Pardon me if I’m a bit concerned by that stack of 9 SQL errors, and I don’t quite feel as though my Appalachian Drupal Basic was successfully installed.
I’m not sure exactly what the hell is wrong with it now, but it never did this kind of thing when I was maintaining it. I’ll have to admit, the errors are kind of whimsical – Unknown column ‘oops’ in ‘where clause’, indeed…
The company is actually named Chapter Three, and they’re a group of cool folks who love bicycles, veganism, and other bay area native customs.
Oh, they also rock the Drupal – with particularly nice design stuff.
One of the coolest Drupal shops on the U.S. east coast is also one of the largest collection of open data geeks in the Drupal community. Their name is actually Development Seed, they rock intensely, and this is a quick parody of their logo.
It was just an accident! – TWICE?!
Spyware, malware, or any other type of tracking/phone home/surreptitious code is unacceptable in the Drupal CVS repository… I find it all too convenient to see this explained as an accident, and that there was no bad intent despite screwing up once before; the intent is pretty clear to me.
There is far too little to gain from the eye candy to diminish that it is a but a layer of cheap varnish – something that adds a bit of shine or bling initially, but dulls rapidly to obscure the big picture, even with casual use.
It is an abomination, and if it ships in Drupal core 7 without being disabled by default, then it will also help to quite nicely signify the precise moment at which Drupal, Mr. Fonzarelli, and a certain shark all cosmically intersected.
While performing some routine analysis over the six-thousand-plus modules, themes, and other contributed code in the Drupal contributed code base, I was saddened to learn of the depressively low obscenity count.
While it’s true that popular words, such as **** (17 instances) and **** (16 instances) made up the bulk of words, I was shocked to see not even 1 instance of ************!
The informal study was recently conducted by applying the most excellent code searching tool, ack to the entire contributed code base. Certain filtering modules containing false positives were omitted from the overall count.
You’ll see errors like these in the watchdog log:
Cron has been running for more than an hour and is most likely stuck.
One possible way to handle this is to whack the variables cron_last and cron_semaphore from the site database, and try cron again. Fortunately, this is all a trivial set of drush commands nowadays.
drush sql-dump > website_database_backup.sql
drush variable-delete cron_last
drush variable-delete cron_semaphore
drush cc all
drush cron
In many cases, the above steps will allow cron to run successfully, and get you back on track for future successful Drupal cron runs.
D6 Sheet is a weekend project mobile application (iPhone for now, w/ Android in the works) I created that contains over 100 Drupal development and design functions, hooks, template filenames, and more.
There’s even an easter egg on the page that documents shaking things up… ;)
This is a tongue in cheek hat tip to the finest Drupal training and consulting shop in the world, good ‘ol Lullabot, and their most excellent robot logo.
Hatin’ on Drupal with your fear uncertainty, and doubt like some kind of odd little Redmondian Jr. is no way to go through life, son!
I haven’t the manners displayed so kindly by Mr. Buytaert regarding your gunning for Drupal, so instead I pardoy your logo! ;P
Yes, I was the guy with the hand-drawn J*ve Software badge at DrupalCon SF who roamed the conference whilst obnoxiously barking “J*VE SOFTWARE!” at random intervals. It was fun – I got to surprise and talk to several people about how it was my own little way of protesting the J*ve FUD.
In summary, I was going around spouting a bunch of jive talkin’ bullshit!
