My site was originally implement with a 4.6 version of Drupal so months later after I’d installed 5 or so other site with the new 4.7.3 version I thought it would be nice to upgrade. Nice thought but in reality when I ran the upgrade script and watched the video too (thanks lullabot.com see the video here) all was not well. I ended up with a shite load of errors and images missing. Having recently coded some php to dump pages into drupal from sql text files I took it on as a little project and here is my experience. I do have the php code for those who wish – I’m a horrible coder so email me if you wish to look at this dogs breakfast! These are just my notes and you’ve probably have to of gotten your hands quite durty in the past to know what the hell I’m talking about here.
Cafe Prasad describes it’s self as a “Veggie Restaurant” and was voted one of the top 10 Veggie Restaurants in the US in a recent survey.
Last time I ate there I was a little disappointed. They have a great buffet and the buffet food is sold by weight. Being hungry, very hungry I piled my plate with some yummy curry and other goodies and on checkout discovered that it came to the pricly sum of $14, bloody hell! Not that the food was bad, it was excellent but I just felt that for the same price I could of walked down the street to the Dushanbe Tea House, a real restaurant, sat down and dinned on an equally yummy dish for the same price in nicer surroundings.

In the 10th century Oxford became an important military frontier town between the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex and was on several occasions raided by Danes. St Frideswide is the patron saint of both the city and university.
If you’re looking for a nice wifi router I recommend the Linksys WRT54GL – it runs Linux and is very stable and tweakable. I just ordered one (June 06) and have been using the older (discontinued) model, the WRT54G for the past 3 years. There is also a $10 mail in rebate valid until 8/15/06.
