It constantly bugs me that when I am logged in as an administrator to a Drupal 6 site and navigate to the content administration page, I can't create content. I am forced to go to the navigation block to do so. It becomes more frustating when I turn off the navigation block. My solution is to...

Wasseberg + Skotte Tryckeri is changing their name to Vittgrafiska. Part of the name change is a new website and there is a contest for what design colors will be used for the site. The winner also wins 25,000 kronor in print services from Wassberg + Skotte. All you have to do is upload a short...
While using the Drupal Nicemenus module I always get frustrated by the lack of granular control of the HTML elements. To fix this I went in to the module and adjusted the code to do a couple of things. The first was to add a class id that only shows for the main menu items. This means I can...

Sweden has some of the best mobile broadband services on the globe. But it has always been a pain to use Linux on the desktop and try to use those services. In Linux Mint 9 and below you had to install a USB driver and use some small tweeks. I just upgraded to Linux Mint 10 and found that they...
This is frustrating. The latest versions of MySQL GA for Windows simply will not install if you even hint at the fact that you will be using Innodb. Of course Oracle is not coming right an saying it but it would seem that they have "accidently" removed all windows support for the innodb database...
