How to change the Joomla date format

Sonny — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 04:37:42 +0000

In of our projects I needed to add time to the article’s date. I was looking at the backend and template source codes, but that was disappointing me until I googled it and found the best & perfect way to do it. Nice job John, it was not possible to comment on his post, then I decided to post this and thank him on my own website

Sony Ericsson Xperia Active

Hi, I decided to put some information about my (roughly) new phone which I bought it in 2011 Oct. This isn’t a proper review, just giving my own comments about it. Everybody have different demands and here’s my best choice

Many people say that screen size (3″) or resolution (480*320 pixels) is small comparing new phones, but this is a phone that is made for sport and half-tough environment. It’s not shock-proof, the scratch-resistance isn’t that good, I got two scratches when I removed the layer on screen. Also no front-camera These common disadvantages aren’t important to me like large screen or front-camera. The water-proof is the main item which I decided to buy this phone.

There are two same level competitors Motorola Defy+ and Samsung Galaxy Xcover (or Xtreme). Samsung Xcover has lower CPU (800 Mhz) and lower camera pixels (3.15 MP). Motorola Defy+ is better in screen size (480*854 pixels, 3.7″) and type (Gorilla Glass), but I heard that Motorola updates its devices late or have some issues, also living in Asia will brings you better support by an Asian brand rather American. There are lots of Sony Ericsson Branches here in Malaysia than Motorola.

Added on 2012 Feb 15th: according to my friends phones which have much higher resolutions, Xperia Active has a really smooth UI. it should be because of resolution size.

Getting sick

Ya, mentally! I was really considering about suicide two times in only 1 month. I’ve really bad situation now. Holding Iranian passport literally means “a great disaster”; no good country gives you visa easily and/or free :’(
In this age and having very few work experience makes it much harder to live in a foreign country.

Neobux

Is it a scam? Yes or no, I’ll explain what actually happens inside it.
A good proof for PTC websites is having a forum, neobux does; but it’s strictly under control of administrators, so any complaints or negative reactions will be removed and user will be banned from forum permanently.
What about referral packages? Oh boy.. They won’t last long. Number of clicks will reduce over time and most of times total clicks won’t reach 100 and you’ll need to renew them and it costs.

I’ll say it’s a smart scam, I didn’t earn profit after 1 year and that’s a proof.
Only real referral will give you money and it doesn’t worth of it for small money

Cite This For Me

I’ve open this tab for more than a month! this is a really great website for citing.

moved to a new server

Sonny — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 03:45:36 +0000

Finally I’m using better managed web hosting. Actually I needed it years ago and was going to be too outdated. Feel much better when I done tasks which are drilling my mind in long-term.

For now I’m only using shared web hosting for few websites and then I’ll need to buy a VPS or Dedicated Server and have the power in my hands. Projects are coming and need time to manage.

Work Hard, Party Harder

Mindomo

I needed an online mind-map tool to help me for assignments. There were a lot of free of these websites, but Mindomo was great, user-friendly & very handy for me in these days. Try it at least for 1 time, you might need this kind of stuff later.

great moments

Sonny — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:12:56 +0000

sometimes we forget to take advantage of our leisure time and we get problem when we really don’t have time. Now, I’ve time to study for exam and assignments, but for facebook-addiction reason, I cannot focus on my study. This is really bad because this is really a great moment! If I fail again, my path will change and it’ll be so hard to get back on this path. I’m risking & wasting my best years for nothing, I seriously need to study and pay more attention to my future. What’s wrong with me this time?

I hope these words help me to concentrate on slides

Facebook

Sonny — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:03:39 +0000

I was complaining about facebook changes, because it was coping from other places.. But when I see logically, it’ very useful & makes it more secure everyday. The good point is that it’s keep changing. What I just found is app-specific passwords & login approval

You might find new changes everyday too! So keep changing for yourself, refreshment
