Joomla 1.0 to Joomla 1.5

Sigh, this is going to be a PITA especially for a big website like PGN. I have to pretty much redo most of the work, good thing the core has a migration plug-in though I don’t know if it’ll make it a lot easier.

Google SSL

Oh wow! I never knew there’s a Google SSL beta! If you guys use Google as your primary search engine then I suggest changing that http to https! So now instead of http://www.google.com/ it’s going to be https://www.google.com/. I feel a little bit secure now! Lol, just a little bit. Google SSL if you want to know more about it.

Anyone of you guys having problems with your CSS backgrounds not displaying correctly especially if your page doesn’t fill the whole browser window? I had that problem with PGN’s Chatroom page. Here’s what it looks like, take a look.

Auto Tweet and OpenID

So I know how to auto tweet now and I have my own OpenID. I officially say that I’m awesome. I bet you (the reader) don’t even know that you actually have an OpenID already! Apparently I have several OpenID’s already, and yes I’ve used them and they work just fine (like my Google e-mail). But you know what’s better? I can use rodoabad.joinpgn.com as my OpenID! Wuhoo! Let’s see if this auto tweets.

I Love ScreenGrab!

When I didn’t have this FireFox add-on, it usually takes me a couple of minutes to stitch together a couple of images so that you can see what a website looks like in all its glory (full frame) but now all I have to do is right-click and save it as a Complete Page/Frame from ScreenGrab!

Pligg CMS 1.0.3b Blank Logout Page Fix

I just upgraded from Pligg 1.0.1 to Pligg 1.0.3b and I was having problems logging out. Everytime I logout I get a blank page. Yankidank, founder of Pligg posted new login.php which is supposed to solve the problem. I saved the file for future reference so here it is! Please take note that it goes in the /libs/ directory and not the root (/) directory! You’ll mess up your Pligg install if you do that!

Google Buzz is Awesome!

I logged in today to my Gmail account and I saw a pop-up…something about Google Buzz or whatever. At first I thought it’s just another of those social-network stuff or Twitter-like web apps. Part of me was right but part of me was wrong too…Google Buzz is better! Waaay better! Why? Because I can integrate any website I can (as long as Google recognizes it). I integrated my posts on JoinPGN.com and my post on my blog (this blog!). How awesome is that! As soon as I hit “Publish” in WordPress, I’ll see this post on my Google Buzz.

That’s right. WERD.

My Video Card Just Died

God damn! My HIS 4870 just died on me and I can’t fax the RMA form since it’s Sunday right now and I can only do it on a specific day! Gah. I hope HIS gives me a working one a.s.a.p. since I need my desktop to review games. Sigh…I’m posting on my netbook right now.

ADSDAQ 2010 Sucks

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve changed Ad Networks and I’ve always stayed with ADSDAQ since I can set a high CPM and still get a good fill rate. But lately, my websites have been bombarded with weight loss/teeth whitening ads and trust me on what I am going to say right now…they’re scams. I mean seriously? Come on. Not only are they scams but the ads look so ugly. It’s time to move on…

“libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work” Error

Here’s another error I encountered (I forgot where and when). The problem was that I had the x86_64 or 64 bit version. I fixed it by installing the i386 or 32 bit version as well.

[root@leaf01 ~]# yum install libgcc
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package libgcc-4.3.2-7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[root@leaf01 ~]# yum install libgcc-4.3.2-7.i386

“You’ve run a full marathon with Nike+”

Ooooh yeah baby. Look at my first run, it was a measly .78 miles. I’m doing a constant 5 miles now and the current improvement that I want to do is to make my pacing better. AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGAAAAA. I just want to run guys…that’s all I want to do now on my spare time. Parties? Get out of here. Slacking? Not a chance. Beer? No way. Smoking? Hell no. Drugs? Are you kidding me? I can safely say that I’m slowly getting there.

Check out my Nike+ profile at http://my.nike.com/P4rD0nM3.

Just how fragmented my HDD is?

I got a free license for O&O’s Defrag 10 Pro last year and I intend to use it! I’ve always had this perception that for Vista…’home users’ shouldn’t worry too much about fragmentation since Vista does a good job about it. Here’s O&O’s 1st test.
