Project Management

.net magazine: The Agile Waterfall
Agile development methods have gained momentum in recent years. Jon Arnold, a strategic consultant, argues that despite all of its benefits there are elements of the traditional waterfall model that shouldn't be underestimated. Why not cherry pick the best of both?

Technology

The Trek: Johannesburg to Cape Town
After three years of full-time employment our employees get one month off to free their mind and do something really extreme. Managing Director Gregory Gerhardt will challenge himself on the roads of South Africa with a 1400km (870 miles) walk. You can follow the latest steps of his preparations on his website.

    Thanks for using Views Auto-Refresh and glad it's working out for you! The new version at http://drupal.org/project/views_autorefresh now uses an area handler to allow site builders to set it up. It should be functionally equivalent to the Views Hacks version, in addition to the bug fixes that went into it since it moved.

    Not sure I understand your question fully.

    If you try run this on your local without a web server you might get a bunch of errors or no unicorn at all. Vectron uses Ajax requests to get the SVG file, for this you need to have a local web server or run it on a real environment. More about this issue can be found here.

    If your question is of a different nature why not ask it over on Stack Overflow, where you can ask your question to a broader audience. I'm sure somebody there will have had the same challenge as you.
