Questions for the Android Community

Calling all hackers and other really smart people, why Android doesn't have photo geotagging or access point software yet.

I mean as far as geotagging photos goes, the device is all setup for this, aka GPS and Camera, it just needs the right software...

Having the ability to make the android an access point to 3g seems like a reasonable idea too, given that the device is fully equipped with 3g, usb, wifi, and bluetooth, there has to be a way of piggybacking a laptop to the web...

make it happen, do it.

Use h1 for front page site name and strong for interior pages' site name display

For semantic correctness (your site's code saying what it means) and search engine optimization, your site's title should be in level one header (h1) tags on the front page and something else, such as strong tags, on all other (interior) pages.

Looking at SQL to fix broken queries in a Drupal environment

Alternate title: Apparently I don't understand SQL (and so need all the help I can get)

The easiest way to get a better look at your SQL in Drupal is to install the devel module. (Hint: It's for use on development sites, not production sites!)

Site expecting more traffic and the built-in Drupal response

A typical (well, sort of) heads up that a site will be under heavier load, and our minimal (very minimal) scaling precautions using Drupal's standard features.

Hey fellow media revolutionaries, I just wanted to let you know we'll
see an increased load on http://saveournet.ca today and likely for the
next couple weeks. I just launched a campaign.

It could be very big, but I've been known to over estimate this stuff.

Remove the iGoogle Sidebar

For some reason, someone over at Google thought it would be a good idea to add a sidebar to the iGoogle homepage and not give ANY option to get rid of it, even though it essentially takes up 20% of the screen real estate...

Thankfully people out there know things, and because of that we have the iGoogle Sidebar Toggle Firefox add-on, chock full of features that help you. Well, just one actually, a little arrow that toggles that pesky sidebar...

Get to the login screen of a Drupal site: /user

To go to the log-in form on most any Drupal site, simply add /user to the base URL.

So for the site example.com, visit example.com/user and if it is Drupal you should be presented with the sign-in form, plus tabs to send a replacement password by e-mail and possibly to register to create a new account.

If the site does not have clean URLs enabled (which you can see if you visit other pages), you will have to include ?q= in your path: example.com/?q=user.

Modules working but not visible from administer modules page!

This is a Drupal 5 site, and there was one piece of Ubercart functionality that wasn't showing up on the live site, as opposed to the test site, so we went to enable the module. And noticed not a single Ubercart module was listed at admin/build/modules even though Ubercart functionality was most certainly working on the site.

Yeah. Freakiest thing ever.

Update Drupal core for fresh testing

cvs up -dP

If you want to completely wipe the slate clean, you can also do:

cvs up -dPC

Be careful with the C. That will overwrite anything in core you are working on.
