Drupal: Using node and user information in block code
2008-01-07 10:52:00 This is for Drupal 5, don’t know if it works also in version 6. Usually block content is not related to the currently displayed node.

Multithreaded programming in D
2007-06-08 11:39:00 While in C++ there was no build-in threading support, D comes with a JAVA-like class “Thread ”.
