A simple but effective drupal newsletter module
Simplenews scheduler sends a newsletter as a re-occurring item based on a schedule.

Drupal bash script to show difference between your theme function override and the original
Heres a handy script I wrote this morning, how do you easily see the differences between your mytheme_function override template.php entries and the original theme_function in the sites/all/modules, modules/, includes/ ?

This script builds an index file of known themed functions, extracts your existing declared function and the theme_function from the original and your template file then uses 'diff' to show the difference in side-by-side format! awesome
Hints for web-developers who develop "on the run"
So you mainly work for yourself, or work out-of-office on a laptop, quite often not from home because staying at home means you keep knicking off to tune your car or do the washing - you've got some serious work todo.
