The Dreaded Laser Cutter

Cleaning and maintaining the laser cutter at work is somewhat ominous. Not because it’s worth around £15,000 and should I break it, it’d take me over two years to earn enough cash to pay for it on my meagre part-time wage — nope, more because of the key word: laser. Now, I’m not talking one […]

Domain Names

Now that my idiot-induced, thobbing vein of a rage at the stupidity of some internet thieves has boiled over, I can return to normal posting. I apologise to my non-drama-driven readers for that momentary outburst. I was reading an entry over at Jeff Hendrickson Design about one of Google’s latest patent applications. It apparently covers […]

Sucks To Be You Now

The one major downside to offering free stuff — graphics; photography; tutorials; scripts or in this case: wordpress themes — is that there’s always someone out there willing to steal them, and then butcher the fuck out of them with their ugly stolen celebrity photos. So, Ana aka Evenso, age: “Old enough to know better” […]

Writing Your Own CMS

Firstly, this is not a tutorial on how to write your own Content Management System (CMS).. if I were to write a tutorial on creating a basic CMS it’d be featured on tutorialtastic. This is just a list of things to consider when you decide to embark on the adventure of writing your own CMS. […]

New month, new look

I decided not to take part in the CSS Reboot this year because I figured I a) wouldn’t have the inspiration and b) wouldn’t have the time to get a new layout up. I also figured I’d still be able to entertain myself playing with my rainbow navigation. However, when going over the photos from […]

A General ‘Me’ Update

I figured as the last two posts have been coding related I should probably do a bit of a general update so everybody knows how things are going. That, and my coding posts seem to confuse people.. The most annoying thing at the moment is that I still have my cold. I can’t seem to […]

Enthusiast3 – Potential Security Risk

An Enthusiast3 user recently asked at thefanlistings.org message board how people were inserting non-standard data via the join form using what should be a restricted drop-down menu. The answer to that bit was easy: form spoofing. This bit is not important, it is possible to do this for many, many forms on the Internet. The […]

Trendy Active CSS Tabs

You know how CSS navigation is all the rage, and that some people are going as far as having the current tab a different colour or style so that people know what page they’re on? Well, it’s easier to achieve than you think. No fiddling with JavaScript, no messing with multiple header includes so you […]

Oh, we do like to be beside the seaside!

I’m home. Well, actually, that’s a lie, I’m at work and I’ve finished for the day so I have nothing better to do for the next hour until Karl finishes and picks me up. That’s not the point.. The holiday was good. A nice break away from things — from silly whingy people, the Internet […]

Off On Holiday

I do not approve comments from people looking for freebie link backs, and all links to URLs left by people I don’t know are automatically nofollowed.
