To those who brought it up, yes I am aware that the site loads ‘plain’ (without colour) when you first visit if you’ve not seen the new layouts before. This is to do with the cookies in the JavaScript style switcher, at a guess. Anyway, to get past this simply refresh or choose a theme… read full entry »
So, as you see, December 1st brings some new layouts and a few updates to some older pages. For the most part the new themes are based on what was voted the favourite out of my old ones. They are all fluid and have fully resizable text; some other new accessibility features will be implemented… read full entry »
In a way this post is mislabeled, because it’s not really WordPress and more a case of badly set permissions.. Anyway, to get to the point: I’ve been to several weblogs today based on WordPress which have been exploited because of dodgy set permissions. Unfortunately at the time I’ve had several websites open generally and… read full entry »
I’ve actually been putting off blogging for the past week or so because everything I’ve want to write about has been job-orientated, and I didn’t want to go and get myself dooced before I’ve even been given the job. Anyway, I think it’s safe to say that I had two interviews for new jobs all… read full entry »
Because it’s been a while since I’ve posted a completely pointless plug-only post, and you are probably fed up of my nose-picking post with associated mental-imagery. Threadless.com: Scrabble t-shirt — this is why I wish I had a decent card, instead of just a crappy British debit card that they don’t accept so please stop… read full entry »
This is the best thing I’ve read all year: Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor. There’s medical evidence for this, I swear: “Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune… read full entry »
I was going to take part in the 2005 National Novel Writing Month but dropped out a week into November after realising I had far too much on (what with job apps, etc.) and yet have still been receiving the NaNoWriMo e-mails: I’m too lazy to untick a box on the appropriate page. Anyway, I… read full entry »
If you’re using FA-PHPHosting, PHPClique, PHPCalendar, PHPCurrently, PHPFanBase or PHPQuotes there’s security risks that need to be addressed. You can find more information on Amelie’s website. I knew I spotted something dodgy with phpFanBase about mid-October, when I spent so much time staring at it helping Ang.nu to convert. I e-mailed the creator and never… read full entry »
I can’t have a crochet hobby without some wool. Pretty obvious statement really, but a good point all the same. I went surfing for wool on the Internet yesterday with the preconception that I’d be able to find a website, specify whether I wanted thick or thin, choose a colour and have it sent. I… read full entry »
I’ve been crocheting basic blanket squares for as long as I can remember. My mum would start me off and I’d crochet and crochet. I stopped for a while when I discovered the Internet, and only recently picked up again; in an attempt to finish a blanket I started that was supposed to be ready… read full entry »
