Online Shopping Suggestion

It’s fast approaching that time of year where I’m spending triple-digit sums on crap that people will look at once and then hide in the cupboard until they can find someone else to give it to. I actually quite enjoy spending money on people though, so it’s no big deal. One thing that does annoy… read full entry »


On the Contrary

There was a thread from a lame-o myspace forum that popped up in the rev.iew.me referrals (nearly 300 members now btw). Apparently, we all suck because one or two of us like Diane’s layout (that big one I linked the other day). Apparently, only plain layouts are trendy in our world and it’s all because… read full entry »

PHP Includes Aren’t What You Think

Newsflash: knowing how to do implement PHP include() doesn’t mean you “know” PHP, sorry and all that. Yes indeed, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this cool “layout technique” you’ve learned isn’t a layout technique at all. It has nothing to do with layouts.

Age Is a Bullshit Excuse

I’m sure I’ve covered this before, but screw it… I’m going to cover it again. Using your age as an excuse for being incapable of something is bullshit. Unless you’re coding at the age of 3, I don’t want to hear it. I cannot repeat enough: children today have access to the Internet at a… read full entry »

Only I’m Allowed To Direct-Link, Foo’

When you’re ordering people to follow these badly written rules: 1. Don’t direct link. Seriously, don’t waiste my bandwidth, or yeah. If something has been direct linked, I will delete it without warning and change its location, that way you’ll lose the image. 2. Don’t steal, trade, etc. Don’t claim these as your own. Not… read full entry »
