www.matahaari.com
A nice and cheerful website for Matahaari Salon is launched today. Like the name of the salon, the basic color of this website is also inspired by matahari (which means ‘sun’ in Indonesian). I used all the colors of matahari from sunrise ’til sunset and combined them into a twirled sunlight. The sketch of the arrayed buildings is based on the original buildings along the Danziger Strasse. As you might see, Hamburg’s Cathedral, St. Marien is located just a few buildings away from Matahaari Salon.
The main strength of this website is the collection of pictures, where the customer could find her/his picture online, and also for other customer who is in search of a new funky look 
. Personally I like the way they dye hairs, very creative! To support this I use expose4 flash image gallery. Very neat and nice looking for the front-end and easy in maintenance for the back-end (but for non-personal use, we have to pay 50$/site, sigh…). And for every page, I use a image slide-show on the right side, which retrieves the pictures from expose image gallery.
So… Enjoy

This is my first experience using VirtueMart, the e-commerce edition for Joomla!. So far it provides everything that I need. I also use additional Component for making the Contact Us form, FacileForms. Additionaly, I got to know that there are actually a better WYSWYG editor than the standard version form Joomla!, it is a mambots called TMEdit. It simplifies the process of inserting image to the content by providing a page where we can easily select the image from the /stories directory - visually - and also provides a way to upload new images.

Umlaut problem in phpMyAdmin
If you have spent weeks searching in google and asking people what the hell happened with the umlaut in phpmyadmin, you might want to consider information below:
Both MySQL 4.0.x and Joomla 1.0.x do not support utf-8
It is possible to convert the data into single-byte character form (i.e latin1)
in various ways:
- This can be done with phpMyAdmin (newer versions) by defining the connection charset/collation to the new (4.0) database as latin1 with appropriate collation AND defining the source data as utf-8.
- Alternately the sql script file dumped from the original database can be
loaded into an editor (that recognises encodings) and saved as ASCII instead of utf-8. After this conversion it can be loaded into the target databaseIt is worthwhile to check how the data looks in the database after the migration by browsing the tables with a tool such as phpmyadmin. Once you are satisfied that the data is looking good then try it in Joomla.
[http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?topic=23075.msg136644]
In my case, I think the problem lies in phpMyAdmin. I use MySQL 4.0.26 and extract the database to a .sql file with the help of EMS SQL Manager 2005. The extracted database contains the correct umlaut character. However, after it is imported by phpMyAdmin to my server, all the german character (ä, ö, ü) and even a simple dash (’-') are transformed into question mark (’?'). My server uses phpMyAdmin 2.9.0.2.
To solve the problem, I chose latin1 for the character set of the file (instead of use the default utf-8) when importing the file. Then, TADA… problem solved!
Meine schöne Umlaute wird endlich da
