I was busy at work today! There are only three of us in the office this week, or at least for the most part it’s just the three. Quite how we’re coping I don’t know, but we’re doing it somehow! One good thing about it is that I now feel much more part of the…

Are you using Internet Explorer? Do you wonder why this page doesn’t look right (i.e, there’s no menu bar on the right hand side where there should be one)? Don’t blame me, Blame Microsoft. It’s all their fault :-p

I don’t know why, but for some reason solving one problem always seems to bring up others. I’ve managed to get PHP working with creating files on Linux – but now there’s a problem with the ordering of them, or something. On the main page, the posts come up in a funny order, and I…

Just a quick post to say that I’m safely back at home 🙂 I had a really good course, I think it’s going to be very useful to me. Not just with work — with a lot of different stuff. For example, I’ve just resynced post counts and join dates over at Crossring… now it’s…

I am currently down in central London, on my training course (on a lunchbreak, just in case you think I’m actually writing this while meant to be working…). I haven’t got very much longer actually, so I’d better think about getting back soon. It’s going well. I’m staying with Philippa’s parents, which I think was…

Well, nothing much interesting has happened over the past couple of days. At least, nothing noteworthy. It was Philippa’s birthday and we went out for a meal last night, which was cool 🙂 I’m doing a training course this week in central London, it’s at a place called Spring IT which is near Liverpool St…

Apologies for the cryptic title, but – remember how in 2000, everyone was talking about how we were all promised we’d be living in silver jumpsuits by the year 2000, and none of that had materialised? Well, something might be about to materialise in the not-too-distant future: flying cars. I would imagine, with sod’s law…

I’m talking about Oracle’s software. There is ALWAYS something seemingly small and insignificant that goes wrong, but it ALWAYS takes ages to fix… ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Ah well, that’s the way it goes, I guess. Especially when you’re working with Linux (I like it, apart from the fact that I find it difficult sometimes because I’m not…

Well, it seems like I can use PHP OK on my Linux box, except for the fact that I can’t write any files… if anyone’s got any ideas as for permissions, let me know. I’ve tried setting chmod 777 html and chown phill:apache html but it hasn’t seemed to make much difference. So if anyone’s…

I might think about moving over to a new web host soon. OpenHosting have served me well, but they are a tad expensive… I’ve found a hosts called UH-Hosting, and they seem to be pretty cheap. The main thing is, MySQL databases – with OpenHosting you have to pay extra per year. Another option is…
