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..

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.
