According to Millie, “Everyone needs to know the proper usage of basic HTML” and that includes <font face=”tahoma”> and <your text here</u>. And don’t forget to customise your blockquote elements with the following snippet: 00px; text-align: left; border-top: 0px dotted #; border-left: 2px solid #000000; border-right: 0px solid #; border-bottom: 0px solid #; padding: 5px;… read full entry »

I found an entry at “cranky.nu” on Tutorials you don’t need – unless you’re an idiot (one of my old tutorialtastic tutorials is linked) and LOLed. It’s all true, except maybe: What shocks me the most is that the majority of the people who releases these “tutorials” explains they are doing so because “I get… read full entry »

I left a comment on an entry earlier at noupe.com, re: “WordPress Security Tips”. Now, aside from the fact that the entire entry consists of tips ripped from other sites and balled into one, the first tip incorrectly states that by using $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] a person is able to search your entire server. Talk about spreading… read full entry »

I’ve had to restart this about 4 times now, because each time I decide to finish off, I get half way and somehow lose the file. I don’t know about l33t PHP Ninja; recently I’ve been l33t file loser. Anyway, quick recap: in Part Two of the PHP Beginners Guide I briefly covered the basic… read full entry »

It’s unfortunately holding its ground in the browser market… read full entry »

I bought the February 2008 copy of .net magazine today, and I’m flicking through just randomly until I spot this titbit in the expert advice section, in response to someone who wants a PHP login page: You can do this by joining the password and the key together and by generating an MD5 checksum of… read full entry »

Amelie, her partner, and Katy came for a little “wii party” yesterday, as a belated birthday celebration. The wii part was fun, and Amelie bought me Super Mario Galaxy which was totally uber (and mucho unexpected!) However, the part of the evening that got me most fired up was not plungering rabbids in Rayman, or… read full entry »

I get a lot of people sending me e-mails, or using my Q&A thing to ask me how I did my dynamic/changing sidebars on the site. I think people over-complicate it and assume it’s a magic PHP thing when really, it’s not. Now, you have to bear in mind I don’t use WordPress and my… read full entry »

Back when I first heard of XHTML it seemed like a brilliant idea. Here was a type of mark-up with rules, and rules mean an excuse to be my normal perfectionist self. It wasn’t long before I’d converted all 200+ pages of my website to this beautiful, lower-case, tidy syntax and was getting the green… read full entry »
