I haven’t had time of late to do a detailed analysis of scripts that I’ve found to be unsafe for whatever reason, so I’m going to do a quick flick through of my list with basic reasons why. I’ll also try and provide links to “safe” alternatives where possible. Skip links: Simpbook, XueBook, PHPFanBase, Enthusiast3, […]

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. […]
And Another Review: blueberriez.com
When I decide to do an unrequested review, even if the site has been suggested to me by someone else, I have to personally find something irritating on the site before I’ll even consider ranting about it. It can be anything that sets me off — bad coding, useless content or an annoying webmaster. So, […]
Unrequested review of blueberriez.com
Reviewed: Nile Site URL: blueberriez.com Aw, look, it’s that cute panda thing! I think the company behind the TarePanda™ character (San-x I believe?) must be really generous to give so many people on the web permission to use their images. Unless of course you’re breaking the law and using images you have no rights over? […]
Pixelfx.org
You’d think the fact that I wrote a scathing 3000+ word review of Pixelfx.org would be enough to express my general distaste for the “quality” of the tutorials featured there, but it’s just not enough. I’m going to repeat myself until I get the point across.. or at least until a few people tell me […]
New Entry Category: Pants
Blogging twice in one day? What is the world coming to? Yes, that means there’s a post below this one. Don’t forget to read it and comment on that one too. :P Anyway, back on topic — I have a new category! For those of you who couldn’t immediately guess, my new category is called […]
Unrequested review of fallen-rose.com
Reviewed: Kayla Site URL: fallen-rose.com 10 seconds.. 25 seconds.. 40 seconds.. 1 minute 20 seconds.. For crying out loud! I’ve been on your website almost two minutes now and your top image hasn’t loaded. I’d keep counting but I’ve forgot where I got to. And your top image is STILL loading, even after typing this. […]
Review of band-o.org
Reviewed: Kathleen Site URL: band-o.org I seem to be reviewing the skin “RockyBliss”. My first impression involves the word “cack” so I’m not sure if I should continue. The background colour, while obviously selected from the top photograph, is tediously plain and doesn’t compliment your layout like it should. A pattern, or anything to break […]
Unrequested review of pixelfx.org
Reviewed: No idea, didn’t bother to find out. Site URL: pixelfx.org Generally I only direct my unrequested reviews at other review sites of poor quality — a taste of their own medicine. However, having seen pixelfx.org mentioned about 6 times today I’m getting more and more infuriated at the amount of people relying on the […]
Review: pixelfx.org
Ah, I had one of those moments yesterday where I visited a website and it just screamed “review me”. About 9 hours later and I finally think I’ve finished. That is, unless I decide to “have a moment” and add to it. I won’t post the entire review in this post as that would a) […]
