Tonight I have mostly been playing with…
Thursday, December 13th, 2007Tonight I have mostly been playing with the php5, the Zend Framework and the Gdata API. Nothing to show yet because I’m getting to grips with it although the impworks web site is now entirely php5 driven. Although thats not really very impressive as all I did was change a htaccess file so the php […]

Mysterious World (Wide Web)
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007I posted this snowflake picture on my impworks web site ages ago. It normally gets a few visitors a week but nothing to blog about. A few weeks ago it started getting more and more visitors every day. Obviously it’s seasonal but that page doesn’t have great page rank in google or a high position […]

Blogs What I Read Recently
Saturday, December 8th, 2007Having switched to Google Reader I find the list of blogs I follow expanding. Here are three which I’ve started on recently that I think are worth sharing… That very British and yet somehow subversive institution which is Stephen Fry John August – screen writer currently out on strike in the US Ken Levine – […]

Heroes: The Lost Consonant Game
Friday, December 7th, 2007I was walking home from work today and was struck by something silly. I was playing a mental word game to keep my mind of the torrential rain. Thats important because towards the end of the walk I pass a row of take aways and so there is a real danger of replacing a healthy […]

Joomla Day
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007Having previously looked at Mambo today I found myself looking at Joomla which is so similar it might almost be the same but somehow in the end tastes slightly different. I can think of only one word to describe the difference based on a very quick look at each – Joomla felt cleaner. Which has […]

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007After a brief rest from all that blogging here is my last NaBloPoMo post this year.

Friday Sillyness
Friday, November 30th, 2007This article on the BBC web site intrigued me earlier Boys of 12 ‘abusing asteroids’. Turns out I’d miss read it and it was Boys of 12 ‘abusing steroids’ serious but no where near as intriguing. Angel wings ‘unsafe’ for nativity. Political Correctness not the same as Health and Safety. Plus isn’t the BBC giving […]

Goodbye Technorati Hello Google Reader
Friday, November 23rd, 2007I’ve been using Technorati for 18 months to keep track of my favourite blogs but of late the service has been unreliable. Fortunately Google Reader has now come out of the Google Labs and so tonight I switched all the feeds I follow over to it.

I sure pick the day to mess with American History
Friday, November 23rd, 2007I’ve been using the wibbly wobbly web and associated Internet thingy for well over a decade now. In that time I’ve made friends all over the world including America. Funny thing is that today is the first time I can remember being wished happy thanksgiving. Its not just happened once though but several times. Anyway […]
