Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.
I’m having a great day so far. I opened my inbox to a very pretty “Happy Valentines” photograph from Han (who I’m yet to thank, oops) and an e-mail from my mummy telling me that her flowers are beautiful. I had actually forgotten that I’d ordered them, so it was like a big double surprise… read full entry »
Vixx let the cat out of the bag (not that it was a secret, mind) at CodeGrrl recently about me taking on phpFanBase. I’ve made no secret of my dislike for it in its current form so I figured it was probably about time I stopped whinging and actually did something about it… and then… read full entry »
Mint, my stats tracker of choice, was upgraded recently. There’s even a nice little button which has appeared at the top of my install telling me so (). How sweet… and yet completely pointless because I can’t see me upgrading anytime soon. “!?!” you proclaim. “But you always encourage updating your scripts!” I hear you… read full entry »
I was sent the link to Beautiful Day/Piczo Help earlier as a nomination for a Pants Awards. I was going to give one but I can’t be bothered to type all that crap out so I will say: shut your bloody whining you ungrateful tit. You just can’t expect to be able to redistribute some… read full entry »
About 50-60% of my female visitors will have heard of The Martini Lounge. It’s a few years old now, and for the most part used to have a positive reputation for being somewhere that ladies could hang out and chat at without blokes pestering us, and without the typical e-drama/etc that happens at a lot… read full entry »
Forget rounded corners, forget one-column layouts — web tutorials are definitely hot at the moment. Or, maybe as I gain knowledge myself I’m noticing other people’s poor attempts more? Either way, every day I find a new handful of websites and each one seems to have their own selection of tutorials. Of course, I say… read full entry »
In December I posted to a thread at the fanlistings message board where a member was advertising their little hosting business. Replying to several other members who were ooh-ing and aah-ing at the prices, I pointed out that they weren’t that great and that after commotion regarding other generic teenybopper hosting it might be wise… read full entry »
Those of you who’ve been readers of jemjabella for a while now may remember me talking about the quilting bee this time last year. I’m going to talk about it again for a while. Things have changed since last year. I’m no longer just a wide-eyed little bee in a swarm of buzzing buddies —… read full entry »
Due to the relative simplicity of PHP, more and more young webmasters are getting their hooks into scripting. This can be a good thing — it increases the range of functionality and fun that we can add to our websites without the need to learn how to code ourselves — the problem is, a lot… read full entry »
A CAPTCHA is “a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human” (source). More specifically this little rant is aimed at the variety of images containing letters and/or numbers which may be distorted, placed on a background or otherwise messed with to supposedly prevent non-humans from getting… read full entry »
