I have a 10 yr old silky terrier who just this Thursday had this problem,first of all just a bit of difficulty walking like he is drunk them two hours later he cannot stand on the back legs,on Friday he had ex-rays and injections for 2 herniated disks but its now Sunday and although he is eating and drinking he has not pooped but has had a few wees but unfortunately he has done this in his sleep mat.I am hoping that in time he will come good until then he is back to the vet this Wednesday but might just drop in Monday to check that this normal for him so far.he is on a pain killer and antiflamitory tablets…fingers crossed!

Hello Ricky, the vets can be over confident some times. I think it’s important to keep your dog motivated and even if it’s hard maybe you can ask somebody to help you (once or twice) to take him out and see how he reacts. Make sure he’s not in any pain from the movement. If he is able to urinate that is a great sign. Good luck.

Thanks for posting your story and keep the updates coming as it’s good to know things don’t move as quickly as some vets say.
My Labrador had the same thing happen and it’s been 10 days since his operation, he’s now able to urinate by himself but can’t support himself on his front legs. He’s a heavy dog so helping him up and taking him out in the garden is no easy task. The vet says he should be walking within 4-6 weeks but to me it seems it will taking a lot longer but I’m hoping I’m wrong.

Thanks again
Ricky

Comment on GUI for TV channels in Linux Fedora/Ubuntu ( via sopcast ) by desktopdave

Hi,

I have no idea how you got this to work. I followed your instructions which I think meant placing the sp-auth directory inside the tv-maxe directory which is what the sp-auth link to /usr/bin must mean.

I can start tv-maxe with ‘python tv-maxe.py’ but I get an error message window ‘unable to get channel lists-aborting’, so I have the tv-maxe gui working but with no channel list, so it’s useless.

Any ideas?

I have tried and tried and tried to use Drupal–and yes I agree it is powerful, the interface and “how the F* do I get this to work like I want it” are exceedingly difficult. It’s certainly not something I would want to even think about turning over to a less-technical “end customer”.
I’ve tried Joomla but that seems like a big can on tinker-toys, mixed with legos, and bristle blocks. Yeah you can build a lot of stuff, but it’s clunky, complicated, and to me seems very un-elegant.
For simplicity WordPress has them beat, hands down. I agree that WP has made great strides in stability, etc. over the years. The interface is just “easy”. And for a CMS that might be the #1 trait.

Comment on How to make your Gnome 3 desktop functional by jon

running “apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions #ubuntu” I get the error
“Unable to locate package gnome-shell-extensions”.
Perhaps a repository needs to be added?

Thanks for the info!

Migrate-ability is a key area that you’ve neglected. I’ve built sites in all three. WordPress will leave you with a broken site as soon as you try to migrate to a new version. Drupal will do the same. Joomla! has been successfully migrated all the way up the ramp. The problems with Joomla! migration are always associated with modules and plug-ins (which are maintained by third parties). But you can see which modules/plugins are supported in the newer versions.

I found your post interesting, but limited. WordPress is easy, but that’s about all. It has limited functionality for a fully functional CMS. Drupal is stronger, but incredibly complex. Joomla! has a proven framework that is kept up-to-date with a much more ambitious group of active developers. The CMS framework is solid, secure, and evolving rapidly. The learning curve is greater than WP but much smaller than Drupal. Most people get screwed up when they go outside the framework and start thinking in terms of “programming” instead of CMS. I’ve watched CSS programmers pull out their hair with Joomla! because they don’t accept the basic premise of the Joomla! CMS. (That premise is “get the template the way you want it BEFORE you load it into Joomla!”). The best solution to all these issues (WP, Drupal, or Joomla!) is to use a tool like Artisteer to develop the CSS, then upload the template.

We use WordPress and Joomla and they both work great as CMS systems for Real Estate. Pick the CMS that works best for you and that you understand.

I agree WordPress was created as a blog that is trying to be a Joomla or Drupal. Drupal is probably the best coded CMS but its messy and not professional. Joomla is my choice.
