phpFanBase3, BellaBiblio and a Link Script

fanbase3 has been virtually ready for release for a couple of months now and I’m sick of waiting around on the beta testers who promised they’d get back to me within a couple of days (and didn’t). If you’re a long-time user of phpfanbase and want to test out an upgrade, or you’re looking for… read full entry »

Quick e-thanks

I just wanted to send out some e-thanks to a few people who’ve helped me remove some of the false exploit “warnings” over the course of the past couple of weeks.. Firstly, Fyodor of insecure.org/seclists.org who removed one of the listings from his websites. Mega thanks to str0ke of milw0rm fame (seriously, I’ve been using… read full entry »

I am SO cold

Please tell me it’s not bloody Autumn already!

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Nan turned 25 yesterday. She felt sad because it’s “half way to 50”, so I tried to cheer her up… I’m guessing it worked to some degree because she posted a beautiful entry today on all of the things she has to be thankful for in her life. Of course, this got me thinking about… read full entry »
