Alternate installation method using links to provide flexibility and easier upgrades

I have been organizing my sites using the below method for some time. I just wrote a page documenting it. I was wondering if anyone else would find this helpful. If so, I would be willing to donate it to the documentation team. At any rate, I'd like to hear people's comments, both positive but especially negative ones.
I'll post a message to the docs team to point them at this page. You may also view this at http://software.davidlark.net/node/34 .

Restricted Access User album module

Hi folks

I've searched but haven't found what I am looking for. Hopefully someone can offer some advice on which direction to take.

I want to be able to upload files to my site, create a user that is to be the owner of these files, then have that user be able to login and download these files (image files mostly).
Obviously, only the user for which the files are intended is able to access them. It would be great to present the files in a thumbnail gallery type view for the user when they access the site to download them too.

Any advice is appreciated.

Changing styles for dynamic pages. Fixed

Does anyone know how I can modify styles on dynamically generated page. I created calendar and it's not fitting into three columns I'm using for the rest of the site. So I would like to make middle column wider and just hide the right column.

I think I can just create a block and place it on that page with css styles that can override main styles, but I don't know if there is a better solution, like a way to target that page ( calendar/month ) page using jquery or create separate page just for that one view? Thank you.

IBM style Print, Share, Social bookmark button on side of webpage

Vertical bar with print/share button:
Please visit http://www.ibm.com/solutions/us/en/?lnk=mhso00 to see what I mean.

On the right side you will notice the vertical bar with Print, E-mail, social bookmarks buttons, it also scrolls down with you, pretty neat and does not get in the way of content or take real estate space on your website.

Is there a module or a way I can do this?

I'm using Drupal 7.

Thank you!
Siko
