Aha! It IS possible to remove armrests from Steelcase Leap chairs. I'm a bit short so they weren't working out quite right.
I couldn't figure out how to do it, but finally got a pdf of instructions from the manufacturer. See attached. Hope this helps a fellow sufferer...

jQuery .serialize() returns empty string

In case anyone else runs into this:
I kept hitting my head, wondering why jQuery's serialize() would return an empty string for my form.
The reason was that I hadn't specified name attributes ( I was only using IDs ) for form elements, as I was dealing with the form via AJAX and hadn't had a reason to need them.

red5node alpha release
Submitted by benl on Tue, 12/29/2009 - 22:54
Attached is the first alpha release of red5node, a little present for the holidays for any drupal webcam developer :)
Unlike the pre-alpha released earlier, this one should be as secure as the components it stands upon- Drupal, Flex, Services & AMFPHP. If you see how it isn't please let me know as I'd like to address it.
The major differences from the prior release are behind the scenes but very substantial- namely fixing gaping security holes. Please try this module out now.
no drupal taxonomy support for drag-and-drop admin of free tagging vocabularies
I have a free-tagging vocabulary but can only get table drag hierarchy ability on admin/content/taxonomy/ [[vocab-id]] when the checkbox for "tags" is checked in the settings fieldset of admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/ [[vocab-id]]
I posted this question to drupal.org here but no responses.

OK. So for anyone else having this issue, when Adobe decides to piss on us Linux Flash developers again:
This time it was making my Flex Builder Alpha expire. First it took hours ( and two unhelpful Adobe reps ) to realize that there was a new alpha available for Flex. I thought they were trying to make me buy a license. So I figured, oh, cool, it'll be a cinch to upgrade. But I was incorrect.

UPDATE - NEWER RELEASE AVAILABLE - GO HERE
Well, I don't know about you, but I don't like it when Drupal modules are released with closed-source SWF files - especially when the SWF file comprises the core of the module.
