Mac users: what do you use to create password-protected zip archives?
A client wanted to send over some confidential information and was wondering how to password-protect a zip file. Incredibly, I couldn't find any graphical zip archive utilities for OS X that encrypt files, work in Snow Leopard and are free. 7zX claims to do this but it has some scary user-submitted reviews. Zippist looks promising but it doesn't seem to work in Snow Leopard. I actually use Path Finder or the command line for this, but it's unreasonable to ask most clients to do the same.
mysql has gone away issue...
I've encounter some strange issue with a update cache_update sql which caused the mysql connection link to be disconnected.
But when i execute it in my mysql query analyser, it seems to be okay...
I'm not sure why it happen in drupal, but it seems to the 250th++ query it is executing via the same connection.
It seems to disconnect very often after that...
What i did was that, i do a mysql_ping before executing any queries...
But i'm concern if the disconnected connection query is successful or not.
Anyone got any idea?
btw, here was my fix, for those who encounter similar issue:

Is anyone interested in attending the Build Guild in Salem tomorrow night?
The Build Guild is a monthly event where folks in the web industry (designers, coders, project managers, hobbyists, etc.) can get together to talk web, debate industry topics, share ideas, make professional connections, land gigs, and discuss the real reasons why mustaches need to make a comeback.
Looks like fun!

Beyond the web: Expanding Drupal to the phone (and vice-versa)
Hello everyone,
Thanks for the great feedback at the last Boston meetup!
If you are interested in the Drupal-telephone (VoIP) integration, please let me know. I'm currently putting together a team to upgrade, release and extend my existing VoIP modules.
The current implementation is compatible with Drupal 4.7 and offers the following functionality: voicemail, voicemail groups, phone-based announcements and phone-based events.
