Basically, the module allows administrators of subdomains to do admin tasks without requiring sitewide permissions. We developed it for our websites srichinmoyraces.org and srichinmoycentre.org. These sites have subdomains for each country (50 for Sri Chinmoy Centre, 40 for Sri Chinmoy Races) and we wanted to give the website editors in each country as much flexibility over their own sites as possible, whilst still keeping each site as a harmonious whole.

I thought about it again recently, and started searching around for some application for my Mac that would toll the hour, so I could break of from what I was doing and meditate. It didn’t take me long to find Cuckoo – it basically installs itself in your System Preference pane. For an extra $6 you can get all kinds of extra bells and whistles, but the free version has what I need, a ding dong sound to mark the hour. (Note: the ‘Campanile’ tone seems custom-made for hourly meditation. Maybe in some future version they’ll even put in some Tibetan bells or an Aum chant to further make my day. )

Eventually, many of these modules will find their way onto drupal.org, but here’s a good place to put them until that happens
