My daughters like cola. I think the kids like sweet taste than adult.

For me, when I shop in the Safeway, I will took some Diet Coke. It is sugar free. And later I found this one


Coke zero

I like this kind of Coke. It has zero sugar, zero calorie. It is more health than the original one and has Real taste.

Life as it should be. Coke zero has variety flavors. Say, cherry-flavored, vanilla-flavored.

Coca-cola use diet cola name for women, and Coke Zero for your adult men.

Let's find out some secret of Zero.
Wikipedia said: Coca-Cola Zero in fact has a small caloric value. Depending on the country in which it is made, it has about 0.2 to 0.5 calories per 100 mL (3.4 US fl. oz.)

The record of upgrading from MovableType 3.34 to MovableType 4.0 shown as below:

1. Backup all related files first.
1.1. Backup all blog static files of my blogs, such as /v4/blog/
1.2. Backup the old MT program files, /mtcgi/
1.3. Backup database in MySQL Administrator.
1.4. Backup all entries from MT by Export.

2. Download MovableType 4.0 windows zip file. Unzip it for later use.

3. Disable and/or Remove retired plugins.
3.1. Disable Scode, Nofollow in MT backend.
3.2. Remove files belonging to these two plugins.

4. Copy all new MovableType 4.0 files, which prepared in step 2, into /mtcgi/ folder. Overwrite the old version files.

5. Login to upgrade. See screen-shot below,

It took me about two days to upgrade my MovableType3.34 to MovableType 4.0.
The upgrade is simple but to implement the layout and CSS is make me busy.

Now it is a new look. I like it. This is a style for San Francisco. My parent in law are living there.

I will try to find a photo of Vancouver to replace this header.

Windows Vista is delivered with a lot of new PCs and also a lot of Upgrade version are sold in stores.

Do you like this good look Vista or waiting for the next version of Windows?
Someone said the next Windows, Windows 7 will be released in 2010.
For Windows Vista, I think you'd better to wait for the SP1 before purchase it.

Microsoft just released two Vista updates.
One update (KB938979) deals with poor memory management, memory leaks when using Vista's Energy screen saver, and delays in returning from hibernation or exiting the Photos screen saver. It also fixes file corruption problems when writing to AVI files, synchronizing offline files to servers, and editing image files that use the RAW format.

The second update (KB938194) addresses compatibility and reliability issues, including graphics problems, printers spooler interruptions, screens going blank when external displays are turned off, display driver error messages, and diagnostics problems under heavy usage.

Service Pack 1 is in early testing. So we just need waiting.

For me, I will try to change my direction to Linux.

Is it a good idea?

In MT RC3, there is some problem when I want to publish it or delete some entries.

Even I upgrade to MT 4 final. This problem still here.
It shows the error message like below:
Can't call method "archive_label" on unblessed reference at lib/MT/App/CMS.pm line 14152.

I checked the Movable Type 4.0 Upgrade Guide.
And later I got the answer.
The guide said some Plugins Should Be Removed.
So, in the backend, system, plugins, I disabled two plugins.
# Date-based Category Archives (provided by MT4 betas)
# Author Archives (provided by MT4 betas)

And also I remove the file:
$MT_HOME/php/plugins/Textile.php
Then this error gone. I can publish as normal.

During my vacation in Shanghai, MovableType 4.0 was released.

I tried a lot of time to test the beta version at Unofficial Site.

It is time to upgrade my MT 3.34 to MT 4.0. I knew there is a MT4.01 beta, but now I just want to use this final version.

OK, I will go through the guide of Movable Type 4.0 Upgrade Guide and guide of Installing Movable Type.

After my upgrading, the following official guide will be reviewed.
# Author's Guide to Movable Type. Publishing and managing entries, publishing and managing pages, uploading files, managing assets.

# Designer's Guide to Movable Type. An anatomy of Movable Type's default templates, working with templates, using template modules, archive mapping, an overview of Movable Type's template tag language.

# Administrator's Guide. Managing blogs, managing users, managing a community, publishing options, maintaining your system, finding and installing plugins.

Just give me two days. Let me try the upgrade on the testing bed.
