Magento commerce fails another upgrade

From Budoshop.se by budoshop

If you’re thinking of setting up a web store, don’t choose Magento! Upgrades always fuck up the the SQL tables, always.

If you’re a smart guy and remember to back up before happily click on the upgrade to the newest “stable” version button, or do it when you know you have unlimited hours to spare you can go for it.

Magento is a very good but extremely complicated system. It is not like WordPress which is very simple, and never fails an upgrade.

I fucked up with the upgrade, and wish I postponed it until I have plenty of time to handle the errors. This never fails… there is always something :-).

I have no idea when the store will be up again. If you are in a hurry you can contact me and we fix it without this shitty Magento cart system.

Now I want my coffe!

Edit (day after)… I didn’t do anything and now everything works again, so I’m happy now. I guess it was the web server cache or something? Anyway now that it is upgraded I ordered a back up. My web host only allow 30 second php executions which is way too little to back up the huge database from the Magento admin panel. I will clean it up from log files as soon as I have the backup, there is no button from the admin to do this so I have to install a script, or do it manually :-/. Maybe then the back up script from the admin panel will finish within 30 seconds (I hope).

My web host do take backup daily, so if I don’t do it hey do it. Worst case scenario is that I loose data just before the daily backup. But all payments are done on PayPal servers, and I’m sure they do backup the whole time.

Our customers credit card numbers and PayPal accounts is safely stored on PayPal, we never have access to your credit card information. If they screw up it will be on the news all over the world since millions of people use their service.

So there is no cause for you to worry! …

[New DVD] Duncan Stewart Shihan – Three new videos

From Budoshop by BUDOSHOP.SE

We have three new DVD’s with Duncan Stewart Shihan from a seminar in Stockholm in April 2010. Duncan Stewart has been training in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu since 1988 and is ranked Judan Kugyo. He has lived in Japan since 2004 and trains consistently with Hatsumi Soke, Nagato Shihan, Noguchi Shihan, Someya Shihan and Someya Shihan. He is often uke and asked to demonstrate at classes. Duncan was Nagato Shihans sole uke at the Bujinkan Honbu for two years when studying direct from the Gyokko Ryu Densho and the Kukishinden Ryu. If you want to sponsor a seminar or course, please don’t hesitate to contact him. For more information see his web site tazziedevil.wordpress.com.

Bushinden Kai 武神伝会 is ”A Gathering to honour the teachings of the Warrior Gods.” Respecting Souke, The Shihan, and our Martial Ancestors for their transmission of the Nine Traditions of the Bujinkan.

Budo is not about instruction. It is about learning to teach yourself. This is the first thing I want people who attend the Bushinden Kai to understand. We are all on our own Shugyo. We must take responsibility for ourselves, while developing the heart and compassion of the Bujinkan Bugeisha.

[New DVD] Shinken Kata vol 8 with DEAN ROSTOHAR

From Budoshop by BUDOSHOP.SE

New Shinken Kata DVD with DEAN ROSTOHAR
Theme: YARI / NAGINATA / MUTODORI.

DVD in NTSC format available from BUDOSHOP.SE
for 269 SEK (Approximately 26 EUR / 38 USD

The theme of the seminar was traditional Japanese long Ninja weapons, Yari (spear) and Naginata (halberd). Kunren Shugyo in Japanese terminology represents the studying of training. Therefore the seminar participants have studied for two days, the ways, the principles, techniques and philosophy of combat with those traditional weapons we use in Bujinkan Ninjutsu.

The ways and techniques of fighting with long weapons are very important for understanding Taijutsu (unarmed combat), because this way we get to know our body and the possibilities of its use through combat techniques.

The techniques with Naginata were done on the first day of the seminar, while techniques with the Yari were done the second day. Also defence against several opponents, combinations with Naginata and sword, and unarmed defence against the Yari was taught.

This seminar was organized in Zagreb, Croatia, on 23th and 24th of September 2006.
