Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.
Those of you interested in coding and programing — specifically those of you who are dabbling with releasing your own scripts — are probably already aware of my lengthy rambles on sanitising input data, not trusting anything, etc etc. However, where I leave you to discover the nuances of individual language security on your own,… read full entry »
What the bloody hell has gone wrong with Feedburner? I logged in yesterday to try and figure out why my feed subscriber count had dropped from 561 (highest it’s ever been) to two hundred and something, to see a notice from Google about the whole shebang moving over to feedburner.google.com. “Click here to move your… read full entry »
As much as I promised myself I never would — because I have web space, why not use it? — I got a flickr the other day to view some friends-only photos, and then actually uploaded some pictures today. I suck, I know. It was just too much hassle to finish off the gallery script… read full entry »
My apologies if you came to the site earlier and found it unavailable. The server I am on was down for over 7 hours this morning. It’s annoying, and sad. It’s sad, because I had over 2 years of fantastic uptime from Site5, they moved me to a new server last year and now I… read full entry »

As I’m sure many of you have already heard, the sexy Amanda of Jingwen flew over to the UK this week. After having trained it in to Telford with Rachael and Ben, she was met by Amelie, Sarah and myself for a day of jollies. Much conversation was had about penises (and whether or not… read full entry »
tutorialtastic got just under 10,000 unique hits from StumbleUpon this week, and I didn’t even notice because I’ve been neglecting the site for so long. How bad does that make me feel? Terrible, I tell you. If you’re a tutorialtastic fan, don’t think too badly of me. It’s not that I’m actually neglecting the site,… read full entry »
Has anyone else been having problems with Amazon lately? I did a lot of my Christmas stuff online thanks to the Amazon Prime trial. Free next day delivery is a bonus in anyone’s eyes! Anyway, when I did some seriously last minute shopping 3 days before Christmas and tried to check out, Amazon had suddenly… read full entry »
Some 8-9 years ago when I started knocking up pages in my Geocities page builder, I specified 8pt Verdana and considered myself ahead of the curve because my site text was bigger than most at the time. A couple of years later (or thereabouts) I learned that pt was bad — pt, or ‘point’, is… read full entry »
Some time in 2008 I approached Ben with a view to taking CSSbake off his hands. It hadn’t been updated in a while and it seemed such a shame to let a good domain name go to waste. Thankfully — because now my time is dedicated to rev.iew.me instead — he turned me down, and… read full entry »
