in 2009/01/27/404-error-handling/ on Mashable - The Social Media Guide
I have here an article which evaluates several ways of handling 403 and 404 errors on a Drupal site, and some code to help out with what I think is the best way.

By "best", I mean most effective apropos user friendliness coupled with sane use of resources.

To be honest, if you have Drupal properly configured with the right modules, there should be no need for this service at all, as far as I can work out.

in firefox + dropbox = profile synchronization across machines on robzand
Well, I'm assuming the issues are because of there being so many files open at once. We have a lot of SQLite files knocking about, and if these open and then changed, this can play nasty with Dropbox. Mostly it annoys me because the drive never looks synced for that very reason, so if you're waiting for a file to sync but can't close your browser for some reason, you'll never know if it's finished.

I might try again with FF3. I would also like to find a way to change the default directory that Google Gears stores its offline files in, so I could encrypt all of this stuff together on the local drive.

robzand weird things happen when you keep 2 browsers open simultaneously, which, i must admit, i do out of laziness. nonetheless, the quirks are outweighed by the syncrhonization that does occur. to me, this is "good enough software" at its finest

in firefox + dropbox = profile synchronization across machines on robzand
I tried this out with FF2 across two XP machines, and it just didn't work. Menus vanished, dialog boxes were broken, all sorts of stuff. I had the same idea myself, and was sure it would work, but it seems something in the process just "disagrees" with the FF internals... :(

robzand i'll be the first to admit, this is a "good enough" solution. you will experience some "wonkiness" if you keep multiple browsers open simultaneously (which creates conflicts and prevents some config files from being written). if you want a 100% solution, you might try weave. i've been running like this for 6 months and feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. incidentally, the machines i run this across include 2 xp boxes, including my primary work machine, and i have not experienced the issues you list. good luck.

robzand i have been running ff3 though. maybe - for reasons beyond synchronization - you should upgrade?
