This is a Views summary style plugin. It allows you to embed the results of a View with each argument in the argument summary. You may use a different display; for example, you might build an archive View with a Year+Month argument, that lists the four most popular nodes for each month in the summary, but that lists nodes in date order when you click through to the argument.

Is Over-the-Air TV Dying?

Practical Technology - Thu, 02/09/2010 - 3:18pm

استسلمت للنوم بسرعة شديدة بعد يوم طويل وممل انتهى بقدرة قادر ، لكن الاستغراق فى النوم لم يمنعنى من الشعور به وهو يتحرك داخل الشقة ، باب حجرة النوم مغلق علينا ، ولى لى ترقد بسلام على عتبة الباب ، لكنى كنت أشعر بخطواته وقد اقتربت جدا منى ، وسمعت صوته يتمتم بآيات من الذكر الحكيم التى اختلطت بدقات قلبى التى كنت أسمع صوتها بشدة ، قررت أن لا أتحرك حتى لا يشعر بى ويقتلنى ، اللصوص دوما يقتلون من يرونهم ، تركت الغطاء فوق رأسى ، وشعرت بخطواته تقترب ، للدرجة التى جعلتنى أشعر بصوت أنفاسه ، ثم إذا بيديه تدخل تحت الفراش ، وهنا كانت قمة الرعب بالنسبة لى ، لم أفهم ما الذى يريده با

هل هي مسألة أجيال حقا؟؟ هل هو جيل صحا على حلم انتهى بكابوس النكسة الذي أثر فيه حتى النخاع فاستسلم أو فر من الساحة وجيل تال يكاد يموت عطشا إذ لم يرتو منذ ولد بأي حلم... هل بالفعل لدى جيلنا رغبة غير مسبوقة في أن يفعل شيئا لأنه وعلى مدار حياته لم ير أي إنجاز وعانى حتى النخاع من تبعات وويلات الذل و الاستسلام... هل نتوق بأشد ما يكون فعلا إلى العزة والكرامة والحرية ... رغم ما أراه من اليأس فإني لا أرى لنا خيارا آخر سوى أن نحلم لأننا بدون ذلك فالأفضل لنا أن نموت...

Taxonomy Machine Names

Drupal Modules - Thu, 02/09/2010 - 4:15am

This module's audience is developers who require machine names for taxonomy vocabularies, including views support. This module allows existing (and new) installations to continue using the Drupal 6 taxonomy API while gaining the benefits of vocabulary machine names.

As such, it should play nice with any taxonomy related modules (such as those that provide import / export features, etc...)

You made a difference in this world, one that will last and outlive you. I can only thank you.

Rest in peace, my brother. See you at the other side of the Firewall, and thanks for all the FLOSS ;)

Nothing new in the new Apple TV

Practical Technology - Wed, 01/09/2010 - 9:20pm
I like owning videos. I like knowing I can watch and compare the classic Maltese Falcon and first version from 1931 whenever I want. Or, on the lighter side, that I can watch Dr. Who episodes from anywhere in time and space at my convenience. That’s why I’m totally unimpressed by the new Apple TV.

VMware doesn’t like Windows

A friend recently asked me if I really wanted VMware, a company with a former Microsoft guy in charge, VMware, to buy Novell? His unspoken message was “Wouldn’t that be horrible for Novell’s Linux?” Bless his heart, clearly he hasn’t been paying attention to the relationship between VMware and Microsoft.
