Amanda probed the depths of my soul for an interview as part of her ‘Interviews With Site Owners’ series.

I was trying to renew a domain for work earlier this week. After logging in to the control panel, I clicked the “Renew Domains” button and was presented with: Database error: Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM domains dom, members mem WHERE dom.dom_id = AND (dom.dom_registrant = ##### OR dom.dom_admin = ##### OR dom.dom_technical = #####… read full entry »

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. Unless you’re coding at the age of 3, I don’t want to hear it. I cannot repeat enough: children today have access to the Internet at a… read full entry »

When you’re ordering people to follow these badly written rules: 1. Don’t direct link. Seriously, don’t waiste my bandwidth, or yeah. If something has been direct linked, I will delete it without warning and change its location, that way you’ll lose the image. 2. Don’t steal, trade, etc. Don’t claim these as your own.

The big G has dropped me down 1 ‘position’ on all sites; although not surprising given the lack of useful updates of late.

Tess has done a write-up in the same vein as my Handling the Critics post called Handling the Pants Awards. It’s cute, and I literally laughed out loud, but it also makes a few serious points. Of course, the people who should read it probably never will, but that’s irrelevant. Incidentally, I’ve had a draft… read full entry »

I’m currently being pounded by StumbleUpon users thumbs-up’ing my geek t-shirts page, so will finally see tonight whether WordPress is capable of filling the gaps that my custom blog system left wide open. Just to be on the safe-side, I’ve installed WP Super Cache, which was the primary reason for ditching the theme switcher and… read full entry »

There’s a problem with the Ajax book finder in the current version of BellaBiblio, caused by an update on Amazon’s side of things. There is a patch which was sent over to me by Mat earlier today for those running PHP5 only, but because I’m “mid-report” for my course I’ve not had time to give… read full entry »
