Jay back in hospital - 2020
5th November 2020

So glad that you’re back in touch with reality, back at home and that you’re surrounded by friends and family.

AppleCrap

I love the iPhone 5. It's not that it's the absolute best phone spec wise, it's not that there is an extra row of icons.
For me It's just such a good feel in my hand, it's light but feels solid. The extra ~100px doesn't seem like much but when I'm reading*snip*

Spinal vs PHP
19th July 2012

I've had this problem on and off over the years.
The most common problem for me is usually a conflict with the port that I'm using for apache, it tends to have some interesting issues that make it look like apache is working, but php isn't, so I usually m*snip*

Sifteo blocks

This seems like a neat idea. having the ability to take a simple little block and tie them together to make a game.
I'm sure I've seen something similar somewhere but I'm not sure where. does anyone know of anything similar?

New Job oppotunity for me
11th July 2011

I find this part difficult, not because I'm perfect but I generally learn from mistakes so its not a failure or I research a task before attempting it. I understand no one is perfect and I have weaknesses but putting down something thats not too much*snip*

SQL syntax error trying to insert data...
31st March 2011

I jsut noticed that you have your $_POST variable inside the string. PHP just assumes that $_POST is a variable and ['stuffHere'] is a string. which is gonna cause trouble.
a simple (not best practise) way would be like this.

PHP security
22nd March 2011

"As far as user input goes, there's no need for me to sanitize it, at least not yet. You have to log on in order to submit anything at all to the DB, and there really isn't any need for me to have a system whereby people can create their own users."

PHP security
21st March 2011

The biggest mistake most developers make is NOT assuming that all data is malicious unless it is the exact type of input they are expecting.
Example: your sites url looks something like this (Linkage)
The ID should always be a number. If it’s not a num*snip*

As long as the site displays well in all browsers including but not limited to Netscape and IE6, that's a job well done as far as I'm concerned.

Every Single Time
28th February 2011

that's true. I spose I'd really be banking on the head start I'd have to scratch out at least a niche in the market.
Regardless if it's a massive success or not. It's a good resume/portfolio piece for me.

Every Single Time
24th February 2011

@stealth that's kind of the expanded idea of my site. It started out as searching for recipes based on ingredients but quickly expanded into a much larger set of features.

Variable management problem

could you not do it using a multidimensional array? that way you could keep track of each of the values and be able to figure our what order they were gathered in fairly easily.

What did you get done this week.
I actually got a massive chunk of coding done on a recipe site i'm working on (Linkage) (it might not resolve straight away. I only just registered it).
There's also not much data in there yet.

Design : A better programming file format
21st February 2011

I think (as jay said) the main reason for plain text is that it just works. If you start introducing things like embedded images & hyperlinks into the mix then you get every language having a single purpose editor.

There are things you can do to make it more secure, like never storing a plain text value, and if possible (especially for things like logins) concatenate a couple of fields together to make it that little bit harder to guess.

Michael Jackson.. RIP
26th June 2009

he was 50, extremely stressed and apparently suffered from an eating disorder... it's not like he was 20 and fit. He's been sick for ages.
Unortunate, sad but it's true.
I was looking forward to one more album :(

Learning Java

I've just lately become interested in the idea of learning java. But looking at the bookstore somewhat confused me (with all the options and obscure sounding names). Does anyone know any good resources (online or in book form) to get me started?
