Last month (13th July) I wrote a post highlighting some major flaws in the way Frozen Midnight (or Jamie Timbre) does business, seemingly defrauding innocent customers out of money with claims of DoS attacks, phishing, etc. Shortly after making the post, I was contacted by somebody claiming to be a fellow school pupil of Jamie… read full entry »
Some of you may remember that I was given a new computer at work at the end of last month (an AMD Althon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5000 beast). I can assure you all it’s working fantastically. In fact, it’s working too fantastically. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been getting home and finding my… read full entry »
Just wanted to say HI! to all the stumblers coming this way because of my PHP Security Master post :) Thanks for the thumbs ups!
As a kid I always loved McDonald’s. Didn’t get the opportunity to go very often because Mum generally refused to let us eat “that shit” but when I was invited to a birthday party there, or something like that.. you bet I’d scoff that food down.

If you saw my “Named the Kitty” side-post, you’ll know we named him Hex. For those that didn’t get it: it’s a Terry Pratchett Discworld novel reference, a… read full entry »
Finally got off my butt and added to tutorialtastic today.
Back when I first heard of XHTML it seemed like a brilliant idea. Here was a type of mark-up with rules, and rules mean an excuse to be my normal perfectionist self. It wasn’t long before I’d converted all 200+ pages of my website to this beautiful, lower-case, tidy syntax and was getting the green… read full entry »
I was just reading an article on the BBC news website about the wikipedia “scanner” picking up on people using CIA computers to edit entries, modifications to Gerry Adams’ entry from the Vatican, etc. (source) …interesting enough in itself, but that’s not what I’m blogging about. When I got to the bottom I realised that… read full entry »
