now you can proceed in installing vmware-tools
I just got informed by Mozilla Thunderbird that it had finished downloading an update for 2.0.0.16 and asked if it should exit Thunderbird and run the update. I answered yes and it exited Thunderbird and started the update. It went something like 25% of the progressbar before it stopped and told me that it couldn’t update some of the files and that I had to quit Thunderbird. I checked my processlist and I couldn’t see Thunderbird or anything like that in the processlist so I started quiting some applications that where running on my system. When I exited quickcam.exe in the tray area and tried to start Thunderbird it went right through so it looks like Logitech’s quickcam.exe is doing something tricky with some of the files that Thunderbird uses. I’ve not bothered to do any more investigation on this since I just have to quit that one before I run the update so I just hope that I remember this until next time.. 
Finally I finished the design and setup of my old site, p-ds.no this site will be used for misc projects and my business. Not sure what to fill the pages with tho.. At least it will contain information about the projects I’m part of and some of the components and modules I’ve been working on and still are working with for Joomla sites. At the current time this is JoomTrac, AdsManager, JDirectory and PaidSystem. Right now I’m also trying to get a working copy of CB_JDirectory to work, this is a plugin for Community Builder so that you can show content in JDirectory that belongs to the user in question in a list in the profile view. Right now this one is only working for the first initial directory that is made when installing JDirectory, but I’m working on getting this to be directory aware so that if the user has content in more than one directory you will be able to see them in the list as well, either sorted by directory in the same list or in different views or tabs. A bit depending on the Community Builder tab system. At least it’s a work in progress.
I’ve been Googling for a solution on how to get Trac and Joomla! to work together without too much work. The best thing would be a Joomla! Trac bridge, but I’ve not succeeded in finding something like that. I’ve found some partly information about how to get Joomla! authenticated users to be accepted by Trac as authenticated but nothing about how to get Joomla! and Trac to share their user database. So I started poking around with different Trac settings and I suddenly found that Mandriva Linux had a package named trac-mysql which makes Trac capable of connecting to a MySQL database instead of a SQLite database so I started to search for a way to migrate from SQLite to MySQL and I got several hits on Google but as all you guys searching for things regarding Trac on Google is almost 99% pointless since it will show a hit for every Trac powered site in the world which is open for web crawlers. But after a couple of misses on the first page of hits I found one: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SqLiteToMySql on Tracs own homepage :$ Why didn’t I just start searching there you can ask, but I thought I had read every possible page both in my local Trac setup and Tracs main page which wasn’t correct.

Have been building a playhouse for the kids this weekend..
Almost like an Ikea flat package..
The layout of the frame to build it on.
The finished product.
Got a bit sunburned during the building process as well.. heh.
Then my youngest daughter finally got her 4 years birthday.. Celebrating on Gaupen today and we couldn’t been luckier. The weather was great, sunny and almost not a cloud to see.. 
Da var det endelig den yngste sin tur til å fylle år, 4 år. Ferier på Gaupen i dag og vi kunne ikke vært heldigere med været, skikkelig sol og omtrent skyfri himmel så langt man kan se..
I’ve been experimenting with Google Apps for a month now on brumoen.net, and I’ve also helped Thomas over at JoomProd.com setting up Google Apps for joomprod.com, bebecalin.net and mariage33.com with great success. So now both of us are using Google Apps to handle our mail services. A lot easier and resource saving for our servers. The great thing about Google Apps is that you are allowed to setup 100 user accounts with the free plan, they have a pay plan and a plan for non-profit organizations and schools as well. (more…)
A small update about bytt.no, this web portal is still alive, but we should get some more traffic in there so that even more people get to know about the concept. I’m currently working on a new design and a new exchange module, if everything goes like planned it will be published in the end of the summer vacation.
Bare en liten oppdatering om bytt.no, den nett-portalen lever, men vi skulle hatt litt mer trafikk inne der sånn at flere folk blir klar over konseptet. For tiden så driver jeg å jobber med et nytt design og en ny byttemodul i det skjulte.. Hvis ting går som det skal så vil dette bli lansert i slutten av sommerferien.
Well it’s time for some changes.. 
I decided to drop the Drupal CMS “blog” I used to have, it still lives for those who wants to read my old posts, but this is now my new “home” on the net.
More info to come when I get comfortable with this WordPress system..
