I recently came across a small problem with sorting views by date. Not by any Node associated date (such as Publish Date, or Update Date, but sorting by a Date Field, as supplied by the Date module. I was trying to sort the content by the date field, descending, but what I was getting was all sorts of garbled mess, at which point I noticed that there was no granularity setting when adding the field to the Sort list.
Enter: Arguments.
My Win7 laptop (work laptop) has recently died (either the powerpack is shot or the socket on the side of the laptop is dead, it's not charging any more), so I thought I'd resurrect an old machine to handle my web and file sharing tasks in the interim. I plugged all my old hard drives into this machine, so there's about 4tb or so of space, minus 1 400gb hdd because I ran out of sata cables 
We're deploying a multisite installation for our new Intranet at work. Essentially, we have a main intranet site (the default install), then we have a site for each department.
The idea was to be that theprimary links menu would stay the same across all sites. As there are 7 department sites, we didn't really want to copy and paste the menu 7 times, then edit it 7 times, whenever something changes in it. So, the best solution would be to share the appropriate menu table.
I came across this little gem when trying to add content to my newly create Drupal content type. I had just created a new content type and was adding some content of that type to make sure everyhting was working ok. The content type in question had around 25 fields or so, which was a combination of text areas and image fields.
Just a quick one that doesn't seem to be too well documented on the web.
I was having a problem with Views Slideshow not working, when using Nice Menus at the same time. It turns out that there's a few problems with displaying Views Slideshow, as a block. Nobody's quite figured out how to roll this into a patch for the module yet, but in the meanwhile, there is a simple workaround :)

Wow, it looks like the spam bots already know about this site. Didn't take the little buggers long.
As such, I'll be loking at different spam setups within Drupal, as they seem to be getting past the ReCaptcha system pretty easily. I'll post my findings :)
