Jem's field notes

Wow, the start to this month has been busy. Karl and I have been running around sorting “something” out that I really want to tell everyone about but can’t yet because I don’t want to jinx it. I’ve got some major projects going on at work that all seem to have arrived at the same… read full entry »

Reviewed: no idea Site URL: tutorials.delinquente.org I was tempted to name this review “how not to do a tutorial site”, but I don’t want to break with tradition. On one hand my super spider-sense says that I’m about to commit a major faux pas by reviewing you because you’re only 13, but hey — if… read full entry »

(note: bear with the layout, I’m just bored & fiddling..) ..because my patience is getting shorter and I cannot seem to find any decent websites or blogs of late. Starting from least annoying, moving on to most annoying (obviously). 5. You have nothing worth coming back for. Such an obvious answer. The issue here is… read full entry »

It’s Thursday, and I haven’t blogged since Monday. This is absolutely shocking! For those who haven’t noticed, this layout is only temporary as it is.. it’s not finished. Stop pestering me, I’m busy with work. :P Not bad busy though, still enjoying it. Life is so good right now I’m wondering what is going to… read full entry »

Reviewed: Sarah Site URL: 3till7.net I’m having difficulty starting this review. Most reviews I start off with a quick summary of my first impression of a website — it’s hard to do that when you’ve been visiting a website for years. Your new layout is not my favourite. I think the swirly zigzag pattern is… read full entry »

You get your website back online and you’re at a forum and people are discussing how insecure another script is right in front of your eyes. Do you: a) continue… read full entry »

I decided to randomly treat myself for no particular reason on Friday and bought two new gamer t-shirts, which I have (badly) photographed and added to my collection. I’ve also been wasting time on fanlistings.. whee! If like me, you’re a Stumbler, you might want to join the StumbleUpon fanlisting: Thumbs Up! (Because some of… read full entry »

I’ve had a hilarious comment left on my Chavs article (unapproved at the moment, I can’t stand the chat speak). Anyway, thought it proved my point about chavs brilliantly: becky (e-mail removed) has left a comment on scr-chavs actually im a chav i think we smash it and we not dumb u just think we… read full entry »

Got bored of black so I decided to go with old trusty blue. I will be adding a header image .. when I can be bothered :P

I haven’t had time of late to do a detailed analysis of scripts that I’ve found to be unsafe for whatever reason, so I’m going to do a quick flick through of my list with basic reasons why. I’ll also try and provide links to “safe” alternatives where possible. Skip links: Simpbook, XueBook, PHPFanBase, Enthusiast3,… read full entry »
