ITBLogs.InfoVirtuemart supports Joomla 1.7
Virtuemart is my choice for shopping cart. It can integrate with Joomla. But that only supported Joomla 1.5 before, even version 1.7 is the market for a few months. Yesterday, I saw there is Virtuemart 2.0, which supports Joomla 1.7. That is great!

A Hoax about Whatsapp New Services Charge
I got a same WhatsApp message from a number of friends. The message is about WhatsApp will charge for their service unless you are a frequent user. And it asks you to forward that message to 10 people. I checked the official blog of WhatsApp. That is not truth, the message is a hoax. If you get that message, please do not forward that!!!

An opensource PDF Printer
There are a number of ways to create a pdf file by using open source software. For example, openoffice can export their document files into PDF. But How's about others file type? For example, how can I export a web page into PDF?
I found the best way is getting a PDF Printer driver. I just need to open the file and print it into a PDF Printer. Then it will "print" into a pdf file. I am using PDFCreator to do this task. It is free and opensource.
