What up, my homies! (Or Something…)

Hi-dee-ho! :) No thanks to the 150 or so spam messages in my inbox, here I am, online at last. Apparently I pissed someone off enough for them to want to sign my e-mail address up to 100+ newsletters. I’m guessing they didn’t count on the fact that in 3 clicks, I could run a… read full entry »

Away with Family

I’ll be preoccupied with visiting family for the next 3-4 days, so don’t expect any new entries until approximately the middle of next week. Don’t miss me too much you guys :P


PHP Security Tips

Because you can never know too much, and it’s about time I wrote a follow-up to my PHP Script Checklist article. 1. Never include sensitive data in a .inc When I started my current job, one of the first things I did was move all of the database connection details (yes, that includes passwords) from… read full entry »


Age Is a Bullshit Excuse

I’m sure I’ve covered this before, but screw it… I’m going to cover it again. Using your age as an excuse for being incapable of something is bullshit.

Retro Gaming – Transport Tycoon

Karl mentioned to me that Transport Tycoon Deluxe was available to download on Abandonia, so I hooked myself up with the download and expanded it with the free, open source OpenTTD (a fantastic project).

I finally updated jem.me — I’m going to use it as a collective for all of my mini sites :) (Thanks to Jacky for the fancy layout!)


WordPress Plugin Pet Peeves

I’ve upgraded my WordPress this evening, after having waited until my StumbleUpon traffic slowed a bit (yes, still getting hits from them) because I didn’t want to present a bunch of Stumblers with errors if it all went wrong. After doing so, I went on the hunt for a couple of plugins, and have come… read full entry »
