User group meeting
I'm going to be back in Portland next week and wanted to try and get together with everyone who's not in Paris. I was thinking we could grab a beer at the Lucky Lab NW and I could show off some of the new cool stuff in Drupal 7. Sound like fun?

Here's the link I promised to the pathauto issue...
For those of you chatting about pathauto with me yesterday at the Lab:
If an alias is manually created, don't automatically replace it on edit

The pathauto issue you mention has a solution...
FYI...
Goto Site configuration --> Path auto
General Settings. It expands and there is a field labeled UPDATE ACTION. It gives you these choices:
-Do nothing. Leave the old alias intact.
-Create a new alias. Leave the existing alias functioning.
-Create a new alias. Delete the old alias.
Therefore manually typing it in can be set as above and so on and so fourth. It's a very nescessary thing to do if you're handing over a site to other content admins, as changing the title of a node can tank hard coded menu options.

There's a bit more to the story... There's actually a fourth option, that appears when path_redirect is enabled:
Create a new alias. Redirect from old alias. This is actually the setting recommended on the pathauto project page.
The "do nothing" option is the one I use, but only out of necessity.
Regarding your hard coded menu options... using node/NN for the path instead of the alias will avoid your problem (the menu will still get rendered with the alias).
