BellaBook3.6 Release

12 May

BellaBook3.6 is out with some big-ish changes behind the scenes (tidying, etc). Mostly the same up front :) Testing would be appreciated as it’s late and I’m knackered, but always back-up entries.txt first. Update: fixed some typos that were causing edit/delete errors. Please re-download. I really shouldn’t code at 11pm of an evening. :/

Fudge Update

12 May

Firstly, thank you all for the lovely comments on my Fudge intro post — advice, reassurances, etc — all appreciated. I’m not used to dealing with kittens this tiny! He seems to be settling in well; I took him for his first vet check-up this evening and apart from being underweight and suffering from worms […]

How to Look Like a Total Twat

11 May

Step one: Go to your local friendly coding help request forum, e.g. CodeGrrl. Staffed voluntarily, out of enjoyment of the subject matter. Step two: Only ever post requests for help Step three: Leave abuse — because Googling “implementing a php captcha” is too damned strenuous. Tada! Steps complete: you now look like a cunt.

Turdy Tutorials and InstantRock.com

08 May

I first discovered InstantRock.com through a thread over at Cynosure MB (yay, go referrals!) Apparently I’m really mean, and I know everything. Actually, I’m not sure that’s what they meant, but that’s how I like to read it :) Consider this a continuation of everything I said about xoxmariah.com (now closed, harhar). In the grand […]

Zebra Striping as Covered by ALA

06 May

Online magazine A List Apart has just published an article “Zebra Striping: Does it Really Help?“. As I can’t be arsed to re-write my thoughts in a logical and structured manner, I’ll just copy and paste what I put into the q*bee IRC channel: [19:45] <Jem> I’ve just read an article on ALA about ‘zebra […]

Someone Want To Fill Me In?

05 May

I’ve just got online — it’s 7:30pm — after having spent most of the afternoon in garden centre type places looking for plants for my front garden. It’s north-facing so shadowy and damp most of the time, which presented a bit of a problem (I’ve brought back some Fuschia). Anyway, upon opening my inbox I […]

Need Some New Kitty Name Ideas

04 May

My mum has been to see her new kitten today, with the intention of having a second furball to keep her cat Billy company. She totally copied my idea, however, I have said that I’d help out by asking for name ideas… As the majority of my readers are evil geniuses, I figured someone would […]

Dangers of Dofollow

03 May

I have been a supporter of the “dofollow” movement since before it became a movement. I’ve talked about its disadvantages before, but none were so apparent as the one that came to light this week. Digital Point forums is filled with spammers and sploggers trying to make a quick buck. While this is normally harmless […]
