Waiting for my spuds to roast before CSI Miami…

You know it’s funny, I was contemplating taking part in the NaBloPoMo again this year, and yet here I am barely able to update once a week, let alone once a frickin’ day! It’s not necessarily for any set reason; work has slowed down a little — at least enough for my keyboard to stop… read full entry »


Windows XP Oopsie

Sometimes — even though I quite like Windows XP — I too have to admit it has its little… moments: You too could connect to ‘nothing’ with super duper Windows XP!

If you’re running BellaBiblio and need the PHP5 Amazon patch for the Ajax functionality, it is now available for download.


Wearing the Pants Well

I’ve added a short note about Cutenews on my Unsafe PHP Scripts page.
