To use, create a new view with page type 'XML Sitemap: News'. I did not include a default view because there is no standard URL for Google News site maps." & WordPress Sitemap Generator for Google News - David Stansbury KB3KAI & Google Webmaster Tools: "For News Sitemaps: The Sitemap Generator is not recommended for use in creating Google News Sitemaps at this time, due to the special requirements of News Sitemaps.

spherical panorama using ptviewer.jar | drupal.org: "Here is an example... There are several options for flash to show spherical panoramas. I use a program called 'pano2qtvr'. This outputs both qucktime and flash movies. You can find more info here 'http://gardengnomesoftware.com/'. There is a new version out now that is not dependent on quicktime source. See the link for more info. I use 'ptgui' to stitch the pano's with and then use pano2qtvr to render the quicktime or flash movie. But there are many other stitching programs out there that will render your pano in flash as well. Prior to flash 8 it was not possible to show spherical pano's in flash. Since flash 8 this is now possible. The flash movies are based on the 'cube' format designed by quicktime.
For further information on this see the Panotools list at yahoo. Here you can find further information all about panoramic imaging." & Panorama Tools: PTViewer Documentation, links & WordPress › WP PT-Viewer « WordPress Plugins & Flash Panorama Publishing Software - Panorama2Flash

Western Digital Passport: An Excellent Option for Backing Up Your Data to an External Hard Drive « My Tech Talk: "Limitations of the WD Sync software: The software only SYNCS data. If you backup a folder from your hard drive to the Passport device, this doesn’t mean that you can then delete that folder from your hard drive. Why? The next time you sync the WD Sync software will remove that folder from the Passport device. It considers your hard drive the “master copy” of the data." & What See I?: May 2008: "Converting FAT32 to NTFS Without Formatting" & Syncing Hard drives - Pro DJ Forums: "If the encryption could be disabled, WD Sync would be perfect, but SyncToy does what I need it to."

Solr: An Alternative to Drupal Search, Now with Group Filtering | Development Seed: "There is a module - apachesolr - that's being actively developed that presently supports using Solr for searching Drupal sites. However, because Solr's search is independent of the usual SQL queries used by Drupal - and immune to the performance ramifications therein - the module doesn't currently support the node access permissions system, and therefore returns blurbs of what could be restricted content"

The Spring Application Server: I told you so: "You see, along with my predictions of a Spring application server, I've also been predicting a shift in what we call 'standard' JEE. I've been predicting a JEE future where applications are no longer deployed in big monolithic EAR/WAR files and instead are deployed in smaller, easier to manage, individually deployed bundles that collectively make up an application."
