When attempting to log-in to a Drupal website I encountered this error, and couldn't log-in. Bit of a headache, in my case I solved the problem by loading up phpmyadmin, going into the variables table and deleting 'cron_last' & 'cron_semaphore'. I then went into the system table and disabled dblog, poormanscron, search and update modules.

This has solved the problem, I'm not exatly sure what the problem is though. This article on d.o indicates it's to do with performance: http://drupal.org/node/259580

So, you have a site which is 980px wide and you want a horizontal menu width 4 items which span the 980px. Pretty simple, you just make them 245px wide each.

But then you add another menu item...  or even worse one of your clients adds a menu item, and eveything hits the fan.

So you want each item to automatically 'stretch' and here's how:

The HTML:

<ul>
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
  <li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

The CSS:

So I've installed Ubuntu, had a small issue with the LAN driver not working, restarted and this was fixed.

Been re-starting and logging into windows and all has been well. Then suddenly I couldn't connect to the internet.

The network connection seemed to be clicking between 'A network cable is unplugged' and 'Enabled' every few seconds... very strange.

I'll try and write up the process I went through to fix it, but the fix was simply to power down the PC, unplug from the mains for a minute and plug back in and power up. All works fine now.

In the quest to find the ultimate theme for Drupal I found there was no ultimate theme, different themes are good for different tasks.

One of the main ways I use Drupal is too build relatively straightforward websites and building them and being able to re-jig the website at any point is key.
