Moving to Linux – Finding Alternative Software
Posted on June 10th, 2010 No commentsI’ve been using Linux on servers for years, since before I started learning to code.

Microsoft Browser Choice Update
Posted on February 24th, 2010 No commentsSo the “Microsoft Browser Choice Screen Update For EEA Users” has arrived in my list of potential updates. Interestingly though, Microsoft have not selected this update by default. That might put a dampener on Opera’s big day…

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.

Why You Shouldn’t Use Your Phone Whilst Driving
Posted on September 10th, 2009 No commentsCame across this video (via The Register), and being a father of a 5 month old beautiful daughter, this video really hit home for me. Seeing the lifeless infant after the accident, the motionless stare, was just horrible to watch. Warning : This video is not suitable for minors! This video is just a dramatisation, but is a realistic representation of what could happen if you use a mobile phone whilst driving
