A Simple News System For Basic Websites
Posted on March 10th, 2010 No commentsThis is a very simple news system with comment support which is ideal for adding simple blog/news system functionality to any website needing that kind of system. In the past I'd usually use wordpress as a pre-built solution for adding this kind of content to a site and although you get a lot of extra benefits by using wordpress (as a result of its plugin system) there can be a lot of issues with tweaking the wordpress theme to suite the site. The method of embedding this system is so simple that it can be used easily within any site template and as such it's perfect for quickly adding blogging or news system style functionality to previously static sites or E-Commerce systems where an attempt at tying in wordpress could be very messy in reference to: About The Demo » Phpns » Open Source PHP News System ( view on Google Sidewiki )

Question: How does source control work in a non-distributed environment?
Posted on February 5th, 2010 No commentsAt our company we currently all work on one shared network drive. The source code is not under any kind of source control, which for me is a big no-no. I’d love to be able to set up SVN and us all work of separate repositories and just commit back to a trunk or branch, but our tech manager doesn’t agree.

Handling CType Data With SimpleXML in PHP
Posted on January 15th, 2010 No commentsIf you're new to SimpleXML then the output and representation of complex XML data produced by the library can be daunting and sometimes confusing, but once you're used to it, SimpleXML is a massively useful tool for processing XML information. When debugging other people's implementations of simpleXML however, one of the biggest issues I come across time and again is the apparent loss of CType data from the processed feed. Luckily this is very easily remedied, but not well documented so here's how to deal with it.

Windows 7 + iPhone Bluetooth
Posted on August 22nd, 2009 No commentsWell we finally received access to the Windows 7 Pro RTM, personally I've been running an RC for several month and think its the most polished version of Windows yet, but many people will find it difficult to adjust to. I've ran into a few issue with getting its Bluetooth support working with my iPhone, it appeared with the yellow triangle exclamation icon, not sure why, but this can be fixed by right clicking the phone icon, going to properties -> services and unticking the Wireless iAP option, click ok, right-click on the phone icon and select Connect using -> Access point.

My Gumtree Ads
Posted on August 19th, 2009 No commentsMy gumtree ads ( mygumtreeads.com ) is a new project of mine, filling in what I see as one of the major gaps in Gumtree's current service. The gap that I and I'm sure many other people have experienced is the inability to setup a user page containing all of your ads for easy reference, a bit like an eBay store.
