Google Phone: It’s real

Posted on by

The long awaited google phone is finally materializing and today Google gave them to its employees to test out:

Google Releases Experimental Phone to Employees:

This is the phone I want. I need an unlocked phone, with data plan only, can run Skype to make calls, to be open-source based, can run Java. Google phone looks like, finally, my dream phone.

I like iphone/ipod, but I do not like the way that all is prepriotary. I don’t want to buy another pc/notebook to develop iphone apps running in a mystery OS uisng Object C. Wifi and Skype do not work well too. I hate they exclude Java programs from their OS and Steve Jobs’s rediculous comments about Java.

Did I mention that you can use your sd card to expand your storage without paying bigger bucks? Better than iPhones too!

regramding

Shame on me… I created a task in my Outlook named “regramding” that was due Friday morning at 8 am and I could not recall what that means!

I don’t know what I have missed but I just could not remember what this note is about. It is a mistery what I had missed and what this task/reminder is… No shortcut next time and a lesson learned.

Change domain name for joomla/virtuemart

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

It’s easy for Joomla itself (at its global config within online admin interface) but tricky for embedded virtuemart. Annoying thing is, after the domain name change you can not access config page online via admin interface.

Here is the file you have to make the changes to make virtuemart work after domain name change: (Remember you have to know what your folder your Joomla points to)

/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php:

// these path and url definitions here are based on the Joomla! Configuration
define( ‘URL’, ‘http://newdomain.com/’ );
define( ‘SECUREURL’, ‘http://newdomain.com/’ );

After that all is set with your embedded virtuemart.

Apps to avoid

Rankings by authoritylabs: tried several times, each time I got it took too long to get results and then busted. A crappy app not worthy of even trying it

Talked with Hows this afternoon. He did not care how much we teach there in his discovery point locations, but he wants his kids to have fun and show off to other kids-to him, this is a viral marketing.

Had a long conversation with niu laoshi about the program and we’ll also do more research in how to make program more fin in day care setting.

A busy day

Looks like a busy day. First fixed a build issue, later have to determine the priority to add a new smtp dashboard module into main dashboard. Then I had to fix bugs to the srm module I work on while I found out that glassfih did not start properly in my dev box. It did not show our ui as usual but shows the glassfish default screen instead!
