Reviewed: No idea Site URL: maxed-virtuals.com I can’t wait to start reviewing this website so I’ll just dive right in… Your splash page — what’s the point of it? Presentationally, it looks okay I guess, but in terms of functionality it achieves nothing. It doesn’t even have the word “enter” on it. There’s no title […]

review: maxed-virtuals.com
There’s a new review up, of maxed-virtuals.com. Chances are you won’t have heard of it — it’s not part of the personal web “scene”. It’s a tutorial site with rather pants PHP tutorials (in particular), which is why I decided to review it.. The first tutorial that caught my eye was “Banning A Person From […]
Hacker Refuses To Give Blood
I was reading on slashdot and wired news about a convicted hacker who refuses to give blood.. and I’m wondering why this is even an issue? If this guy was a convicted murderer or rapist that they were going to set free, I could see the need to have his DNA on file to compare […]
Blogging Lessons?
I had to prepare one of the IT rooms at work earlier — make sure everything is working, plugged in (unplugging the network cables seems to be a hobby of some of the kids), clean up sweetie wrappers, etc. Did it in about 20 minutes and then went to speak to the Head of Science. […]
AWOL
I think this is the longest I’ve been without blogging for no good reason in ages! I’ve set a new record, hoorah. Although strictly speaking there has been a good reason. Me, being my usual standards-nazi self decided to use my new position at the q*bee as an excuse to tidy up all of those […]
Online-Related News
I haven’t got anything remotely interesting personal-wise to update with so I’ll just occupy you with details of what’s going on with me online at the moment. Firstly, I celebrated my 3rd ‘anniversary’ of being in the quilting bee on Saturday, and at the same time announced that the club is now mine! *evil cackle* […]
The Dreaded Laser Cutter
Cleaning and maintaining the laser cutter at work is somewhat ominous. Not because it’s worth around £15,000 and should I break it, it’d take me over two years to earn enough cash to pay for it on my meagre part-time wage — nope, more because of the key word: laser. Now, I’m not talking one […]
Domain Names
Now that my idiot-induced, thobbing vein of a rage at the stupidity of some internet thieves has boiled over, I can return to normal posting. I apologise to my non-drama-driven readers for that momentary outburst. I was reading an entry over at Jeff Hendrickson Design about one of Google’s latest patent applications. It apparently covers […]
Sucks To Be You Now
The one major downside to offering free stuff — graphics; photography; tutorials; scripts or in this case: wordpress themes — is that there’s always someone out there willing to steal them, and then butcher the fuck out of them with their ugly stolen celebrity photos. So, Ana aka Evenso, age: “Old enough to know better” […]
Writing Your Own CMS
Firstly, this is not a tutorial on how to write your own Content Management System (CMS).. if I were to write a tutorial on creating a basic CMS it’d be featured on tutorialtastic. This is just a list of things to consider when you decide to embark on the adventure of writing your own CMS. […]
