Accessing 'to date' in CCK Date field
I am building an on-line classroom utilizing CCK Date field to indicate start and end date. The date field has a start and to date. I have a view which identifies all of the users with a sign-up for any class starting in the next day (now to now +1 day) and performs an operation. What I need is a similar view which will use the 'to date' in the CCK Date field to perform another operation. So, the question is, how can I access the 'to date' in a view?

DrupalCon 2010 Session videos available on Internet Archive
Greetings all,
If you weren't able to attend DrupalCon in SF, you can view the slides and audio recordings of most, if not all, of the sessions from DrupalCon 2010 in San Francisco by going to the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=subject:%22DrupalCon%202010%22. I was lucky enough to go, but there were several sessions I wanted to attend that were offered at the same time. This gives me a way to see what I missed.
A sample 1-hour session was available in MPEG4 (320x480)(79MB), OGV (400x300)(264MB) , and WMV (640x480)(208MB).
Cheers,
John

Authorize.net or other gateways for Ubercart
I have set up a few sites with authorize.net, but in each instance, the client has given me the keys/info, and I never dealt with the actual authorize.net net setup.
Can someone speak of his experience from a vendor's perspective as to what is really involved? I think you don't buy straight from auth.net but rather through a reseller-- how does one go about selecting "the right vendor?" What about costs? What other payment gateways have you used with Ubercart?
Thanks

At DrupalCon?
If so, please be sure to say hi to my friend Everett Zufelt (he's the one with the dog in this photo).
Everett is a great coder and has made quite a few contributions to Drupal 7 in particular. If you were at the CoreDev Summit, you saw him give a killer of a lightning talk about how to make accessibility an integral part of Drupal's continued development.

Austin, Texas Now nominated for a Webby
The Austin Chamber of Commerce's Austin, Texas Now site has been nominated for a Webby. It's the only Drupal (and Austin) site in the category, and I think it's a great showcase of some Drupal capabilities. I may be biased (I'm one of the developers), but if you like the site you can vote for it here:
