ubuntu intrepid

My move from using kde for over seven years back to gnome on ubuntu has been a breeze!
I always thought kde was more slick - more integrated and generally more good apps available.
Well i first tried putting kde 3.5.9 on the asus 701 then i upgraded to kde 4 which killed it! so upgraded the ram which didnt make a lot of difference so i thought id try gos - google operating system which i thought it used its own desktop, basically the install was greatand i could immediatly see the speed difference. I noticed it was gnome desktop with the google tools added.
So when i moved my domain to google and bought the google phone i tied all my apps - calendar contacts into google. I installed the new version of ubuntu intrepid with the latest evolution which connects to gnome tied in all my apps together with full contact and calendar sync and the speed and slick operation of gnome. Ive had to try various apps for music and / ftp and torrenting etc. But now i have settled nicely having found all applications that are required. Gnome is by far more integrated - more stable - more polished I dont know what i was thinking - my next blog will show my recommended applications - take my word for it gnome and evolution rock!
Ubuntu is ready for business and the world :-)

Google Apps

Seeing im getting the G1 google phone in the morning i thought id set myself up a google account as its part of the requirements - Basically when you add a date a contact it autmatically puts them into your google account. Which for one backs the data up for you so if you losse your phone no worries!! You can give people access to read your calendar & i added the settings into my kontact to sync my calendar dates (you need gcaldeamon).
Any way i was just setting all this up when i fell across google bookmarks!
Well i host my own sitebar which is a bookmark mananger its good but a bit of hassle to add bookmarks. With google bookmarks you plug a extension into firefox add the bookmark icon to firefox - Sign in and start adding bookmarks!! easy so all your bookmarks are kept on line so handy if you move around computers - plus you can edit the bookmarks and folders easily from firefox or go to your home page - igoogle - yep thats another bit of kit to investigate…
Need to start looking at shares…!!

Lancaster Computer Site Update

I decided to change the whole lancaster computers site and changed over from joomla 1.0 to the joomla 1.5 version. No there is a big difference between the two and certain plugins wont work as they are not available for the 1.5 version so you basically can plug the old modules etc into the 1.5 but you have to run it in legacy mode then. I used to use joomla stats and thought its pointless running in legacy mode and run te risk of security breaches so i added the google analytics for my web site stats which is probably better than joomla stats anyway! Well the main difference i do see is the optimisation options which are much better, the interface itself id say is harder to use but thats because im used to the joomla 1.0 version i suppose and will get used to the joomla 1.5 version. The module and com installer is different as you just have one installer now which can install from a local package on the machine or from a url which is handy, were we used to have three installers for modules etc which was a bit messy. Id say its a move for the best give it a shot take a look at http://www.joomla.org
