Happy 6th Birthday Jemjabella!

Hip-hip hooray! My domain is 6 years old today. That’s 6 years of pointless ranting, narcissistic/egotistical BS and the best damned awards on the planet. I’m still quite enjoying the whole thing too. I hope those of you who joined me in celebration last time will raise a glass to another fruitful year pwning the […]

Backing up WordPress with phpMyAdmin

With a multitude of upgrades released every 30 seconds in the WordPress community, it’s integral that a regular back-up is taken just to be on the safe side. Although there are plugins available which do this for you, I’m a cynical old bugger and don’t trust anything or anyone. Most hosts supply phpMyAdmin. If you […]

WordPress Themes?

Now that I’m back in WordPress it would be much easier for me to write and release some freebie WordPress themes. Good idea/bad idea? Addenendum: I have been playing with the WP-Supercache plugin, which has the unfortunate side effect of breaking the themeswitcher.

You Know You’re Obsessed When..

You know you need a looong break from the Internet when you look at the TV listings, see: …and the first thing that springs to mind is an insecure script. Totally off topic… if someone pisses you off beyond belief, on levels that it is not possible to talk about without resorting to copious swearwords […]

The Woes of WordPress

Since converting back to WordPress I’ve been having some difficulties with my site. It’s not the fault of WordPress per se (I just liked the sound of the title) but rather my inefficient system, and my impatience. In my haste to get the live WP install up and running, I temporarily dropped some of the […]
