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… read full entry »


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… read full entry »

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… read full entry »

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… read full entry »

You Get What You Pay For!

It’s funny, the last time I was looking to switch my host I was given the URL to GoDaddy.com several times — “because they’re the cheapest around!” Well, you certainly get what you bloody pay for, and I’m glad I went for the tiny-bit-more-expensive site5. Why? GoDaddy sucks. I’ve been helping a friend get her… read full entry »

I Think I’m Dying

I have sniffles and snot and a headache. My muscles have turned to wibbly jelly and my favourite mini cheesecakes from Tesco taste like ..well, nothing. :( I need sympathy because that’ll magically make me better again. Well, it probably won’t, but do it anyway. PS. Hi Rose :) Edit: D’uh! I totally forgot to… read full entry »

Odds and Ends

I’ve added a new stylesheet for large resolution users (recommended for 1280×1024 and above). It’s the same theme, it just features larger text and a larger content area. If for some reason you click that link and didn’t mean to you can reset your theme choice on the set theme page. Thank you for the… read full entry »

Success of BellaBook

It might seem pompous or pretentious to sit here, about to discuss the success of BellaBook, when it clearly isn’t on the same level as WordPress and other scripts of that ilk. On the other hand, it has it’s fair share of users.. and that scares me. I couldn’t be more pleased that people like… read full entry »

New Stylesheet

It’s quite amusing, really, that my code has come to the point where I can simply say “new stylesheet” instead of “new layout”.. ’cause in the end it means the same thing. Anyway, I got bored of the dull colours in my last layout and decided to go way-back to my rainbow days. I’m aware… read full entry »
