Adding photos to iOS Simulator

I am writing an article for MacTech that includes selecting photos from the iOS app. As iOS Simulator does not have any photos by default, I wanted to add some photos to it. The process is as follows:

  • Drag and drop a photo to iOS Simulator
  • It will open in Safari
  • Click and hold the image
  • You will then see some options
  • Click Save and you are done!

Menu Manager -> Rebuild

After upgrading to Joomla! 2.5.3, one of my sites showed something strange: It added the word "Smart%Search.html" after the proper URL.
I solved the problem by doing the following:

  • Go to the Menu Manager.
  • Click Rebuild.

Joomla! 2.5.3 released!

More Joomla!

If you read this, you should know the problems that I had with Joomla.

Last week, my provider's server crashed (actually the hard disks) and it lost all its data. The good thing is that I had backups and now my sites are all up and running.

Why am I telling you this: After the restore, I can now edit and create large articles without problems!

About my Cisco 877w setup

After getting the Cisco 877w from ebay.co.uk I had to set it up.
The process was not as painless as I expected. As it is second-hand, in order to use it, I had to change its IP address and connect it to my iMac.
Its previous setup did not allow me to reset its IP address to the default (10.10.10.1) even after using the Reset button so I had to do the following:
  • connect it to a PC using the (light blue) Cisco console cable (RJ45 to DB9)
  • get console access using HyperTerminal
  • delete its configuration
  • change the IP address
  • connect using an ethernet cable
  • set up the ADSL connection and the WiFi access

Joomla 2.5.2 released

More about it here.
It is a security release.
