Windows as a solar panels - great idea !!!

Rainbow Solar Inc. found a new technology that could revolutionize the buildings and skyskrapers. The company has released details of its new semi-transparent solar window that can generate up to 250 watts of electricity while protecting indoors from ultraviolet and infrared radiations and heat !!!! That’s simply amazing. Especially for a hot countries, like where I live (FYI I live at Reunion Island and we have summer now ). All those savings one could make on airconditionning

The solar windows are based on the company’s patent-pending multi-tier PV and heat insulation system that reduces the energy required to cool down the building, while generating between 80 and 250 watts of clean power. The windows can be made in various sizes to a maximum of 81 square feet, depending on the requirements and the size of the building.

Upgrade to Wordpress 2.7 last night was not so easy as it should be

smbutton-grey1 Upgrade to Wordpress 2.7 last night was not so easy as it should be...Last night I upgraded my wordpress installation to 2.7 version. It did not went without a troubles. After I uploaded all the files to my web space with my FTP client, there was a nasty error 1226 in -admin page. I went to sleep, quite disappointed, and worried about what am I gonna do if I’ll have to re-install and restore the whole (oh my god…). But then I re-uploaded the whole thing once again and all went ok. This new version has pretty, new in admin area.
For those who want to easily ugrade their worpress installation to the new version there are 3 easy steps to follow:

1. Download Wordpress 2.7

2. Unzip it, Upload and Replace your WordPress files, except: -config.php file and -content folder.

3. Point your browser to http://yourdomain/wp-admin/upgrade.php. Follow the instructions on screen to continue and upgrade within seconds.

I would say there is a fourth one: Backup you database before - because after could be too late….  -:)
