Thoughts on the prime ministerial debate
Posted on April 29th, 2010 No commentsI’m sad to say it, but I found Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash more interesting than the ‘political-point-scoring’ being broadcast on the BBC. I’m glad that Steve has spoken out and answered his critics so well, but I wish David and Gordon would follow Apple’s lead and get on with ‘leaving the past behind’. Political Branding I got a leaflet about Mark Hoban through the post this evening

Strangers in the same boat – Christmas 2009
Posted on December 23rd, 2009 No commentsThis used to be the ‘hello world’ post. It’s taken from July to now – that’s 5 months – to pick a theme for my blog and then get around to editing it. I’m quite inclined to say that that’s pretty rubbish, but I won’t, because that’s the usual response I have to these kind of things.

Semantic Markup – What should h1 Be?

Dixons – UR DOIN IT WRONG
Posted on November 24th, 2009 No commentsToday when ordering a webcam for my parents, the Dixons website really got my back up. Firstly the page died and never gave me a reference number. Secondly, and most annoyingly , I went to view my account, and every page I attempted to load I was presented with the screen shown

Rant: Clickable Text and Checkboxes / Radios
Posted on August 27th, 2009 No commentsArgh, it really annoys me when web designers have check boxes or radio buttons that do not have clickable text attached.

Lookin’ Good: Two Practise ZCE Tests Passed
Posted on August 25th, 2009 No commentsAs some of you may know, back in March/April time, I started revising for my Zend PHP5 Certification, but that was pretty much put on hold when we had a baby… now I’m revising again and after having revised a couple of topics I retook the test. As you can see, I passed it “with flying colours” this time, but still have improvement to do with Streams and Design patterns… Comparing with my last test: 2 categories remained the same; Database access Web features) 4 categories improved; PHP 4/5 Differences (was FAIL) Security (was PASS) String Manipulation and Regular Expressions (was PASS) Functions (was PASS) 2 categories declined; Streams and Network Programming (was PASS) Design (was EXCELLENT) [eep - not so good that!] I think overall however, these statistics shouldn’t be examined too much – there are some questions I can guess and don’t demonstrate that I truly *know* some topics, so I’m going to cover off a few categories I don’t feel to confident on anyway – but then the practise tests are just indicators, and not meant to represent the final exam… we’ll see!
