The Above
After spending months and months desciding what to go for, I have finally chosen a Eurocom.. :D
Yes, I know it doesn`t look as sexy as an alienware laptop (The allpowerfull). But as I have gone for the D900 clevo model it gives me the ability to upgrade, modify it and make the cover look sexy!! The D900 has an afwull faceplate with just plain design and some rubbish logo.. So I`m replacing it, with this laser etched design and my own alienware style logo.

I`v only just thrown the design together; now the hard part.. To get a metal fabricator to lazer etch and put it together for me :) I already have one in mind, that has done a number of laser etched pieces for me.. When It arrives I`ll be sure to take a picture and upload it..

Read on to find out why Eurocomm and not Alienware or the other high end brands based on clevo.

Looks like my old server was hacked into :(
Sorry for anyone who turned up and saw links to some chinese wierd site within an iframe.. It wasn`t me!

So I`m now back.. For good.. .. Don’t even try to get in this time..
I`ve moved onto newly upgraded securer servers.. Fingers crossed and I wont be going anywhere soon..

Time to get back and post all the blogs I had written but hadn’t posted!

I`m not sure what happened to the server last week; but it appears all index files were deleted from the server..

I don’t know if something conflicted with the server or someone thought it was worth hacking into.
But if they did hack into it they forgot to leave a note or calling card - like many hacker defacer teams out there?.

Anyway its time to move the blog to a bigger server and with a nice new VPS setup.

Thnx goto the nice IT team in Slovenia who host and manage my server.

You can alter the style of the labels for required fields by specifying a css class from the config.cfg (or admin server >> general config)

StyleForRequiredFields=requiredField
NotationForRequiredFields=*

The style of this class can be found against the default skin specified in the config.cfg which is stored under the directory: Weblayout/resources/layouts

Oracle have launched Enterprise 2.0 TV..

Yes.. Ignore the fact the site has been done in .Net - But it must of cost Oracle a fair bit the videos (although I could only find 3) are really slick..  The content unfortunately isn’t so impressive - but I guess it helps others get their heads around what Oracle mean when they say Enterprise 2.0 :)
