During the past few months, we here at Wunderkraut (yes, Mearra is now known as Wunderkraut, read more about it here) have been poking around Drupal Commerce. After spending quite some time with it , I started looking at ways to improve its UI.

Undoubtedly, unless you have been sleeping under a rock somewhere (hey Patrick!), you must've heard about icon fonts by now. In this post, I will attempt to de-mystify their use and creation.

Entity Sync is a module which allows site to synchronize entities fully or partially to another D7 installation or installations. It was designed from the ground up to be easy and fast to set up. It relies fully on Rules to do the actual synchronization logic, so to get entity information transferred to another drupal installation an event triggered rule is needed to call the synchronization action. Super simple, exportable and clean!.

Planning to set-up new development environment, but haven't yet quite decided between MAMP and installing Apache and MySQL locally?
There is also 3rd option, run LAMP stack virtuallized locally.

Benefits of running your XAMP (apache, mysql & php) stack in virtualbox has many benefits.
- Like having same environment as in production.
- All libraries are not (easily) available to all platforms.
- Freeing resources is easy, just shutdown your virtualmachine.

Back in 2007, my former employer and a current Mearra customer, Uusi Suomi, needed a way to measure and show what's hot and popular on their news site. We initially used Drupal's built-in node counter to list nodes ordered by daily page views. That worked for a while until we noticed the apparent weaknesses: 1) the counter gets reset once a day making near random content the most popular during the slow hours after midnight, and 2) the system favors content published near the reset time as the list feeds itself; people want to read content that other people have found interesting.

The trend of offshoring IT work started during the 90s. Moving labour intensive programming tasks to low cost countries like India or China was considered as a great idea. It provided huge savings on projects that had millions of lines of code. Programmers were considered to be a factory: they just implemented designs done by architects. The way of working was identical if the programmers were sitting in the same room with architects, project managers and customers or on the other side of the world.
