Welcome to Lisbon
Comments
I am currently on a mini-internship for 4 weeks in INESC-ID in Lisbon, Portugal. I have now been here a few nights and have yesterday moved into the IST student accommodation. I have done some exploring so thought would put a few photo's up.

MojoPortal module headings not including h2 solution
Comments
I have been gradually upgrading MojoPortal on my www.stuartjames.info site for quite a while now, except for a few migrations the database has remained intact. I came across an interesting problem where sometime over the last year of upgrades some of my module titles had h2 elements to them and some didn't. The older of these module titles didn't.
After trying to figure out a way to solve this then decided enough is enough it must be somewhere in the database so went on a hunt to find it.
What I found is in mp_Modules under the HeadElement column some items had h2 defined and some were null. Therefore with the Developer Tools Query Tool enabled (in web.config, makes available in admin menu) I performed a quick SQL command to solve my problems.
UPDATE mp_Modules SET HeadElement='h2'
So if your a little lazy like me and after a quick hack to solve those rogue h2 tags, give it a try

A short excursion to Paris (France)
Comments
Went on a short pre-christmas trip to Paris for a few days, thought I would share a few of my experiences. The first thing to note in Paris is the cost, plan for expensive meals if you go you will really struggle to avoid it. A good place togo that you can find easily is a Pauls Patisserie we had a nice lunch sandwich and a crape while there for a resonable price. When it comes to evening meals you need to be more careful about where you go. We tried a few different places but average evening meal cost is ~25euros for the food then add on top for drinks, although wine is fine avoid beer found that to be expensive at ~6euro a glass. Its not all doom and gloom though if you are sub 25 the attractions are generally free*, UK student cards dont work I believe international student card does though but that requires sorting out before the trip.
Here are a few shots of paris to cheer you up, will add a few more as my camera master sends me her images.
