Change the date format on joomla

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

How to do this using Joomla 1.5, assuming you want to change the default English:

1. Navigate to the language\en-GB folder in your Joomla install.
2. Edit the en-GB.ini file.
3. Change the date formats near the top. The parameters you see there (that is %A, %H, etc.) are replacements for the formatting of the date. The available parameters can be found in the PHP link in the above post.

An example for my particular setup, I wanted to switch to a format that looks like this for my front page articles.

Sunday, March 3 2008

I changed DATE_FORMAT_LC2 key to the parameters below to accomplish this:

DATE_FORMAT_LC2=%A, %B %d %Y

Reload the front page, and it was good to go.

Nerdic - The Language of the Web

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Beware of geeks bearing lists - a new language is taking over the world and it’s all based on technical terms.

According to Pixmania, people who speak ‘Nerdic’ are well up on the latest jargon surrounding the IT industry.

Common terms include Rickrolling - deliberately guiding someone to the YouTube video of Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up - and WiMAX, a wireless technology that provides internet access over large areas.

Other terms are RFID - short for radio frequency identification, a technology used to track items, and Android - a mobile phone operating system dreamed up by Google.

However, Pixmania also said that some terms, such as HD DVD, the ill-fated competitor to Blu-ray Disc, and dial-up, were due to be vanquished from the Nerdic language.

Stop the hard drive running constantley in Vista

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Windows Vista comes with a great new feature: Windows Search. It differs from previous versions in that it constantly indexes the hard drives. When you do search, the results are instant instead of the 5 minutes it takes in Windows XP. The downside is that your computer is indexing your hard drives for hours at a time during the day, robbing it of performance. You can see the files: SearchProtocolHost, SearchFilterHost, SearchIndexer in the task manager humming away eating up memory and cpu %.

If this new searching method isn’t important to you or you simply want the best performance all the time, you can disable it!

Type Services in the search/run bar in the start menu. Right-click “Windows Search Service” -> Select “Properties” -> Choose “Disabled” under start type. Then click “stop.” Once it has stopped, click OK. It will no longer start when Windows starts. You can always start it back up by doing the reverse.
