Firefox error: OCSP Stapling Failing Intermittently
For a couple of weeks, we had wrestled with a sec_error_ocsp_unauthorized_request error on our site in Firefox.
The error only appeared intermittently and for a short time. That made it difficult to replicate and to debug.
To top it all off, we couldn't find any documentation from anyone experiencing the same issue. So, now that we've finally resolved the issue, we figured we should write up the solution, in the hope that it might save someone else hours of debugging.

The Drupal 8 Beginner Class is Here and is Free
Congratulations to the Drupal community. Today, they released Drupal 8!
It has been an epic journey to get here. Back in March 2011, we sat in the audience at DrupalCon Chicago and listened to Dries' plans for Drupal 8. To get from Chicago to today has taken over 1770 days, 3000 contributors and 350,000 lines of code.
Drupal 8 is far larger, more powerful and more modern than anything Drupal has released before.

How to Remove Unused Drupal Modules
Over the last few years we've had a wide variety of questions about removing Drupal modules, including these:
Do I need to remove modules via the admin or the file system?
Do uninstalled modules leave database entries behind?
Can I just disable a module, rather than completely uninstall it?
Should I uninstall Drupal core modules when I see that option?
