Since I don't own a TV there's usually a delay for me to learn of any worthy TV shows, if I hear of them at all. This one aired last June and I only just heard about it. In any case it's worth a look especially as it is now available on DVD. The message this show has to tell is very important to grok in that it's part wake-up call about some dangers our culture is facing, and it's part beacon of hope.

The Advertisement module for Drupal is pretty darn powerful and is quite adequate for serving ads on the site on which it's running. That is, you can configure the module, add in a bunch of ad nodes, configure a block to select ads from given ad groups, and they show up on the page. This module also supports "remote ads". This is a bad name for the functionality but "remote ads" generates a bit of javascript which can be embedded into other websites to display advertisements hosted by the Advertisement module. I've been using the Advertisement module to host ads within the Drupal instance on which the ad's are running, however I am partway through converting to using the remote ads feature and am liking the result so far.

Utilities are poised to drive the U.S. solar market in coming years, based on a new report from Emerging Energy Research that predicts utilities will add 21.5 GW of photovoltaic capacity by 2020, up from only 77 MW of utility-driven PV projects in operation today. U.S. utilities already have announced more than 4.8 GW of large PV projects in the works, according to the Emerging Energy Research report. The firm forecasts that utilities will play a key role in shaping the changing landscape of solar power and estimates the U.S.

They are a "new media and podcasting" consulting bureau. They happen to have a podcast directory on their website. Most of the website is about how to create a podcast and you have to hunt in the administrivia links at the bottom of the page to find the directory.

Adding a podcast to the directory is simple - click on the 'Submit a Podcast' link, fill in the fields, and wait for the confirmation email. That confirmation email includes a verification link you must visit.

AllPodcasts is a directory and search engine for, uh, podcasts.

The directory is a simple tree hierarchy. Each page of the hierarchy is a list of podcast names, each with their RSS feed, and linking to a show page.

Show pages however are simply a formatting of the feed.

There is a search box which searches across several websites that list podcasts. It doesn't appear to search across anything on the allpodcasts.com site.

There doesn't appear to be a way to add your podcast to the directory. There is a form that claims it will ping several podcast directories.

Daily Radar operates a broad set of blog and podcast directories. Each of the sites focuses on a broad topical area, and the blogs/podcasts added to the specific sites have to fit that broad topical area. Within each of their sites there are a small set of categories.

Each listed blog/podcast has its own page with a summary and a list of items. The items aggregated from each blog/podcast also are listed elsewhere and is the main content of the site. Site users can vote up/down on aggregated items and the voting helps keep stuff on the front page.

In October 2009 the UK Energy Research Centre released an indepth report on Peak Oil. In this episode of the Technosanity Podcast we go over several articles discussing the report.
Articles discussed in the podcast:-

The UK Energy Research Centre handles research into energy issues for all of Britain. On Oct 8, 2009 they released an indepth study of oil production, the ways to measure oil reserves, estimate current and future production, etc. They paint a picture of peak oil and the need to move to other energy resources. It's not that they are whole-hog embracers of peak oil, instead this is a serious and indepth explanation of the issues with eye opening charts, data and discussion.

In the Drupal community there's a paradigm that every time you hack core you kill a kitten. And who would want to kill a kittens? The point is that any time you hack core (modify the Drupal core files) it becomes a nightmare to forward-migrate your changes as Drupal core is updated. The Drupal team does routinely update Drupal (about every 2 months) and it's best to keep your Drupal installation up-to-date especially as many of the fixes are for security bugs.
