a day in the life of wayne ward….

ive just took the plunge and thought id try google chrome on the mac.. after using firefox from version one its been a while but sometimes nice for a change!! I can say the install was easy but isnt it always on a mac?… the gui is very simplistic and i like this a lot. Now the extensions i needed were mostly for SEO which i found some great ones actually better than the ones i had loaded before! i also found a great little ebay extenesion and a shareaholic extension which lets me post to multiple site! plugged in a nice little search bar and a pretty neat wordpress extension which is handy for fast blogs.. i found the usual digg / delicious and stumble upon extensions and of course xmarks which brought in all my bookmarks which id been syncing with the firefox xmarks extension.. alexa plugin works well so extensions 10/10 !! browser speed and rendering 10/10
so id say go for it ! i love firefox for being a great browser and certainly better than internet explorer – for lots of reasons including security!!!…

give is a whirl… available for windows and apple mac and linux!!!!!!! i just love multiplatform

Get chrome here

here is one i found a bit of a task to figure out after ive administered apache web servers for like ever – a joomla install with search engine friendly urls on zeus!!
its like this rename the htaccess to old.htaccess.bak
make a file called rewrite.script
and pop in the following text

RULE_0_START:
# get the document root
map path into SCRATCH:DOCROOT from /
# initialize our variables
set SCRATCH:ORIG_URL = %{URL}
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = %{URL}

# see if theres any queries in our URL
match URL into $ with ^(.*)?(.*)$
if matched then
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = $1
set SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING = $2
endif
RULE_0_END:

RULE_1_START:
# prepare to search for file, rewrite if its not found
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME = %{SCRATCH:DOCROOT}
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME . %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}

# check to see if the file requested is an actual file or
# a directory with possibly an index. don’t rewrite if so
look for file at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
if not exists then
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
if not exists then
set URL = /index.php?q=%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
goto QSA_RULE_START
endif
endif

# if we made it here then its a file or dir and no rewrite
goto END
RULE_1_END:

QSA_RULE_START:
# append the query string if there was one originally
# the same as [QSA,L] for apache
match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with ?(.*)$
if matched then
set URL = %{URL}&%{SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING}
endif
goto END
QSA_RULE_END:

upload the file to the root of the website
and enable all the Set all the items to yes in seo settings in global configuration in admin
even use apache mod_rewrite

test your sef pages work correctly !! worked for me

Well haven’t blogged on my iPhone for a while :-0
Pretty damn handy if your on the kazi!
Some led zep playing away aswell quality!
Been busy as hell today plenty of onsite work
Got some bills to sort then I’m going to make a new band poster – I just know this is going to be hard but I know I can find the right musicians to create this powerful new project
I’m going to take what I’ve been playing around at for a few years to the next level – the time has come I hope this town is ready for this – cause it’s time to unleash the power….
Just hope I can find the right musicians around here …

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
