The Orange Place of Rich

Yes I now have a week off........in theory.........unless something seriously fails........or breaks.......but thinking positively..........I have a week off.

I've been very busy as usual but have burned out recently so need the break and to deal with a few things that usually carry a lesser priority. (Like updating this site).

So yeah I may post some stuff, I may even replace the site completely and move to Wordpress. (I only use this site for blogging so having a wordpress based site may make this easier).

Other then that I have some paper work to catch up with and photos to digitally process.

I tried to rescue it but due to the lack of facilities I couldn't rescue it.

Originally this was going to be an article about backing up mobile phone and using these techniques to not only backup your phone but to provide productivity tools for small and medium enterprises. (SMEs)

This turned out to be a very large article so I decided to separate these articles into.

Technical – Backing up your mobile phone

And

Technical – Blackberry on the cheap, OTA for the rest of us.

So click on read more to see why and how to back up data on a mobile phone :-).

Bless the Opensourcegeek. He saves me having to type up content of my own

He has a very interesting article on his first steps into cloud computing.

Can be found at http://opensourcegeek.org/2009/05/11/first-steps-in-the-cloud/comment-page-1/#comment-27

What? I only just realised that? No.

Compared to some of the new and recently (in the last year) face lifted personal sites it is starting to look a bit of a mess , even my RSS feeds are ugly.

I know the way forward to resolve this as well, all I need to do is:

Migrate the site from Joomla 1.x to 1.5.x
Upgrade all the components and bridges that the site uses to latest versions that work with Joomla 1.5.x
Decide on a new layout with new menus.
Find a new Template and modify if required.
Heavy testing on the site to ensure that all works as expected.
Put new site on this domain. Put the word Beta on the site so people excuse any bugs.

And all the above takes quite a bit of time, which is the problem.

Also this site doesn't get the amount of content I would like. I'm trying but again a lack of time is causing this.

Hopefully the site will get better during the course of the year
