements hook_block_info().
 */
function dgd7glue_block_info() {
  $blocks = array();
  $blocks['twoplustwo'] = array(
    'info' => t('Two plus two.'),
  );
  return $blocks;
}

Wow... just wow... this looks to be the decentralized infrastructure that People Who Give a Damn / Visions Unite needs to match its decentralizing of power!

Unhosted is a project for strengthening free software against hosted software. With our protocol, a website is only source code. Dynamic data is encrypted and decentralised, to per-user storage nodes. This benefits free software, as well as scalability, robustness, and online privacy.

A Drupal developer asked outright what people thought of attempts to monetize. I responded to icanlocalize's blog:

For-pay support is definitely a model with promise and worth trying. Try to avoid keeping key pieces online and proprietary though; that i think is bad for the ecosystem.

in other news, some of our sites have been hit with a constant barrage of "?page=528&size=node550" tacked onto various urls, esp. images. It seems so purposeless thought it might be a smokescreen for an attack like POST /comment/reply/50/370 that he also sees.

Um, so yeah. Looking at the actual page showed that it was the unprotected anonymous comments, around 140,000 of them, that eventually started hurting our server...

Add more design experts of different viewpoints, different genders and different races, and you're going to get products that are much better in terms of meeting the needs of a broader number of people.

The goal is to use the book-variable.tpl.php (exactly like the book-variable.tpl.php is used, including how it gets overridden by themes) but without its preprocess function. Here's one fallback approach that should work, but doesn't, due to seeming weirdness in Drupal:

minimal has no optional modules enabled nor any content types. Nor is the administrator role set up for you.

master-slave replication

any database that PHP can support, which includes Oracle and MSSQL (Microsoft)

Drupal requires PHP 5.2.4 or later
PHP 4 is dead.

User 1 is still special

When attempting to use, on a newly set up Ubuntu environment, the Vlad the Deployer scripts that Stefan set up for Agaric, i got this error:

undefined method `set' for main:Object

Turned out the need to install vlad (a rubygem) was properly documented on Deploying the Agaric Way already, and now has been added to our Installing Drubuntu document (which should probably be renamed installing Drubuntu the Agaric way...)
