Amanda probed the depths of my soul for an interview as part of her ‘Interviews With Site Owners’ series.

Sticking a few functions (aka methods) inside “class Something { }” does not make your code object oriented. Learn the fucking principles before you try and educate other people, dickweed. I’m looking at you here.

I was trying to renew a domain for work earlier this week. After logging in to the control panel, I clicked the “Renew Domains” button and was presented with: Database error: Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM domains dom, members mem WHERE dom.dom_id = AND (dom.dom_registrant = ##### OR dom.dom_admin = ##### OR dom.dom_technical = #####… read full entry »

A thread at some random forum asking how you make your WordPress links look like “this, this, this” popped up in my tutorialtastic referrers, so I figured I’d post how I do it here. Firstly, you’ll want to alter the way WordPress displays the links. I do so using the following snippet: <ul class="inlinelist"> <?php… read full entry »

One of the requested features for NinjaLinks was to allow users to specify a link button that will be used to link back to a site instead of / as well as normal text.

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 »

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.

I’ve upgraded my WordPress this evening, after having waited until my StumbleUpon traffic slowed a bit (yes, still getting hits from them) because I didn’t want to present a bunch of Stumblers with errors if it all went wrong. After doing so, I went on the hunt for a couple of plugins, and have come… read full entry »

Cuil, apparently pronounced “cool”, is the hot topic in the tech/Internet industry at the moment. It’s a new search engine bragging about a bigger index than our beloved Google. I couldn’t possibly begin to second guess their claims because in truth I know bugger all about search engines. However, I do know that where Cuil… read full entry »
