Showing the number of results a search returns in...

Searches in D7 can be themed from two files,...

Putting a Paypal link into a form loaded with...
I hope my face relays the angst involved with this concept.
Here’s what I wanted out of Drupal today:
Have a main menu item load in a modal popup (Colorbox) instead of directing you to a page.
Specifically, load the contact form link as a popup (and maybe newsletter subscriptions as well).
Apparently this is a huge pain in the assbutt.
Here’s how to do it:

Consolidating gmail addresses
I have 3 email addresses I use for different things: (example) work@gmail home@gmail freelance@gmail.
I also happen to hate every mail client except Sparrow which I can’t use since I’m an Arch Linux guy. Most days I have 3 pinned tabs in Chrome for each email account.
To make my life easier I consolidated them all into one account (my home@gmail address).
Here are the steps:

12: 07 Me: seems like they are to me
12: 07 Boss: keeps showing $0.00

12: 08 Boss: yeah but the cart isn't adding the prices right
12: 09 Me: the price is $0
12: 10 Boss: weird
12: 12 Boss: oh the prices are 0
12: 12 Me: yeah
12: 26 Me: you realize you added 0+0 incorrectly back there.
12: 26 Boss: shutup

Kelly Sutton's Tumblr: Paying More for Less →
kellysutton:
This morning I found myself at Burp Castle and Big Bar around 3am (give or take a few beers) discussing—what else—the Internet. Almost everyone I interact with lives their lives online. I spend many hours of my day in front of a screen both consuming and creating. An idea is echoed more and more…

China Strikes Back at Google →
Of course this would happen the right after Google decided to un-censor itself.
The company may be making the Chinese government a little angry for going back on their written agreements, but what’s a company being attacked supposed to do?
Hopefully no one will politicize the issue and cause this to become more than a corporate conflict.
In the end I don’t think Google can be...
