So today I am upgrading Joomla 1.0.7 to 1.0.12

The upgrade is pretty simple. I got the package from here and only need to extract it to the joomla directory.

I got two errors as below:

To solve the first error I edited joomla_dir/globals.php. I changed the line

define( 'RG_EMULATION', 1 );

to

define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 );

2. To solve the magic_quotes_gpc error I edited the easy_php_dir/conf_files/php.ini file

and modified the line

magic_quotes_gpc = Off

to

magic_quotes_gpc = On

after playing around with the k800i I've acquired, i must say i am pretty sold. it looks slick and nice, has a great digical camera (Cybershot dude, don play play), plays radio with RDS, nice themes (got myself tux and christmas themes) and best of all, i can synchronize well with my Ubuntu!

The process is not really difficult. Search around for k800i, evolution, bluetooth, ubuntu and you will find this as search result. Fotakis made a pretty good how-to there that enabled me to get it done within 5 minutes. yes, 5 minutes. basically it is as following (for my own reference in future):

guess what? got stuck again with decisions :) i've just got my handphone contract extended, and ended up with a Sony Ericsson K800i instead of the long anticipated N70 (apparently N70 is considered now as an old phone :P even the shops are not carrying it anymore except the updated Music Edition model). So now i am sitting next to it, contemplating what to do with it.

i can either:
1. sell it off in Ebay, and fetch any other phone and earn some bugsbucks out of it.
2. time for a great change. i should now join the SE bandwagon (my two housemates having SE phones, and they are enjoying it every moment).

the decision is hard. i wanted to get something with Series 60 on it, so that i can try to code python on it. But on the other hand, i don really need to get one myself. Been used to a Nokia since 2 years ago (got an unit from the university, since using it for research project) i had actually made a big switch after using siemens phones for some years. Now coming to SE, i have no idea whether is that a nice thing (well, not like it is going to take me weeks to learn new interfaces). But come to think about it, i can actually now run around with two phones :)

After working for a few months on this web project, I think we are finally bringing it to a close.  Had a chance to learn more about PHP through this project and got to know my project manager (my husband) better. SianLun took this project to keep me occupied before I got a job. Did not have much time to work on it after I started working in the University. In fact I do not have much time to do anything else after being employed in the University... sigh... I can understand SianLerk's busyness well.

A company offered us a very good price for the system, but we would need to make it modular enough to be easily customised. I do not think we are going to take the offer not only because we are limited in skills and resources but also because we ( or at least I ) do not agree with the content of the business.

it is again weekend. Not that we have finally nothing to do. a project is gonna be carried out - home server. TzeYing finally got her computer upgrade (mainly for her job) now, so the old trustworthy t20 should be retired to less portable tasks. So i popped in the Ubuntu Dapper CD and after 40 minutes it is up and ready :)

the weekend is still packed with programs. we have shopping to do, and also routine house cleaning. I still have some documents/books to read, and a document to work on. We have a few appointments this two days, and i believe if we planned our time ok, it would still be rather relaxing - i still need some time to recover from my flu.

it is a pretty busy week. quite some things to catch up, and still always feel i would need to get more sleep...

1. One day less - Monday was still a public holiday. so officially the week started only on Tuesday. Looking at the things we have to do - Easter Monday Perki service, Tuesday evening concert with Dresden's Gospel-Night choir, work work work and 1 CSI episode only this week... it is kind of a sign that i need break. btw, CSI episodes can be used to measure how much free time one has :) the more episodes you manage to catch in a week, shows you have the extra time to spend ;)
