I've been really bad about keeping my blog up to date lately. I'm not sure exactly what it is that keeps me from updating my site, but I feel like I don't do it as much as I should. Even if I just kept my blog posts short, it would be better short than nothing.

Sorry, but I gotta make another techy blog post.  I was having some trouble getting the Spell Checking functionality of my editor component working today and couldn't remember what I did on my last install to get it running.  This article is relevant to those of you using JCE for Joomla, TinyMCE, or other derivatives of TinyMCE.  If you have Google Spell checker enabled in the backend and when you go to use the spell checker you get an error about an XML call, double check to make sure you have the following extensions enabled in your php.ini file:

-curl
-mb_string 

I haven't had the chance to make it to the Texas State Fair yet this year, but my brother did. He sent me a shot of this 2009 Camaro called "bumblebee" that starred in the movie Transformers. I'd trade my GTO in for one of these when they come out, but they will probably be way overpriced.  I guess I'll just have to settle for a Vette.

I ended up having to get a new 360 Elite (79FL) because my DVD drive on my old unit (79FK) crapped out. It wouldn't read any type of media: DVDs, Games, Backups, etc.  I just took apart my new 360 today and installed my NME 1.2 chip into it, but I can't get it to work.
