Blogging for over 25 years
I think this is the longest I’ve been without blogging for no good reason in ages! I’ve set a new record, hoorah. Although strictly speaking there has been a good reason. Me, being my usual standards-nazi self decided to use my new position at the q*bee as an excuse to tidy up all of those… read full entry »
I haven’t got anything remotely interesting personal-wise to update with so I’ll just occupy you with details of what’s going on with me online at the moment. Firstly, I celebrated my 3rd ‘anniversary’ of being in the quilting bee on Saturday, and at the same time announced that the club is now mine! *evil cackle*… read full entry »
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… read full entry »
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.

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…. read full entry »
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… read full entry »
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… read full entry »
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… read full entry »
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… read full entry »
