"It's natural for organizations to learn from mistakes. The problem is, people who propose new checks almost never consider that the check itself has a cost."

The following scripts are mangled to show how this works, so don't expect them to operate as-is.
#!/bin/bash
PROBLEM=0
cat $CONF | grep backup | grep @ |
while IFS=$TAB read var1 var2 var3 var4
do
PROBLEM=1
echo PROBLEM:$PROBLEM
done
echo PROBLEM: $PROBLEM

Todays Drupal lesson: Keeping things and filters seperate. It's going to apply to any kind of social media site, but this is a little Drupal specific note.
Every member of School of Everything can add notes, links, videos, images, documents and other things to the site that help people learn or teach a particular subject. If you're learning, you can use it to keep track of your progress in your subjects and all the things that help you learn like useful websites or how-to videos.
If you're teaching, you can share useful resources and advice that you think will help people learn you subjects. You can tag each resource post with one or more subjects, and your posts will appear to other people looking for those subjects.
Don't be shy, say hello. We'd love to hear from you.
