Using Ubiquity to post notes to Drupal

Good instructions for a particular method here:
http://www.schoonzie.com/using-the-ubiquity-firefox-extension-to-create-drupal-nodes

Followed but not currently using because of after installing the command by phoque command Ubiquity threw (apparently harmless) errors, and the process for modifying blog URLs was not clear (as in, even just listing the ones you've entered).

Wireless Problems on HP Pavilion dv6000: Ubuntu or bad hardware?

Wireless suddenly stopped working on my mother's Ubuntu-ized HP laptop.

It's the lousy hardware all by itself:

Keep .DS_Store files out of your Git projects when developing on a Mac

Following Alex Miller's note on git ignore files I added this to my .gitconfig file in my home directory:

[core]
excludesfile = ".gitexcludes"

And created also in my home directory the file .gitexcludes with this in it:

.DS_Store

Not sure yet if that relative path approach will work, or if I'll have to specify /home/ben/.gitexcludes...

There are at least two other modules in a similar space as Agaric's Enabled Modules:

Voice over IP without the untrustworthy Skype

Stefan Freudenberg:
Hi. I have setup an Ekiga account. Do you have something like that, too?

Benjamin Melançon:
Ekiga?

looks like one of my better bets on Mac
and given proof of Skype's evilness, I'm all for it

How to CVS checkout best release of all modules of a given Drupal version [unresolved]

Adapted from my comments at mroswell's question about downloading all Drupal 5 modules with CVS on the Drupal Groups site. (The person who would know if anyone would, dww, says there's not a solution yet.)

Command to check out all contributed modules with a given branch tag. The name of the directory you want to check out into follows the "-d" and can be any name you want. I gave it such an odd name (alld5modules) to try to emphasize that fact :-P

Drupal 6 theme from a module

Comment Module Example

Most of the time, the best way to learn is from looking at core. Randomly clicking around in a Drupal 6 download led us to modules/comment, where we noticed comment-folded.tpl.php. Aha! A template file with that name will probably not be called automatically by Drupal's template systems (as node.tpl.php might). So let's see just how comment.module handles this.

The _theme hook alerts Drupal to the presence of theming functions and, as in this case, a template:

Confirming a merge as non-destructive

It worked this time, anyway. Reviewed the diff (for two different revisions? brain/memory not working), and then when it appeared none of the changes conflicted, ran the subversion update.

-bash-3.00$ svn diff sites/default/modules/change_agents/user_profiles/user_profiles.module

Index: sites/default/modules/change_agents/user_profiles/user_profiles.module

Agaric wants a "create users" permission for Drupal

Drupal should add a "create users" permission, split out from administer users, because this is a useful privilege for certain roles to have.

For instance, managers of organic groups should be able to create users that they can then add to their group. They should not be able to administer users (edit or delete existing users).
