So if you are having Magento – Google Checkout timeout issues, 404 issues on your uri callback or just can’t figure out how to configure it in magento try this first
Disable the xml post of shipping methods, I don’t know why magento is sending this information twice but it was stopping my system from working.
edit: /app/code/core/Mage/googlecheckout/Checkout.php and comment out the two sections where it has
The day has finally come that we web designers have been waiting for. In an effort to assure that users are getting the best experience possible online google has sent out an e-mail letting the community know that they will be phasing out Internet Explorer 6 support as of March 2010.
As a developer, I’m personally very excited to see that a world leader such as google.com is willing to oust browsers that make our life hell. They’ve gone on to say that they will no longer support any browser that is no longer being supported by it’s manufacturer. So long, farewell, aufiderzein, good bye!
Today, I’m getting ready to launch yet another Magento e-Commerce website for a client and have decided to do a step by step howTo on fully customizing a Magento skin.
1) You’ve already installed Magento on the webserver you are using for your test enviornment.
2) You’ve got one of the default themes already running
3) You need to next make copies of the default skin and template directories. cp ./app/skin/frontend/default/default to ./app/design/frontend/default/project_name and cp ./skin/frontend/default/default to ./skin/frontend/default/project_name .
4) You need to next tell the backend that you are using a custom skin and template. Login to the Magento admin section, and navigate to System -> Configuration this will take you to the main setup area, choose Design on the left and enter your project_name in both the template box, and the skins box and save.
5) You should now be using your new template, we will customize the skin in my next post!
So, I’m thinking of starting a new t.v. or webisode show. I’m calling the show “Surviving the Island” and the basic concept is simple, place ten people on an island and the last person that’s alive gets the prize.
Obviously it will have to be a pretty big prize, lets say a million dollars. With as bad as the economy is at the moment I could probably get players for less but 1M seems right.

Sick of your browser saying “resolving host” well if you are like me you realize that this is actually a comcast problem. Yes they can provide you with a 16mb downstream connection but they can’t resolve their hosts fast enough to do anything useful with it.
Today I decided I’d try google’s public dns http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html and I’m so impressed. Go figure that the world leader in internet technology would also have the fastest dns available.
Step two was to move my router away from my cable modem. I recently read a post describing the electrical interference that a cable modem can have. When placed next to eachother the wireless router spends all it’s time negotiating errors. Once I moved it four feet away from my modem my speed doubled.
My comcast 6m connection is now testing out at 6.6mb down 5.5mb up. Match this and I’ll be impressed.
After noticing the increase I went ahead and changed the dns information on my router so all machines on my network are now accessing pages twice as fast.
Ziggy, to turn sharp over and over. The road zigs and zags and toward the end we felt it was really ziggy.
I was all set to write a step-by-step and came across a great one!!!

So, you’ve though about trying android on your HTC and you’re worried you’ll destory it. No worries this is a non-evasive hack and works really, really well on my phone.
First empty a micro sd card, then visit http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list and download the following files.
1) basefiles-date.zip
2) system-date.img
Extract all files in basefiles-xxxx.zip to your sd cards root directory. Then you will also need to copy over the image file and rename it system.img
You are basically all set at this point, put the msd card in your phone and open file explorer. Choose to run haret.exe it will ask if you want to use settings.txt and click run.
The screen will get the tux penguin in the upper left as android loads.
Your buttons are basically setup as follows:
top button, normally for turning on and off the screen is for unlocking the phone and opening menus within the phone.
camera button, this is the back button within android, if you want to close a screen hold it for around three seconds and release to be returned to the home screen.
Green Button, this is the same as it was before trying android, it will pull up the dialing pad, and contacts or it will answer a call.
Red Button, this is the end button basically. When on a call it ends your call. Other than that when you press it at your home screen it will lock your phone and turn off the screen. Tap the top button twice to wake and unlock.
From there it’s a crap shoot, I’ve gotten tons of stuff to work just by installing it via marketplace.
As a side note, I’m a verizon customer and all of my included features work fine through them.
Just put android on my xv6900 and I can’t say enough good things about it more later
