im not going to say to much as i dont want people knowing what im up2 at the moment
but im using some various modules some which i have to pay for as off the shelf is sometimes faster and better than coding up – now some modules which involve joomla are pay for items now some items you pay for and go for support and im amazed at the support offered before i even part with any money – some others you pay and im happy but need some support for bugs they either ask you to pay them? read the forums? or wait till the next release!! you ask for any directions to be pointed in IE some decent link to help fix the problem and the only direction i get is -> up your kazza get your money out were still ironing out bugs?!!
im very disapointed with two companies but so happy with another i guess you cant expect great service from every coding company – ive got another company ive been talking to and the only way to get pre-sales support just as your going to buy the product is from there forums??? how shit is that?
why would you want to get tied up in some half cut company who diverts you to a shitty forum for help!! some of them are charging masses of money and some little but the support scope is either shite or great. All i can say is ill be naming and shaming 
i hold no hostages.
first facebook change there layout thats meant to be easier

weird wordpress
i always thought microsoft were dumb for some of the dependencies etc etc
but for ati not to let you install a video driver unless you have .net installed now this is just plain dumb
linux is soooo much coooler.
again jellybean to the rescue got another laptop for reinstall with the serial number ripped of the bottom! which I think is like that for a reason as it looks like a good idea but still easy to wear the serial number of so then the users who dont know how to get the serial –> yes buy another
shame on microsoft for the licence that they sting you for.
Luckily enough I can get into safe mode in the this virus ridden OS and run jelly bean which shows me the serial number then I can reinstall – its like setting up a lamb for the slaughter!
After figuring out the worn serial number was not XP and vista i proceeded to install vista after making a slipstreamed XP home and pro disk! the serial number wouldnt work on both installs of course with it being a vista serial !
anyway you dont need a sata driver for vista but after the install you will have problems with the wireless network card as there was something wrong with the bios so the wireless shows in device manager after a restore not from a proper reinstall!
anyway booted of a ubuntu disk which told me it was realtek 8187b which is available on the toshiba site with about another 6 drivers which is a pain as you would think it would be intel with the rest of he drivers being intel!!
any way its here
then i just clicked on the flagged video driver and it installed the correct intel video driver and warned me it might not be from the right provider but its direct from intel so go for it! it then updated the driver so happy days
Ubuntu just worked out of the box all drivers and all programs
again linux kills a windows install.
Problems installing XP pro on a toshiba equium because no hardisk
then we have to make a custom XP disk with the sata drivers slipstreamed in
as you have no floppy and you cant switch the drive to standard ATA in the bios because its not in the bios!
so you to download nlite here
and download the sata drivers here
Install nlite / run nlite
Put in standard XP home disk – and tell nlite thats were the install files are
Then create a empty folder and select that for the destination
Select the driver option and create iso option
it then will ask you for the driver location you can select single file of folder
if you unzip the driver ive attached and just select the folder then click next
it will then ask were you want the ISO or burn direct to a cd
I just made the ISO on my usb drive as i was in a virtualbox on my mac
I then burnt the ISO with burn on the mac
Now ive got sata during the install
Make sure you keep and disks you get when you buy a new computer
Usually drivers are built into the restore disks which can save loads of hassle.
IT staff need to start changing the owner names!!

Just ordered the W600 tri band mobile phone watch – I got one in black they also have black and silver or black with a gold rimmed face?? sack that! They do a quad band for another £20ish and thats called the DS800 – They come with built in camera – contacts – MP3 – movie player. The SWAP watch is a expensive version of the w600 which is like £250 which basically has the same internals but just in a nicer case.
Should be here in a few days so ill do a full review……
Im just moving service providers and phone provider and have a 20 day switch over – so I purchased a mifi adapter which I blogged about below. One of the problems stated was it wont let email relay out for my domain name. So ive had to use webmail provided to me from my hosting company. The choices i have are Horde – SquirrelMail and RoundCube. Ive always used horde as being a kolab user it comes bundled with it.. horde it pretty lean and has other features including mail – tasks and its very configurable probably a bit over the top for someone who isnt very technical – one of its good points is a white list and blacklist for killing spam now SquirrelMail on the other hand is very cut down and very lean it comes with address book and you can see your imap folders, you can add a signature and thats about it! id say not very nice to look at but does the job fast. Roundcube now this is basically the same as squirrelmail very cut down with the same features address book and signature and access to imap folders, no tasking or calendars but it looks great – i like the option Focus browser window on new message! so if your looking for lots of features go for horde if you want cut down go for squirrelmail if you want it more pleasing on the eye without all the tasking and other productivity addons roundcube is great.
