Roll your own Joomla Templates
22 May 2007I am developing a web-site for a business. A really simple web presence with some Content Management. I am yet to fully convince the Business Owner that a CMS will be so beneficial to customers, but I am already using Joomla for the site, so we have one in place. I used the DocMan extension for Mambo/Joomla to cover document content and access control for the published documents. After some initial headaches with that, I sorted the issues out (to be blogged some other time I suppose) and started looking around the net for free templates.
Statement of intent (aka Information overload)
14 May 2007Evo Terra aptly describes what all information connected people have gone through. You know how it feels when you just can’t catch up on your podcasts, or RSS feeds? Evo is going through this right now and is about to get out his “CyberMachete”. I have even removed Slice of Scifi from my podcasts when information overloaded, but it always seems to return.

Upgrade complete
08 May 2007The WordPress upgrade went painlessly, and now I am all up to date and back online. V2.1.3 works fab, and all the plugins were compatible.
Clearcase vs CVS
07 May 2007I recently starting using Clearcase for versioning, at work. I come from a CVS background, so initially found it to be cumbersome. For example, here is how i added a file to the repository:
CVS method:
<br /> <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23" class="tweet-hashtag">#</a> Change to your already checked out working folder<br /> cd /your/working/dir<br /> <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23" class="tweet-hashtag">#</a> list folder contents, will see checked out working files<br /> ls -l<br /> <a href="http://search.
A new name – Tech Debug
05 May 2007I have finally purchased a new domain name, and here we are: <techdebug.com>. The old one still works, and will be setup to redirect to this one (its the same server, just a proper domain name).
The reason for this move and name change? Some guy had bought up a bunch of domain names, and parked digitalrss.com. He was willing to sell it to me, asking $100USD plus fees, so a quick trip to <godaddy.
WoW, BC and real life
03 May 2007Listening to Starman talk about his Arcane/Frost spec on worldofwarcast makes me want to hurry up and get a move on in this game. I’ve played the game since it came out in 2004, and my main char is a lvl 49 arcane mage, so why can’t I make it past lvl 60, and why can’t I even get into to the outlands? (I have the expansion).
Life.. that’s why. Family and a full time job too…
