I wrote a tutorial on adding a captcha into BellaBook3.2 this evening, so if you’re using it and are one of the unfortunate few (hah) plagued by spam, you might want a take a look. I’ve implemented it into my BellaBook theme demo guestlog, so if you want to test it by adding a message… read full entry »
I didn’t go into work today because I wasn’t feeling great and instead, spent most of the day munching on dry toast to get over the sicky feeling in my tummy. Anyway, come this afternoon I was feeling a bit better so decided to pop to the shop and drop some CDs in for my… read full entry »
Reviewed: Sami Site URL: sami.sophistichiq.com First impression: too much text. I like reading websites — they’re quite interesting — I don’t like being chucked in at the deep end though. An introduction should be a few sentences maximum, preferably with a few keywords nicely highlighted for me to pick up as I scan. If these… read full entry »

My letter, as predicted by the majority of us, was not published or replied to. It did help me get that ‘moment’ off my chest though, heh…. read full entry »

A logo or type of branding that is instantly recognisable — much like the Coca-Cola™ bottles or the Nike ‘tick’. The problem with this is finding something that fits the site, that I actually like, and that I can… read full entry »
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter Stolen from Lisa who stole it from someone’s LJ user info who apparently stole it from Dr. Seuss.
I can’t decide if this is really cool, or really sad.. I’m sat on a comfy reclining padded garden chair, under a gazebo (tent-like thing), munching on chocolate dairy cream eclairs, sipping blackcurrant ribena whilst wirelessly accessing the Internet. All of this at the same time as considering ideas laid out in Defensive Design for… read full entry »
I had some dental work done this morning. Firstly, it meant I had to get up pre-dinner time (bastards), and secondly I ended up with several sharp objects rammed in my gob. Of course, it is my own fault for eating copious amounts of cappucino fudge bought from The Pink Sugar Mouse and not brushing… read full entry »
