Debian server not sending mail to recipients that share its domain name

In Agaric's case for this server, mail for the domain was in fact being handled elsewhere. The problem was the server thought it should do it, so it caught all the mail with its domain name and squashed it, saying "there's no user by this name."

How to theme (lots of) views the Agaric Way

I3IVIIVI: now, take a look at the template.php file
(10:20:54 AM) Dan Hak: you took out repeating code?
(10:21:15 AM) I3IVIIVI: yes, exactly
(10:21:22 AM) I3IVIIVI: the code that you knew was repeating
(10:21:35 AM) I3IVIIVI: because you weren't even copying it from the wizard anymore
(10:21:49 AM) I3IVIIVI: you were just changing that one spot :-)
(10:22:11 AM) I3IVIIVI: it was actually harder to refactor than I thought. I shouldn't have done it now

Theme (lots of) views the Agaric way: Background

Go straight to the useful, how-to information: http://agaricdesign.com/note/how-theme-lots-views-agaric-way

Condensing the wisdom of the wizard

Looking at the code produced by the Views Theme Wizard you can see (especially after being told this at a DrupalCamp in NYC a year or so ago) that the code is essentially the same. Clearly, it could be consolidated and the right template still get called for each view you want to theme.

Ask Agaric: Dvorak on a Mac

also, i have a mac, how do i get the keyboard on a mac?

Dvorak on a Mac:

Click that silly apple symbol at the top left, click System Preferences...

First line, Personal, click International, and then Input Menu.

Check Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer to turn both on.

Scroll down the alphabetical list of languages to Dvorak and select the FIRST Dvorak (not Dvorak - Qwerty)

Allow a different input source for each document has worked for me, but I'll switch it to Use one for all documents and see how that goes.

Rel=nofollow is senseless, stupid, and against the way of the web

Poor Brian brought up the wrong subject at I guess the wrong time...

ne'er mind, a little research goes a long way

if it's the rel="nofollow" tag, I am strongly opposed to it

Serving up a different page.tpl.php for different browser types (i.e., IE6) with your Drupal theme

if you figure out just the most major IE issues
that would be good enough

I was able to figure out some CSS background image display problems, but the frustrating failure of columns (right column dropping below all content, left column being pushed out in front of the main content with narrow displays.)

This latter is a problem in all of bluebreeze, incidentally.

Background graphics not displaying in IE6 due to use of padding instead of width and height values

Some IE6 fixes did not require browser detection

Wrong (as far as IE6 is concerned)

a#emailalerts_button {
display: block;
background: url('images/alerts.gif') 0% 0px;
padding: 135px 0px 0px 130px;
vertical-align: bottom;
}

Right (for everything as far as we can test)

a#emailalerts_button {
display: block;
background: url('images/alerts.gif') 0% 0px;
padding: 0;
width: 135px;
height: 130px;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
