I have a cat called (I didn't name him, my mother did) Bagpuss (after an old TV character).
He's a Maine Coon, which means he's fluffy, huge and pretty much loves attention of any kind.
They are rather expensive cats and don't show up much here in t…
It's not bad that you're still using PHP 4.x.
PHP 5 has many advantages such as better support for OOP style programming and improved execution speed, but it also suffers as not all PHP 4 code will run under PHP 5 without some rewriting and if you d…
But I already did it with Cardiff :/
Either way, I don't have much use for this kind of thing in Leeds.
When I'm on holiday in another country, I might use a cyber cafe to check my e-mail and such, but that wouldn't be very often as I rarely use e-m…
Q: Have you ever been to Cardiff?
A: No.
Q: Do you plan on going at any point in your life?
A: Probably not, it's too far from my PC which houses my coding projects and since it's not a laptop, I can't lug it around easily.
Survey complete :P

Linksys is bringing out a WiFi phone under the iPhone name if I'm not mistaken (Linksys being part of Cisco).

There's still no information on who will carry the phone over here though as Cingular don't exactly feature on our lists of…
One of the best sites I've found for this kind of thing is ALA, which covers many web design topics including CSS2, XHTML and EMCA Script (JavaScript, though EMCA Script is more correct as JS is based on the EMCA Script standard, as are Microsoft's …
I'm pretty sure that this kind of thing would be rather simple to do using AJAX methods if your data is stored in a database.
With AJAX (Active JavaScript And XML), you'd use JavaScript to send a request to a server side script (PHP, Rails, Perl or …

Yeah, but Richard Branson called his space travel thing Virgin Galactic.
Now, I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure that NASA hasn't done a manned flight out of out galaxy, so I doubt someone who can't get their trains to run on time is …
Hello again.
Changes in my time out :[ :
Theme installer built:
Themes are now easier to use as there's a sort of installer now.
You still have to upload the unpacked theme to the themes directory, but then, from the admin interface, you just type…
My MP3 player right now:
Black Sabbath
Kaiser Chiefs
The Killers
David Bowie (you dare mock me?)
Sex Pistols
White Stripes
The Velvet Underground
Evenescence
Lords of Acid
So yeah, those things, though I do like some Aerosmith as well (Dream On, fo…

They have scallywags in America too y'know... Or at least they should have some basic idea of what one is from Pirates of the Caribbean.
I have no images of myself on my computer, so you'll have to settle for this:

Or perhapse:
Yeah, but pretty much every pre-built PC you can get comes with an OEM install of Windows XP unless you go to a site which caters for users of Unix, or you go to Dell and get one of their systems that allow you to request that Windows isn't installe…
Both have a native version of Photoshop as well as apps like Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Flash.
Both have various web development tools, so it's pretty much a case of using the one you're more comfortable with.

Yes, there's 3rd party software for it, but why bother when Leopard will probably be out or near release by the time I've got enough money to buy an Intel powered iMac?
Having it built in also saves the hassle of installing it myself as alt…
I'm neither a Windows or OS X user myself.
I use Linux and we get along pretty well, despite a few kinks in software like the Beryl visual effects engine, which is still only a development release anyway (and the bug I've found in it is easily fixed…
FileGlory, if I'm not mistaken.
You see, I have the power of the all seeing eye, meaning I can see what people re doing, but can't act on it because I'm lazy.
I can tell you that right now, Python is thinking up new ninja moves despite not actually …
Please do not discuss warez \ piracy on these forums.
Also, Kazaa is free, but pretty soon, their entire network will be turned into another Napster as they finally got what they deserved and agreed to go straight.

I used to use Fireworks MX, but I've stopped using Windows and don't have a Mac, so I'm now using Xara Xtreme because it's pretty good and doesn't cost me anything.
The only things I miss are things like the inner shadow tool because although Xara h…
Yeah, you've got to te... Oh wait, I've known about that for eons (first person to post a Final Fantasy reply wins a horribly painful internal organ implosion... Eons not Aeons!).

Oh dear sweet hairy Moses...
Opera and internet Explorer aren't related in any way shape or form.
For starters, Opera is cross platform while internet Explorer is just front end for the Trident HTML rendering engine that's built into Windows…
