Getting Things Done Thoughts and Drupal Module

One recurring thought is how all of this getting-your-life-in-order stuff is just as important, useful, and applicable to a single mother of two as it is to a CEO, or to me.

I keep thinking how glad I am I got this book, even though I haven't done a single thing in it yet.  It's a broader truth: sometimes simply reading someone you agree with can be affirming and useful in a way, and comforting, especially when you're confident you will soon be acting on the principles, advice, or ideas that are so concordant with your own.

Hollow phantom empty blank nodes in Drupal mysteriously unexplained

Now that Agaric has optimized this post for search engines, we have no answers for you. Sorry!

Curious empty phantom node (dated 0 unix time) has appeared in the node display

(No answer)

Blank Node is Created When Previewing.

Also no answer

Fix organic groups e-mails to subscribers to come from actual poster (commenter not original node author)

Filed issue: http://drupal.org/node/193348

Currently under "E-mail settings" in organic groups the options for "Format of From: field:" the tokens available include:

@user_name
@user_mail

This is great for the initial post, but replies to that post have the initial node author's name in e-mail rather than the commenter's name.

What's updating Drupal's cache all the time on this crazy i18n, og, custom site?

Step by step to finding what's wrong.

So after catching a few of the other caches (views, locale) that were running too much for different reasons, we still have a MySQL frenzy on our hands.

The query I see over and over again in Agaric's logs on the WSF2008 site is "INSERT INTO cache (cid, data, created, expire, headers) VALUES ('locale:pt-br', 'a:3757:{s:2\"MB\".....

And "UPDATE cache SET data = 'a:4334:{s:2\"MB\"

By the way, in vi to go to the previous occurrence of a search, to search backwards, it's capital N (shift+N) instead of just n.

JavaScript and Google Maps: notes on resources

The APress book on google maps and AJAX looks like the best reference.

"Hacking Google Maps and Google Earth" is out of date.

Setting up a new Drupal site on Agaric, multiple module directory trouble

Setting up a new site into Agaric's system.

Some standard new site stuff

ben@server:/var/www/drupal-5_3-live/profiles$ sudo svn co file:///srv/svn/agaric/agaric-profiles/agaric_recipes agaric_recipes

[and a bunch of similar checkouts I failed to record]
[Including for the site itself into the sites/ directory]

Note: the agaric installation profile hit an error on a call to a token module function, but seemed to do everything anyway.

Scaling WSF2008

I still think the first thing to try is Boost is the first step to take.

I think it will cache the javascript needed to call and run the maps. And Language switching is done via the URL so that will work with a static HTML-ized site for anonymous users.

However, here's a recent approach to phased scaling with Drupal that makes a good start for WSF. We should stop short of database replication I think.

Agaric wants to turn sidebars on or off on a page by page basis in Drupal

Agaric Design Collective, every third site or so, really wants to be able to just tell a page: you see that sidebar? Don't display it. We don't care if we put blocks in it. We don't care if

Greatest copy shot ever written, coming soon to Agaric

http://alistapart.com/articles/greatestcopyshot

All great copy shots should:

Be five words in length.
Not mention the brand name.
Be declarative.
Be grammatically complete.
Be otherwise standard.
Contain alliteration, metaphor, or rhyme.

GMap sometimes not showing up on a custom front page call

This thread may be related to both our binary log clogging by cache menu and the problem at hand here, the map not displaying some of the time:

Google Map script loads on every page
