Just put the new valigrunt mopar chrysler website up

Written with drupal-5 and based on the nonzero theme, combined with views, panels and jlightbox it's a very slick interface! check it out!

A handy hack, force browsers of visitors to your website to refresh their javascript cache, handy when you are doing extensive upgrades to your site and you really must ensure everyone is running the latest javascript from your site.

this code works in drupal, but could be easily tweaked for other CMS's or PHP frameworks.

it just appends a "/foo.js?$file_mod_time" to any script sources that are parsed to it, so as soon as you change the file, this ensures any browsers will try to grab the latest version.

function append_js_time($matches) {
  if($matches[1]{0} == '/') {

I'm sure you all love Drupal however there are a couple of design decisions that are less than ideal in all circumstances.

One of them is the path alias handling, you know - the stuff that lets you have a page accessible via mysite.com/fruit/bananas instead of mysite.com/node/1234

Was reading up on memcacheDB and came across MemcacheQ (also on the same page)

MemcacheQ is a distributed message queueing mechanism that lives onto of - you guessed it - memcache.

So you get all the benefits of memcache's speed, portability and distribute-"ability" but for managing message queue's.

For example, you could run memcached on your server farm, post a new queue into the "cloud" and any of of your nodes can grab the best suited message for them and process it.

it's as easy as..
