I have a client that has 7000 old static HTML pages that I need to import into Drupal. I have looked at using Import HTML (https://www.drupal.org/project/import_html) and Migrate, but the setup for these modules is simply over my head. For HTML Import, it makes you install HTML Tidy but I have no idea how to install that on their hosting server. When I try without HTML Tidy, it doesn't work.

I also looked at using Migrate per this post: http://fourword.fourkitchens.com/article/migrating-old-html-files-drupal But again, its over my head on how to configure it to work on my client's site.

Here is link to the paper that describes the idea of Super Cookies or Browser FingerPrinting

The Iowa Drupal Group is expanding. At the last meeting we even ran out of chairs. We are moving to a larger venue: 333 Science II on the ISU campus. It is easy to get to. From Hwy 30, take University Boulevard until you pass the horse barns. Park north of Pammel Drive, cross Pammel, and enter the building by the northeast door. Go to the third floor to room 333. We will have signs posted.

Hi, Drupal 7 beta and Ubuntu 10.10 launch back to back, how exciting. Ubuntu has a thing this release where you can try out Ubuntu server on EC2 for free for an hour. The question is, what would you do with EC2 for one hour?

Thanks to the D7 release team, now there is an answer to that question! So I blogged about how to set up D7 quickly for testing on the EC2. http://www.bearfruit.org/2010/10/14/test-drupal-7-beta-for-free/

It's quite easy, you don't have to have ever used EC2 before. My first try I had D7 running in about 6 min. I have to say, the improvements are awesome, I can't wait to start using it. If you care to, you can retweet my announcement.

I'm begining to investigate Aegir - http://groups.drupal.org/aegir-hosting-system

I've built a VMWare virtual machine using the instructions at http://git.aegirproject.org/?p=provision.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/INSTALL...

I just finished building a Mercury VirtualBox appliance to serve as a development environment. Check it out - http://michaelhofmockel.com/toughts/virtualbox-mercury
The readme will help you setup networking and supply credentials.

Thanks ChapterThree for Mercury!
Thanks Greg for you instructions (no problems following them).
