…all I can think to write about is a load of whingy bollocks. And, I also hate it when: I (unintentionally) bite the inside of my cheek four times in a row, causing my mouth to swell and bleed, making chewing impossible. People talk about me in “private” forums (what’s particularly amusing though, is that […]

Aunty Mariooo Had a Long Day
I’m not one to talk about my day usually but I feel like rambling a bit right now… :) I went to see my niece and nephew (and their mum, obviously) this morning and was greeted with hugs and smiles and childish giggling. There’s nothing quite like ending a working week by spending time with […]
Conquering the World, Script by Script
Sometimes I wonder if I take on too much because I am paranoid about letting people down (irrelevant of who they are). I can’t decide if this is an ego thing (i.e. must prove I can do this, must show my skill) or an inbuilt desire to prove that I am actually a nice, helpful […]
New Review, Ego Flattering etc
It’s been a few months, but there’s finally a new unrequested review up. The victim this time is one ‘nothingbutsong.org/tutorials’; in accordance with my ranty post on bad tutorial sites I have made the review pure critique of the code/tutorials. Most of the rubbish (and yet amusing) ‘banter’ has been taken out in favour of […]
Unrequested review of nothingbutsong.org/tutorials
Reviewed: No idea Site URL: nothingbutsong.org/tutorials I make no secret of the fact that I really don’t like poor quality tutorial sites. I make no secret of the fact that I aim to ‘out’ those with bad tutorials on their personal websites. Consider yourself blessed to be the first in a (hopefully) long series of […]
You Know You’re a Geek When…
…you create a PHP script to parse your telephone bills because you can’t be bothered to install suitable software to deal with .csv files. (If anyone wants that code btw, let me know and I’ll hook you up. It’s designed to parse BT phone bills in .csv format with colour coding depending on the incoming […]
What a Wonderful Day
I’m having a great day so far. I opened my inbox to a very pretty “Happy Valentines” photograph from Han (who I’m yet to thank, oops) and an e-mail from my mummy telling me that her flowers are beautiful. I had actually forgotten that I’d ordered them, so it was like a big double surprise […]
Redeveloping phpFanBase
Vixx let the cat out of the bag (not that it was a secret, mind) at CodeGrrl recently about me taking on phpFanBase. I’ve made no secret of my dislike for it in its current form so I figured it was probably about time I stopped whinging and actually did something about it… and then […]
Small Site Updates
After discussing RollerCoaster Tycoon earlier this month I went ahead and added a page for both 1 and 2, both with little tidbits on, as well as links to the demos for those of you who’ve never played before. I even bought a new copy of RCT2, which I’d forgotten to mention. It comes with […]
Obligatory Snow Pictures
As some of you are probably already aware, large portions of the UK woke up to a white blanket this morning, and snow continued to fall throughout the day. For me, this is great: I love the snow. It’s like Christmas all over again! Of course, this means that the first thing I did when […]
