Nice podcast from lullabot : most common mistakes when starting to use drupal. Also 5 min before end - there's a mention of 'migrate' module, which builds on 'table wizard', 'schema wizard' and schema api. Sounds like great import workflow. - Sean Farrell

Setting up mod_proxy_balancer using apache. Note that the syntax may include a subdirectory in each member of the load balance group by using syntax like - "BalancerMember http://192.168.1.50:80/dir..." This is needed if the ruby app is being deployed to a subdirectory. - Sean Farrell

Screensharing in Skype Beta for OSX - Sean Farrell

This might be useful in future, but probably best now to stick with menus generated by dreamweaver for the static bit, and to copy a similar structure into the drupal primary menu. - Sean Farrell

This looks handy. BBC iplayer programmes have a permalink and allow creation of a link to a particular point in a video. Not just bookmark this video, but share a bookmark for point 1h17m into the video. - Sean Farrell

Using an html input-text type element rather than input-password might mean that the hint that the browser normally gets about forgetting or autocompleting the field are lost. This would mean that your password field behaved differently from the way that users have configured their browser and a mismatch between behaviopur and expectations of password fields on other sites. Moodle uses an 'unmask' checkbox to dynamically change the type from password to input. - Sean Farrell

How would you bribe a virtual border guard? Paypal, or perhaps carry a big sign with amazon voucher code. - Sean Farrell
