I've been playing around a lot with Drupal and the Apache Solr Search Integration module. I gave a presentation at the Drupal NYC group meetup, during which I showed a quick demo of my new apachesolr_instant module. So that was fun...
I just released the module as a proof of concept and put up a demo. Check it out :)

If you've ever tried creating a node programmatically in Drupal 6, you know that without writing too many lines of PHP, you can set most fields of a node, including CCK fields. However, if you have a CCK imagefield which you'd like to set to an image, you'll have to do some extra work.

Drupal user mndonx wrote in to tell us how she's building an UberPOS setup at a bookstore with a custom theme and some added functionality through Views. It's still a work in progress but it's looking great!
Here's what she wrote:
I themed the UberPOS module for use with a bookstore in mind. This store wants to be able to sell books online AND sell them in a brick & mortar store, but not have to run two databases or pay the expensive monthly fees of using integrated services.

Ortogid, an orthopedic salon in Russia, has been working with the UberPOS team to get their setup launched. They've worked to fix bugs and add features. They also sent us the image below, showing their customized UberPOS interface. Looking good!

I've been going to a lot of Drupal events and talking about uberPOS, along with all the other awesome things going on in the Drupal community. Going to these events really helps me find motivation to improve uberPOS. They also help me learn how to explain the benefits of uberPOS better.

After having the same cheap Staples chair, basically since I got my first computer, I finally upgraded. I got a Sealy Executive chair because OfficeMax is doing a decent sale right now. Here are the two together.

I spent a bit of time helping somebody on freenode's #drupal-support IRC channel add teaser text to Ubercart's product grid view.
Here's an example of this from a site developed by left-click:
http://www.biolateral.com/catalog/biolateral-cds
It also includes audio, which also usually isn't in the grid display. I've removed that part from the code below to simplify things.
Awhile ago I posted a patch to add a checkbox to Ubercart to allow for this functionality. People seem to like it:
http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/5395
However, that patch modifies core Ubercart, which isn't ideal. Each time you upgrade Ubercart, you'll have to remember to reapply my patch. A better solution is to add a theme override to your theme's template.php file. This is a common practice in Drupal, so if you haven't done it before, now's a good time to learn. Just make sure you're ready to dig into a bit of php.

There's been a fair amount of interest in UberPOS which is very motivating.
I'm going to resume some heavy development of UberPOS today and I've started putting together a list of things to do. Mostly these are the 'to dos' we need done before we can make the switch to UberPOS at Left-click. These are also the main things holding back an alpha release.
