As I noted before, Ubuntu.com is now running Drupal.Today, Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn has been released, and the number of visitors to the site must have skyrocketed. Either the site went into throttle mode, and hence no blocks are visible, or Canonical have replaced the front page with a plain HTML page.

Overview

Drupal has a module called watchdog that logs all messages to a database table. The module is currently mandatory, and hence writing to the table cannot be easily removed without hacking core. This can be a problem on sites with heavy traffic where the database is loaded with more logging unecessarily.

ubuntu.com has switched to Drupal.Very nice and visually appealing design.This is also on digg, although Drupal is not mentioned, and I posted it on Drupal.org's forum. My favorite Linux distro is using my favorite CMS.

From yet another case of life imitating humor, there is this article on how Caucho's Quercas PHP implementation in Java was used to run Drupal.Another post by Dave Herron on Resin's PHP support, and using Drupal as a test for that. What is scary is that this is indeed a case of life imitating humor.

Congratulations Gurpartap Singh: you posted node #100,000 on Drupal.org dated November 27, 2006 13:14 (Central European Time).Dries' second law states that "with every version of Drupal, the number of nodes on drupal.org doubles. Post #50,000 was on February 18, 2006, before 4.7 was released (May 1, 2006). Version 5.0 is not out yet (Hi Karoly!).So, when will we reach 200,000?
