Welcome to the blog. We talk about everything we do here, upcoming events, and a million other things.
Internet security is like urinating to windward. No matter what we do, we're never going to stop users from using a certain web browser, a certain mail client, a certain operating system, and opening every .exe or suspicious file that gets sent to them. That shouldn't stop our efforts, though.
We're working to package up Drupal as a standalone Drupal installation that's turn key on a virtual server. We already do something similar for our hosted services (we run dozens of servers full of Drupal XEN-based VPS on our infrastructure).

For those of you that read the enterprise article I posted recently, or attended the OSCMS Conference at Yahoo, you're probably familiar with the needs of corporate customers. Or at least the needs as I see it.
Somebody recently asked me whether I thought Drupal was a good platform for a/b Marketing. Since Drupal is such good platform for search engine optimization, many people automatically assume that Drupal is very good for doing marketing campaigns.
I submitted another patch today to allow users to override default database connection error handling.
I've submitted a patch to the daterange module so that one can specify before and after criteria as arguments to a view for Node: Created Date.

I really like LinkedIn, but I wish they would do more.
Khalid Baheyeldin fixed one of my highest priority problems with Drupal: watchdog support for external logging.
One of the sites I host had a strange issue today upon apache crashing with the garden variety segmentation fault. The segfault itself isn't abnormal; we've seen it quite a bit with Drupal sites that run either apc or eaccelerator.
