It looks like I may have successfully written an alpha “migrator plug-in” that may work for migrating your com_google_maps component from Joomla 1.0.x to 1.5.
Once I have tested this on the internal testbed migration sites for one of my customers, I will write it up here.
This will be useful since the developer of the Google Maps API for joomla has no current migration plugins.
Stay tuned….
If you are using OpenBSD to host your wordpress installation, and using the Akismet plug-in to block spam, you may come across set-up problems with Akismet.
The errors that can occur could be either or both of these:
There may be a couple of issues here.

So you want to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard? This has probably been written about by every man and his cat, but here is my experience and the optimal installation sequence - as written by a late-comer to the Leopard gang.

I took the plunge and decided to upgrade to Mac OS 10.5 a.k.a. Leopard this weekend. Here’s how it went…
Initially I made sure I had two full cloned and boot-able backups that I made with CCC. After this I actually tried booting off them just to make sure. Having backups before such a major upgrade is a mandatory step for all people whom undertake any OS upgrade.
Secondly I decided on the upgrade path. I plopped in the 10.5 DVD (Family pack!) and kicked off the upgrade.
At this point all looked fine, but this is where the initial problem occurred. People had said 10.5.0 was unstable, but I had thought I could at least login and kick off the 10.5.2 combo update. How wrong I was.
The combination of a Powerbook G4, and and upgrade from 10.4.11 -> 10.5.0 rendered the OS unusable.
I had heard rumours of this sort of thing, but I had not expected it. Finder would lock up on login and no amount of coaxing, safe mode, or anything else worked.
So I tested my external clone once more to make sure I could boot off it, and took the plunge. ERASE AND INSTALL.
I have a short video I took of the Somewhere in Time Tour. It’s from the Powerslave guitar solo as played in Sydney. If you were at either of the events this should bring back some good memories!

On a side note, some bloke taped a bootleg copy of the 9th Feb show - you can get it while you can, but I can’t condone that.
