I wrote up a brief article, with some screen shots, showing the relational passwords database I made in FileMaker Pro.

For a long time I'd been using a quickie flat file database I made, but once I started using Drupal a few years ago, I really needed a relational database to store the many accounts/passwords needed with managing domains.

If you're the master of a domain which uses Drupal, you have the MySQL (or postgreSQL) ID/password to track, you have the first account ID/password to track, maybe you have accounts for each role, to test them, you probably have email for that account and need to keep track of the information for POP/SMTP, and etc… If you know what I'm talking about, you may already have a system worked out, but maybe my database will be useful anyway. :-)

Anyone who has a social network or is attempting to improve it or start a new online community will benefit from David Silver's new book "The Social Network Business Plan: 18 Strategies That Will Create Great Wealth."

Don't be turned off by the title. This is not a book about technology. Instead it deals with the issues and challenges that need to be addressed to build and maintain successful online social networks from the perspective of an investor. Wealth is broadly defined here not only in monetary terms, but in providing benefits to the users in a community by helping companies and government to provide better products and services.

Ok Guys/Gals ,

I can confirm one thing. www.recovery.gov is on drupal.

We were able to put this pretty fast and in the coming months you are going to see how its going evolve.
A lot of dynamic data would be posted there, and you will see a more powerful website on drupal soon.

There are many things which were not done, which could have been done. But I assure you will see them soon.
Keep giving your ideas and suggestions to improve this website.

Thanks,

Recovery.gov Development Team
