Laptop Upgrade

I just upgraded my Neo 330SXEi laptop's memory to 1GB last night, DDR1 333 PC2700 @P6.5k

I tested and opened memory sucking applications simultaneously such as delphi, dreamweaver, photoshop, xampp, multiple tabs @ ie & firefox, ym, acrobat, etc.... Whoosh! So fast, works like a core duo now!

Club Astoria


won accomodation 8days, 7nights.. choose from Bali, Indonesia; Mexico; or USA...

Its another marketing strategy from the Astoria plaza hotel owners here in Ortigas, Manila, Philippines where they call you and offer you dinner for two on their hotel, then tour you on their hotel facilities, then surprise you for a one-on-one talk just like 'Family First'. What I hate about this is not telling you the whole story or agenda. Its a waste of time for you and them. It would be rude to turn them down after giving you a dinner, right? Bottom line is you have to decide after the one-on-one marketing talk. I really don't know if thats good or bad. It has pros and cons.

Any way, they'll still gonna give you the accommodation as gifts. But there's a deadline for reservation and use. You also have to make a P5k down payment, to be reimbursed to you after the trip.

Well, its up to us if we're going to use it or not.

some of my common reference

just documenting some of the things i refer to, so i can trash my hard copy..

Solved Problem: joomla docman component problem in windows

I encoutered a problem in docman 1.3R2 component of joomla! in windows which i don't in linux.

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare themeConfig:details_homepage in ***/components/com_docman/themes/default/themeConfig.php on line 36, referer: ***

go to that themeConfig.php file and see this:

32 var $details_updated = "1";^M
33 var $details_homepage = "1";^M
34 var $details_crc_checksum = "0";^M
35 var $details_md5_checksum = "0";^M
36 var $details_homepage = "1";^M
37 var $task_details = "1";^M

Line 36 is a duplicate of line 33, so I simply remove line 36 and save the file. DOCMan works great afterward.
