Yeah, I've notified Shadi and the others about the spambots. They're seeing what they can do. In the meantime, ignore new topics that are blatant spam. Don't click into them (to avoid potential porn pics) and don't reply to them. The next available mod will delete and ban the bot asap.

Good God, it reminds of the last time we had this same situation!

Anyway, my first month of work is coming to a close, I did mostly a lot of warehouse tasks(gutting packages, inserting labels, pilling up boxes and preparing them for shipping), you know, kind of like what Ryo did at the harbor in disc 3 of Shenmue. But since we're having a slow week, I finally got my hands on some actual web design tools and let me tell you,guys, Joomla is awesome! You can literally do all kinds of websites and there's thousands and thousands of extensions that do a ton of things.

My recent assingment is to transfer all of content (assets,pdf files,etc)  from my boss's company website which operates from Joomla 1.5 to a brand new one that's already on 1.6.

Takes a lot longer than I thought, we tried exporting all of his press releases and articles, but since there's no export tool that's compatible with both versions, we decided, well screw it, let's just copy and paste the whole thing over.

Awesome!

SEGAbits was going to run on Joomla. But we switched to Wordpress because it was easier to skin.

Yeah, that's true, I'm having a little trouble getting the skin to work on Joomla 1.6. The company who created the skin hasn't released a version compatible with 1.6. Fortunately, it's not a high priority right now.

Wordpress works better for blogs, so not a bad choice at all.

Moving on...

I had a choice this morning between sitting around all day at my local NHS or pay 30€ to get a doctor's appointement just before my lunch break.

It was an easy choice.

OK, this is weird, I was cleaning out a lot temp files so my main hard drive would have more space, but when I was using Filezilla to upload content to my boss's new website I spotted 3 2GB files that were invisible.

That explains a lot!

Stay a bit longer this time, Snowcat!

Freakin' foot and a half of snow out here today. Impossible to get to work, so I'm doing what I can from home and browsing the forums. It's just like a normal work day! Except at home I can view all the porn I want.

Damn you, computer viruses!

I've using my old desktop PC while my antivirus cleans out all the crap on my laptop during safe mode.

Yep, this Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ was a beast in it's prime, but now geesh, I can't even watch videos on 720p on Youtube.
