Yestarday I was fighting with Joomla CMS since I needed to move website from server to another which had different version of MySQL. The old was running with version 3.23 and the new one on version 4.0.
There's some differences in field definitions so the mysqldump didn't loaded correctly to the new database. I got it working as easy as copying the database files from the old to the new server and all were working just fine, or was it...
Everything was working just fine in the website, but the article listing gave error "There are no items to display". I was sure that it had something to do with the database "import" since I had excatly same version of Joomla installed on the new server as I had in the old one. Finally I noticed that the new server was running on past and after setting the date to correct all worked well.

New Fon Access Point
I received yesterday the new Fon access point which was bundled to same deal with the SMC WiFi Skype phone. This new version of Fon access points is working perfectly with the phone, so good that I didn't returned it as I was planning.
The new access point seems to be much more well designed than the old Linksys switch / access point. For example this includes two different wireless lans, one which is for the Fon and it's using their authentication. Another is using WPA so I can now use only one physical device since before I needed to have two, one to provide the Fon connection and another with WPA for my own laptops.
Also the configuration is now done in their website and the device is retrieving the configuration changes and upgrades from Fon servers every 24 hours or in every restart.
I will take keep the new access point at home and I'm going to install the old one to our office to offer wider Fon coverage...

Skype and FON
I finally managed to solve my internet problems and I have again connection at home.
My neighbor was providing Fon connection but suddely it died or went offline so I decided to make again contract with some real ISP.
The problem was that the Wanadoo was still holding my line, (after almost half year when I cancelled the subscription) and there was no way to connect any other provider.
I tried that with Ya.com, result was that I needed to pay the connection even if I didn't have it, so I paid the penalty 160 euros to cancel the connection with ya.com.
The adventure with ya.com was worth of a little more than 300 euros, so I decided that I will never ever contract anything from them, neither from Wanadoo - now called as Orange in here.
Like I told earlier in my blog, I cancelled also the Telefonica line since they were charging me all the time and I didn't have any use for the line...
When I was in Bolivia, I noticed that Telefonica had an offer "no setup fee for new lines", I decided to contract a new one - new number - no problems.
I took the ADSL also from Telefonica, it's much more expensive than any other, but at least I have now single point to make reclamations.
Three weeks ago I received promotion from Fon where they were marketing Skype compatible phone with the pharse "The Whole World can Talk for Free".
Since I have again the internet, I bought the device since Lucy needs some way to commincate back to home and the calls by using Skype are reasonable prized.
I received the phone, but what a surprise, it can't connect to Fon router since the Fon is using ChilliSpot authentication and authorizaton system which is based on HTTP.
The phone has no web-browser, neither anykind of client which could process the AA against the Fon router.
I wrote to the Skype support an email and their answer was, it's not supported and that I can return the device if I want. What the hell would I do with the device which doesn't work, so I told them that I'm going to return it. Let's see how it goes.
Btw, I also received some weeks a go a letter from Spanair about my reclamation. They promised a one free flight in Spain as a replacement for the business class european ticket where I needed to fly in low-cost airline... I'm not really agree with them.
