A few days ago in #drupal c4se noticed a the archive modules I'm using here. Well, and since it's not yet released I was wondering, if it's really worth putting it out into the light of the world. Let's see ...
zk_monthly_archives is basically a replacement for the archives modules bundled with Drupal. It's actually a much simplified version of it that does 2 things:
- Provide a block holding a list of all the months published nodes exist in ...
- and offers for each month a listing off all these nodes.
Nothing really special but I liked it that way when I first saw something like this quite some time ago on Jon Hick's weblog. Sure, the implementation is a little bit different, simply because I normally have more than 10 posts per month and the page would just get too long if I put a listing of all posts on one single page :)
This was also my first module I've ever written for Drupal, so please don't kill me for its simplicity and probably also for the sloppy code in it. It gets the job done and that's all I care about. So there's no fancy admin/settings form for it ;)
If you find any bugs, please comment to this post for now. I think I will sooner or later install the projects module here, but first I want to test it to see if it really does what I want :)

If you want to have something for your PSP that isn't more or less just a port of an already existing PS2 franchise you will probably know the name "LocoRoco" by know. This game is in its core more or less a very classic jump'n run. More or less, because your character doesn't really jump. Instead you're controlling the planet you're on. Rotate it to the right so that your character rolls to the right, rotate to the left, to let your character roll to the left. Jumping is done via earthquakes.
While I had military service about 6 years ago, my parent's printer died and they went to the local retailer of Minolta to get a new one. When I came home I saw a brand new PagePro 1100L ... as I had feared: GDI, so no chance to get it work with GNU/Linux, BSD, whatever system that isn't Windows.
"Star Trek: Vanguard" (VAN) is a new book series telling a story about a space station in the timeframe or Kirks first 5-year mission. Starbase 47 "Vanguard" is one of the latest space stations of the UFP build in a border region more or less between the Klingon and Tholian empire called the Thaurus Reach. And no: In my opinion this isn't really a DS9 clone. True, both are about a space station somewhere on the edge of known space etc. but while DS9 has Bajor to put most of its plot in relation to, Vanguard seems to live from the exploration of a whole sector but with more or less known enemies like the Klingons and the Tholians. But the plot will probably also introduce a new power ... In DS9 it was also very clear from the beginning, why the UFP wanted to get a foothold in this sector, while in VAN it's a secret that only the reader and some people of the command staff know about. VAN in my opinion smells more like a spy/thriller story to me than the more soap oriented DS9 ;-)
