Well, if seeing another computer howtos/tips/tricks site makes you queasy, don't check out this site:

Part 1 - What I did:
I would like to say I made this site in a few hours, not even an afternoon, w/ less than a pot of coffee, without hacking a single line of code, and I still don't know what a php function is. :0)
Drupal... what else is there? (PHP, why aren't you free?)
Here's the list of modules I have installed on a Drupal 4.7.2 site:
+ path and pathauto (praise be to those names)
+ tagadelic (makes me feel like it's 2006)
+ aggregator2-cvs (you're taking over my life and obsoleting my work :-)
+ aggregator2_autotaxonomy (icing on the cake)
+ zeitgeist (however you say it, it's my friend for life)
+ story (where would we be without our drupal story)
+ comment (enough said)
+ menu (cause you make my life easy)
+ ping (while it lasts?)
+ search (shinier than ever, slave to us all, we all love to search)
+ taxonomy (i wish i could understand all of you)
+ throttle (i hope i don't need you too soon)
+ trackback_blackhole (sure thing, boss)
+ tracker (faithful and pure)
+ urlfilter (without you, i would not go on)
+ spam (yes, the bsd --choke! cough! gag!-- crucial time/life-saver)
+ contented7 theme (dynamite!)
Are we ready to take over the..... uh.. yeah. So, how about those mods?
Part 2 - What I still want to do:
