Data Portability: Glad to see this is being worked on!

I was just hoping to find something like this as a solution now, but at least a solution is coming….

clipped from www.downloadsquad.com Data Portability explained in video Posted Jan 15th 2008 5:00PM by Romeo Wahed Filed under: Developer, Internet, Productivity, Social Software, web 2.0 There has been a lot of buzz about Data Portability with newcomers like Facebook and Plaxo joining, but you might still be wondering what exactly all this means in the big picture. Well, Michael Pick of Smashcut Media has been kind enough to create a little piece that attempts to put everything into perspective and what the Data Portability movement is about. If we’re allowed to take one random stab at what’s in store for the future, this is probably going to be the first major component of Web 3.0. Since it looks like a lot of barriers that prevent users from integrating services will be removed, the focus will continue to shift towards content and usability. Chances are good that this is going to really bring in the competition – start-ups

Install from 1.5RC4 to 1.5stable done!

unzipping seems to work fine for this install. Good notes on this at the joomla forums. Especially no problem if no original templates have been modified. Unzip to install, then do as the clip says: remove thy install folder.

Upgrading to 1.5 Stable (Joomla)

clipped from forum.joomla.org Yes, you can overwrite all file just unpacked the file of stable package or you can find the different between RC4 package and stable package with a comparison software (likes meld for linux and winmerge for windows) and overwrite only the different files. In the upgrading tutorial you can read that there isn’t difference in database between RC4 and stable version. If you do this your site will upgrade to stable version. Remember make a backup before. I updated my Joomla! 1.5RC4 with stable package and now it works very well. I overwrite all file. I verified that there wasn’t difference in databases between 1.5RC4 and 1.5stable (see installation/sql/mysql/diff.sql). 1.5RC4 to 1.5 stable « on: Today at 04:52:05 AM » i have read this upgrading tutorial : http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_to_1.5_Stable But where is the download link of the patch 1.5RC4 to 1.5 Stable ?

So, how evil is Facebook, really?

clipped from www.guardian.co.uk With friends like these … I despise Facebook. This enormously successful American business describes itself as “a social utility that connects you with the people around you”. But hang on. Why on God’s earth would I need a computer to connect with the people around me? Why should my relationships be mediated through the imagination of a bunch of supergeeks in California? What was wrong with the pub? In the main, they simply sit back and watch as millions of Facebook addicts voluntarily upload their ID details, photographs and lists of their favourite consumer objects. Once in receipt of this vast database of human beings, Facebook then simply has to sell the information back to advertisers, or, as Zuckerberg puts it in a recent blog post, “to try to help people share information with their friends about things they do on the web”. And indeed, this is precisely what’s happening. On November 6 last year, Facebook announced that 12 global brands had climbed on board.

I use Facebook every day now. I’m pretty well hooked. But this article, which talks about the intellectual pedigree (Girard), political sympathies (“Thatcherite”) and financial connections (the CIA) of its board, gives me the creeps in a big way.

Nielsio and Poetry

A heart that’s full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won’t heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don’t, they don’t speak for us.
I’ll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silent.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises, please
