Did your Joomla upgrade to 2.5.0 from 1.7.3...

Here is some updated (and hopefully helpful) information. I have been testing the 1.7.3 to 2.5.0 update on http://works.mihaimoga.com/ and here is what I have found so far. 1. It appears that, if the update can be completed in less than 2 minutes exactly, it works ok. If the update takes longer than 2 minutes, you get Internal Server error and it is aborted at that point. 2. The state of your...

Chuck Moore on the Lost Art of Keeping It Simple →

Why it is so tempting to solve a problem we don’t really have? First, one doesn’t understand the problem initially and thinks it’s more difficult than it is. In the course of solving the problem, one learns about it. But in the rush of completing it, never re-examines the premises, rewrites and simplifies. This is not a small omission; code can be an orders of magnitude too elaborate. ...

Andy Rooney on Women Over Forty

As I grow in age, I value women who are over forty most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over forty will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think. If a woman over forty doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it’s usually something more...

Joke of the day

 As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being female (e.g., "Steady as she goes", or "She's listing to starboard, Captain!").
Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced that computers should also be referred to as being female. Their reasons for drawing this conclusion follow: 
Five reasons to believe computers are female: 
 1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
 3. The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you".
 4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
 5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think that computers should be referred to as if they were male. Their reasons follow: 
Five reasons to believe computers are male: 
 1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
 2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
 3. As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model.
 4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
 5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.

Joke of the day

 A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."
 He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.
 The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero" The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.
 The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.
 The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want." Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back into his pocket.
 Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
 The man said, "Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."

Joke of the day

 Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"
 The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."
 The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
