The long time readers amongst you may remember me reviewing a chap called Ronald Treitner (of designbytreitner.com) in February last year. The guy bases his entire reputation on the fact he validates his pages. However, I made it clear in my review of his website that validated or not, he still sucks epic balls as… read full entry »
One of my Snarkers is up for vote in the WPWebHost Best WordPress Design Awards. I don’t normally get involved in these sorts of online voting/award things because it’s just egotistical back-patting (and by that I really mean that I’m not good enough to be entered) but Mimi mentioned that the guy coming in second… read full entry »
It’s CSS Naked Day again :) Websites all over the world are stripping off to show you that, even without styles, a well-coded and semantically inclined site will still be readable. Visit the naked day site for more information and instructions on how to take part.
I’ve been an avid blog reader for years. As long as I’ve had my own… possibly longer. I read a huge variety of topics, too.

Stephanie told me that I have to blog. But, I don’t really have anything to blog about. Work continues at a reasonable pace bug-fixing and improving BellaBlocks, I’m still mid-way through implementing some code Mat worked on for me, and I’m still all out of sync from the move. Lucky I already broke my blog-a-day… read full entry »
Oh hai! I’m still alive :) ISP cocked up our connection move so an order that should have taken 24 hours or less to complete – giving us Internet the day after moving day – is now taking 7-10 days. We’re on day 4 now, so it shouldn’t be too long before I’m back on… read full entry »
12 hours of moving furniture yesterday, I’m absolutely knackered. Argh :| Anyway, not a proper blog, just wanted to let you all know that the Internet hasn’t been connected at the flat yet, the cats are settling in nicely, and the guinea pigs didn’t even notice we moved them really. A couple of people have… read full entry »
Less than 3 days to go until the big move. We’re almost living exclusively out of boxes at the moment. Anything remotely fun or interesting is packed away, as is most of the kitchen stuff (did that this evening). The only thing that isn’t packed — that’s next on my list — is the clothes…. read full entry »
Functions are the lifeblood of PHP. You can’t do a lot without PHP’s built-in functions, and life would get very tedious very quickly if you weren’t able to define your own in a script. Let’s take, for example, one of my scripts: BellaBook. BellaBook is a flat file guestbook and so constantly writes to files…. read full entry »
Those of you who missed out a couple of years ago when I gave a geek t-shirt (courtesy of syswear) away in my blog, might want to read on… I’ve teamed up with syswear again, only this time we’re offering a free geek t-shirt in the latest rev.iew.me contest. The member who earns the most… read full entry »
