Given that my current course module thingy is on JavaScript, I expected to unearth a love for JavaScript that I didn’t know I had. I wanted to use the time to explore the quirks of the language, and its uses beyond the basics which I’ve picked up working in web dev. Quite by coincidence, a […]

Site5 Sold Out
I’ve been using Site5 as my web host for several years now, both personally and professionally, and have had nothing but great experiences. The support team even helped me with my mysql errors despite it being a script issue (before I moved back to WordPress), and the affiliate payout system is financing my hosting 2008-09, […]
Disastrous Day
I’ve had a heavy workload for the past few weeks which means work has been quite hectic — and the reason why I’ve not been online in the evenings of late — but today was particularly ridiculous. Within 10 minutes of getting into work, I had a dead system on my hands. The Dell we […]
Bloody Akismet
You know how I mentioned that I was being spammed by link-droppers on dofollow posts? Well, this was despite running Akismet. It turns out, that on top of *not* picking up the blatant link-dropping, it was falsely listing some of my long-time readers as spam! Fook knows how long that’s been going on, I never […]
Netrillium Sucks – Avoid Netrillium
Approximately 10 months ago, I wrote up my findings on Frozen Midnight. Some time this month, FMH disappeared into oblivion and I’ve seen quite a few of its remaining customers jump ship. In celebration of what I hope is a victory for the good hosts, I’ve compiled some thoughts on Netrillium (a bad host) and […]
Piss Off Spammers
I’ve disabled DoFollow. >:O The amount of incoming spammy-URL comments was greater than the amount of genuine ones. I’ll find another way to reward regular commenters.
How to Look Like a Total Twat
Step one: Go to your local friendly coding help request forum, e.g. CodeGrrl. Staffed voluntarily, out of enjoyment of the subject matter. Step two: Only ever post requests for help Step three: Leave abuse — because Googling “implementing a php captcha” is too damned strenuous. Tada! Steps complete: you now look like a cunt.
Simpsons Ditched for Baywatch
I may be slightly biased as a big fan of The Simpsons, but I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read this story on the BBC today: The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children – and has been replaced by Baywatch. Simpsons ditched by Venezuelan TV […]
Sod you, you and you.
I’ve had a bloody shit day and it can’t end soon enough. What with mail issues for a major client (who I really get on with, so it annoys me on a personal level) that seem to be never ending — despite the fact that everything seems OK at server level — and the gas […]
What the Hell?
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 […]
