“Eeeeeeeeee!” is the sound one makes when something you’ve quite positively slaved over for hundreds of years has a fanlisting made to celebrate it! I don’t care how generally pointless they are, there is nothing better than knowing a person (in this case, Amelie) likes something you’ve done so much that they’re going to dedicate […]

Handy Ubuntu Apps/Links
In true chuck-myself-in-at-the-deep-end Jem style, I’ve been fiddling with Ubuntu again because there are certain things I want/need to learn. After spending several hours trying to familiarise myself with all the basic crap, I’ve started downloading some handy stuff that I figured I’d share, along with some useful links. Automatix — Automatix is a graphical […]
Writing Your Own CMS
Firstly, this is not a tutorial on how to write your own Content Management System (CMS).. if I were to write a tutorial on creating a basic CMS it’d be featured on tutorialtastic. This is just a list of things to consider when you decide to embark on the adventure of writing your own CMS. […]
Enthusiast3 – Potential Security Risk
An Enthusiast3 user recently asked at thefanlistings.org message board how people were inserting non-standard data via the join form using what should be a restricted drop-down menu. The answer to that bit was easy: form spoofing. This bit is not important, it is possible to do this for many, many forms on the Internet. The […]
Success of BellaBook
It might seem pompous or pretentious to sit here, about to discuss the success of BellaBook, when it clearly isn’t on the same level as WordPress and other scripts of that ilk. On the other hand, it has it’s fair share of users.. and that scares me. I couldn’t be more pleased that people like […]

Ooh, Aren’t I Clever?
I’ve invented a new method of skinning. Oh yes, me, I am the best. :P No one else gets the code yet, ’cause it’s one of the new tutorials on tutorialtastic (or it will be, when the site is up). Basically, it’s smaller and tidier than the original method of skinning that seems to be […]
My BellaBook Is Being Spammed!
Alright, so no one has actually said it to me yet, but I can see it coming. People are getting spam in BellaBook3.1 — and it’s their own fault (honest!). BellaBook users are not making use of the features in the script. My personal installation of BellaBook hasn’t been spammed yet. Not once. Not at […]
Referral Logs
I’ve been keeping an eye on my referral logs since I released BB3.1 so I know who’s using it and so I can keep track of potential bugs or ideas for new features (thinking about BB3.2 already!) So, when I came across a forum earlier and saw the words “I refuse to use Bella Book” […]
Hoorah! BellaBook3.1
As promised, it is now Friday and here I am finally releasing BellaBook3.1. I must admit, there was a bit of last minute panic. I didn’t think I was going to release it on time because all of a sudden errors that weren’t there before starting appearing — despite not having edited any files. I […]
