I Can Has Fame, Plz

I bought the February 2008 copy of .net magazine today, and I’m flicking through just randomly until I spot this titbit in the expert advice section, in response to someone who wants a PHP login page:
You can do this by joining the password and the key together and by generating an MD5 checksum of the [...]

 

All I Want For Christmas

…is my health. My health, damnit! I’ve been holed up in bed pretty much non-stop since Saturday because somebody infected me with a bloody cold. What is it with the stream of shit I’ve been hit with this past week or so? Food poisoning (or stomach bug, whatever), then my period [shudder] and now this. [...]

 

Caption This

I’ll link to the website of the person who submits the best caption in my sidebar (Asides)…
In other news: there is no other news. I’ve been working on tutorialtastic all weekend, including adding the rate functionality I talked about in my last TT post.

 

tutorialtastic: new features and functionality

I was going to announce this yesterday but the idea of letting off some steam about plain text passwords was much more appealing and so I didn’t. I think that says a lot about me as a person actually, how sad.
Anyway, I’ve put in a lot of work during the evenings of this week — [...]

 

web2.0-tastic

I have finally got of my butt and updated tutorialtastic. I mean, it’s only taken about 6 months and all.
The new layout is very deliberately web 2.0. Stripes, gradients, little pixel icons.. you name it, it’s in there! I’ve not even finished yet, but if I don’t get it uploaded it’ll be one of [...]

 

Inspiration from Frustration

I’ve had a totally shit day where nothing seemed to go right, nobody seemed to be able to help and I’ve got to get a list of things to get done by the end of tomorrow that I’ll probably not have time to do… and yet there’s nothing like coming home, saying hello to the [...]

 

Improving/Rebranding tutorialtastic

Recently I had Jacky come with up with an actual logo for tutorialtastic. Something that I could work with, create a new layout around and generally identify my long-neglected tutorial site.
The only problem is, while the logo is fab and exactly what I wanted, I am constantly worried about how easy it is to [...]

 

Abandoning My Blog

Yes, that’s right, I am confessing to abandoning my blog (amongst other things, like Snark). This past fortnight I’ve been spending every minute of free time working with Bubs to re-develop the quilting bee. There’s so many new features and functionality I’m not sure how we have managed to do it all!
Those of you who’ve [...]

 

9lbs and an AMD Athlon 64 X2

Things have been a little slow lately because I had last week off work. Actually, that’s a lame excuse, you’d think that’d make me blog more…
Anyway, apart from being told I’m short-sighted last week we also had an incident with the car (Karl explains it better), I had a ’successful’ doctors appointment in which I [...]
