How to set cron for a drupal site

So you've got yourself a drupal site and you're super tired of running cron by hand every day, or every time you want to refresh your news feeds or whatever...

Maybe you like running cron manually all the time, if so, stop reading now and go get a muffin...

Resolution

Anyway, here's how to do it in a few easy steps, aka the agaric way...

First, go to your command line and type:

sudo crontab -l

That'll show you what's already scheduled to run...

Then, type:

XBOX 360 - The Three Lights of Death - Noooooooooooooo!!!!!

So you've dropped a million dollars on an awesome home theater setup, another million on an xbox 360, all the cords, controllers, xbox live, cable internet, a nice comfy couch, beer, chips, and Halo 3.

So you frantically take the wrapping off of halo 3, press power on the xbox 360, and....

...you get nothing, just 3 flashing red lights on the ring of light around the power button.

Installing UbuntuStudio when you already have Ubuntu installed

So you've got your pc up and running with ubuntu or ubuntu desktop and now you've found out that there is a pretty cool creative suite distribution of ubuntu called ubuntustudio, and you want it because, obviously, you are creative...

Well, lucky for you, upgrading is easy. Just follow the steps below to remove your ubuntudesktop and replace it with, in my opinion, a spiffier ubuntustudio desktop and cool open source programs...

Drupal.org redesign: an example of what should go into a major site

From: Kieran Lal
Date: Sep 15, 2007 6:42 AM
Subject: 200 000 user community, 30M page views/month Drupal site needs re-design estimates, recommendations for designers, IAs, graphic designers, interaction designers
To: A list for Drupal consultants and Drupal service/hosting providers

Hello, I need some help coming up with a list of designers, IAs, graphic designers, interaction designer, who can help with the redesign of a very popular website. You may have heard of it:

Printing a menu in a theme

Fellow in IRC asking for ways to print out a third menu, not primary or secondary links but a completely different one, without creating another region, putting just one menu block in it.

I recalled Agaric had done that...

Resolution

This is the way we did it in InternetBarContest. I think there are acouple menu theming functions, not sure how different ones would work with this. In page.tpl.php:

<?php print theme('menu_links', menu_primary_links(0,2)); ?>

Setting up the Agaric way (svn working copy checkouts) on a new server

So, you're the latest Agaric intern (or a founder who's forgotten everything) and you need to put a client on a new server, and you want to continue using the Agaric repository system.

You've found the right page.

Resolution

If you have to begin at the beginning (but not all the way at the beginning) include this first command, throwing in sudos as required throughout:

apt-get install subversion

Vi arrow keys not working

UPDATE: The reason is that vi is old and not so great, and the new Vim that replaces it is set to run in compatibility mode (reproducing vi's old way of doing things) by default.

Put a line:
set nocompatible
in your ~/.vimrc file.

This FAQ is pretty useless, since no one actually has vi anymore I don't think, so there's no reason to suffer like it says:

Locate command in GNU-Linux gives error
