Follow these tips and be l33ter than me in no time at all… 1. Rename your files to “.php” and chuck in a couple of PHP includes (sorry, I meant “headers and footers”) for good measure — because that’s all PHP is, right? 2. Take an already crap script, make a couple of even crappier… read full entry »

It’s never occurred to me that people actually use Funky Chickens as a valid resource for learning HTML. In fact, even after it was nominated for one of my infamous reviews (on several occasions) it wasn’t until I saw it linked alongside tutorialtastic as a valid place to learn code that I thought .. “eh?… read full entry »

I’ve tried to comment on about 12-15 blogs this past couple of days. All using WordPress, all ATE my comment. Not literally ate, but put me into moderation each time. It’s beginning to get really bloody irritating, because I know for a fact that I have commented on all of these sites many times before…. read full entry »

…all I can think to write about is a load of whingy bollocks. And, I also hate it when: I (unintentionally) bite the inside of my cheek four times in a row, causing my mouth to swell and bleed, making chewing impossible. People talk about me in “private” forums (what’s particularly amusing though, is that… read full entry »

Sometimes I wonder if I take on too much because I am paranoid about letting people down (irrelevant of who they are). I can’t decide if this is an ego thing (i.e. must prove I can do this, must show my skill) or an inbuilt desire to prove that I am actually a nice, helpful… read full entry »

Vixx let the cat out of the bag (not that it was a secret, mind) at CodeGrrl recently about me taking on phpFanBase. I’ve made no secret of my dislike for it in its current form so I figured it was probably about time I stopped whinging and actually did something about it… and then… read full entry »

About 50-60% of my female visitors will have heard of The Martini Lounge. It’s a few years old now, and for the most part used to have a positive reputation for being somewhere that ladies could hang out and chat at without blokes pestering us, and without the typical e-drama/etc that happens at a lot… read full entry »

Forget rounded corners, forget one-column layouts — web tutorials are definitely hot at the moment. Or, maybe as I gain knowledge myself I’m noticing other people’s poor attempts more? Either way, every day I find a new handful of websites and each one seems to have their own selection of tutorials. Of course, I say… read full entry »

In December I posted to a thread at the fanlistings message board where a member was advertising their little hosting business. Replying to several other members who were ooh-ing and aah-ing at the prices, I pointed out that they weren’t that great and that after commotion regarding other generic teenybopper hosting it might be wise… read full entry »
