I recently found an interesting service called Mark Alert by Domain Tools.

Mark Alert by Domain Tools allows you to be alerted when someone registers a domain name with any terms or phrases in it that you specify.

Emails are sent daily and you can adjust which terms get emailed to you and which ones don't. Supported TLDs are .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, and .info.

This tutorial covers the Pingback module for Drupal.

This is a great module, it is worth installing! If you managed to install the module on your own website, please pingback this page for testing! Creating a pingback is really easy, now I'm creating one to this site:

I only mentioned the above website in this post, and the Pingback module did the hard work, it's simple.

There are many useful editors and debuggers useable to churn out Drupal code. However, most popular IDEs are written in some non-native language, so they are so very resource intensive and because of that, so slow that I just can't use them. This includes Eclipse, Zend and Komodo. So, this article will not be about these. Neither I will write about the virtues of vi or emacs -- I use much simpler tools.

This screencast provides a 30 minute overview of the new i18n (internationalization) and l10n (localization) features that Drupal 6 offers.

Drupal 6 contains lots of i18n and l10n improvements. Gábor Hojtsy has been focusing on i18n and translation for quite long time.
