Prompted by Mark Boulton's Tweet earlier today:
"Talk is Silver, Code is Gold". So, where's design? #drupalcon
Yeah? So where's writing documentation? Where's tech support in the drupal.org forums and on IRC? Where's trawling through issue queues? Where's organising drupal camps and cons? I could go on. I won't. It's all code, even design. Allow me to explain. Read more »

Beautytips module requires the excanvas library for Internet Explorer support. But it's tricky getting drush_make to download and install the zipped version provided by the excanvas project because there's no containing folder and drush_make seems to expect one. Read more »

I came across Andy Ford's modified AutoCompletion.plist for MacRabbit's CSSEdit today, and not being entirely convinced of all Andy's modifications I decided to make my own.
The main differences are: I've moved the browser specific and CSS3 properties into their own sections, added a comment above each of those sections and removed the font-family values. Generally I add font stacks from an external source like code style's font stack builder, so these font names make no sense to add, especially without spaces (that's just asking for trouble)!
But thanks go to Andy for writing up the tip, it's a handy addition to CSSEdit while we wait for MacRabbit to finish playing with Espresso and get around to updating CSSEdit.
Attached is a patch file with my modifications to the original AutoCompletion.plist.

Desktop clock with geektool” (possibly because Google directs people here looking for actual physical desktop clocks, but still).
