Less than 3 days to go until the big move. We’re almost living exclusively out of boxes at the moment. Anything remotely fun or interesting is packed away, as is most of the kitchen stuff (did that this evening). The only thing that isn’t packed — that’s next on my list — is the clothes…. read full entry »
Functions are the lifeblood of PHP. You can’t do a lot without PHP’s built-in functions, and life would get very tedious very quickly if you weren’t able to define your own in a script. Let’s take, for example, one of my scripts: BellaBook. BellaBook is a flat file guestbook and so constantly writes to files…. read full entry »
I started to write an entry about an hour ago. I then got sidetracked trying to advise people in the quilting bee IRC, came back to finish it off and upon pressing submit, was presented with a login screen. My fucking session expired. Why the shitting hell I picked session based logins for my admin… read full entry »
Anyone following me on twitter may have since my minor temper tantrum in which I threatened violence towards my laptop on the 5th. Rest assured, I managed to get through the evening without beating it — or Karl — up, but it was a close call. Reason being (apart from raging hormones), I couldn’t get… read full entry »
Fudge is having a bit of a ‘soft’ day. He spent a large part of today rubbing himself up against me, the floor, the door and the walls. I pointed at him earlier today, and he came over and stood up to my finger, ‘grabbed’ it with his front paws and rubbed himself against it…. read full entry »
Those of you who missed out a couple of years ago when I gave a geek t-shirt (courtesy of syswear) away in my blog, might want to read on… I’ve teamed up with syswear again, only this time we’re offering a free geek t-shirt in the latest rev.iew.me contest. The member who earns the most… read full entry »
I’ve thought about writing this entry several times over the past few years. Each time, I decided against it because I’m aware that there are plenty of women out there who have it far worse than I do. Women who have to work for minimum wage to support their kids. Women who have to deal… read full entry »
I feel like shit, and have spent a proportion of the afternoon in bed so really shouldn’t be involving myself in this right now, but I can’t help it. Hacker News and Reddit have been bickering today on CSS vs. tables. I have, for the most part, kept out of it. Despite being an advocate… read full entry »
As I’m sure the majority not living under a rock may have heard, a lot of the UK woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. In fact, some of us woke up to a few inches of snow that only increased during the day. I was let home early from work this afternoon… read full entry »
Melly was talking earlier this week about Toad in the Hole, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it all week. I love the stuff. Normally, I buy the ready-made zap in oven stuff by Aunt Bessie’s, but I’ve gone off it in recent years (I can only assume they tweaked the recipe or something.) So… read full entry »
