some bloggy stuff

Found an interesting, mature blog today through Daz: nektros – Cynicism in a Hot Dish. The author, Yvonne, has a witty outlook on things happening around the blogosphere and expresses her thoughts well. I am pleased by this because it’s been ages since I found a good blog that I’ve not read before. It’s rare that I can find a blog that reads “naturally” instead of “forced” to try and sound better.

I didn’t realise so many people were going to read the start of Beginner’s Guide to PHP yesterday (I even got dugg!) It’s quite scary because I planned on leaving it a few weeks before writing the next one in the series but now I’m going to have to write release it sooner.. o.o

I’m bored tonight, suggest to me some links (but don’t try and put more than 3 in a comment because my spam protection thingymabob will tell you off)…

Edit (09:24pm): See, I’m that bored I even made a new crappy WordPress theme! It’s valid, fluid text, liquid layout, web2.0 colours, big text, bla bla bla:

stripes

..and something infinitely more exciting than a crappy WordPress theme: 1and1 have reduced their price of .com/.org/.net/etc domains ’til the end of November, so I had to splurge:

new domains: .net and .org

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    Interesting blog indeed. I wish I can be as witty as her. Hah! Dream on. ^_^ Oh dear, can’t really suggest good web sites…Because I’m in one of ‘em. :)

    Lately I haven’t been visiting too many personal sites; I’ve been more into CSS/XHTML and the occasional linux website for some odd reason, but here’s the ones I’ve been frequenting: http://31three.com/, http://www.bartelme.at/, http://linux.wordpress.com/ I know those links are so exciting–so much that you can’t control yourself.

    All you need is jemjabella.nu and your domain name collection will be complete ;) I quite liked the Beginner’s Guide to PHP article – it was very helpful for people like me, whose PHP knowledge is pretty much comprised of PHP includes!

    I guess it depends on what you are looking to read. Not everyone likes to read the same stuff. Cool about your article.

    Hmm, Jem, if someone tests the forget-me-not theme, how are they supposed to switch back? I came back to this entry and switched, but am I missing something?
