The Darling Buds of, erm, July

Thursday, July 3, 2008

Here I am blatantly contradicting myself and posting within a week of saying I won’t be for a while. Well there is one subject that I’m particularly interested in at the moment and can find the motivation to post about; my veg. Tonight I came home and realised just how much variety we’ve got that will be [...]

Just a quick note to say that I’ve been spending time on my business, family & garden and am unlikely to have the time or motivation to post here for a while.

Bealers.com v10

Today I put together the 10th iteration of Bealers.com which is a massive relief as it’s been on my to do list for 6 months+. Initially as I was going to use external help (and I had some great offers of assistance, thanks all) but in the end I simply used a pre-built theme. The Fresh [...]

When we downshifted in July 2006 - actually it turns out that it was Cathie that really downshifted, I simply started again from scratch albeit with a much healthier balance between my business and home life and with considerably less stress - one part of our due diligence was to sit down and write up [...]

I’ve been getting these since the recent 2.5 upgrade. I had other issues that I managed to fix by massaging the data structure so I’ll need to fix this too. I assume it’s because my WP install is around 4 years old and one of the upgrade scripts missed off a few schema changes. Anyway, apologies [...]

On Sunday Kurt and I went to see Jean Michel Jarre at The Albert Hall. He was for the first time ever playing Oxygene - his first album released in 1976 - live in its entirety. We had top-dollar seats that gave us a very good view of the antiques that he was going to be [...]

The Multipack describes itself as “a community of multi-talented Web professionals from across the West Midlands” and attending one of their meetings has been high on my list for over a year now. This Saturday I finally made the effort to get to Birmingham for the March meeting and it was definitely worth it. I got [...]

Are you a designer? Do you fancy making this blog look less rubbish? If so please get in touch. Siftware is already in the process of getting re-done so I figured my personal site should get updated at the same time. Ideally we’ll do a trade on services, e.g. I’ll provide some dev time to you, but [...]

Debugging with PhpED and DBG

As long-term PhpED user I’ve always been well aware that I was not making the most of some of the more powerful features of my IDE, particularly the debugging capabilities. Well this week I finally got debugging set-up properly and as per most of my other blog posts I’m listing what I did here for [...]
