Hex Ate My Homework

Not really, but I couldn’t think of a creative title for the random/mixed load of waffle that this entry is going to be.

Firstly, I present you with Hex dressing up/playing LOLCAT:

Created for your viewing pleasure by Aisling (x3) and Hanna (x1)

Next, I can confirm that my course materials have arrived complete with a big chunky book on HTML/CSS. Shame it’s of little use to me really, because it couldn’t possible teach me anything I don’t already know. (Ego ftw.)

I have collected names and e-mail address of anyone who has volunteered to beta test scripts and will probably be contacting you shortly. I’ll also go through the directory script name suggesions and see which one I like best. NinjaLinks sounds kinda groovy right now, hehe.

Remember the incident with the stolen code? Well, shortly after that was sorted I sent another cease and desist to Lana of so-juicy.net. In fact, I sent several to multiple e-mail addresses just to be on the safe side. Despite sending those, she is still redistributing my code so I’m cutting out step 2 (contacting the host) this time and giving her a bit of a plug. She’s obviously so desperate for hits that she has to fill her site with e-mail forwards (sorry, “Reads”) so why not send a few her way…

Those who choose to take my code obviously do so because they have no idea how to write their own. The irony in that is that the original skinning tutorial is old and contains a possible XSS/code injection vulnerability due to unsanitised data being sent to the browser… but we won’t mention that, will we? Oops. That’s fixed a tutorialtastic btw, so always get your code from the source for safety :)

On a final note… I saw Christmas wrapping paper in a shop last week. Can you believe they’re doing it already? I mean, I love Chrismas but that takes the piss.
