I am very interested in creating some PHP-based simple text/image games, like hangman, guessing games, “higher or lower”, that sort of thing. Unfortunately, resources seem few and far between to get me started on the right track. I’m sure I could sit down and eventually drill something out but it’d save me a lot of […]

Smells Like Diamonds
Bold, a company that produces soap powder (to wash your clothes with), started advertising a “new premium range of luxuriously perfumed super sensory laundry products” several months ago. The television adverts tell us that we too could smell like an infusion of white lotus flower and diamond. I don’t get it. I’ve sniffed my jewellery; […]
Dirty Slimy Buggers
You know you’re officially insane when you find yourself wandering around the garden in your slippers, clutching eggshells and a bag of cheap porridge oats, all the while screeching “I’ll get you, ya buggers”.

Of course, the people who should read it probably never will, but that’s irrelevant. Incidentally, I’ve had a draft […]
Cutenews is Shite
I’ve added a short note about Cutenews on my Unsafe PHP Scripts page.
zomg regex
This is probably the most complicated thing I’ve ever had to work out in my entire life: /^MK([1-9]|1[0-5]|17|19|77) [0-9]{1,2}[A-Z]{1,2}$/i
Too Much Stress
I think I had a panic attack on the way home from work today. I’ve never felt anything like it in my entire life. I couldn’t breathe, and the harder I tried the worse it became. I had an overwhelming urge to cry but nothing came out. It was as if I was going to […]
