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. Finally, after something like 7/8 years I am almost fully confident in severing the ties to my highly underused Windows installation on my personal laptop, but there are still a couple of exceptions

Importance of User Agents
Posted on December 9th, 2009 No commentsWhen you write something that connects to a web server, what user agent do you use? Far too often have I seen things like: curl_setopt ( $c , CURLOPT_USERAGENT , "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)" ) ; In my opinion you should always use a nice descriptive user agent that explains to the server exactly what your client may be trying to achieve, or at least a unique identifier

Toys In Breakfast Cereals…
Posted on September 28th, 2009 No commentsI realised the other day that breakfast cereals no longer contain toys. The popular opinion seems to be either health & safety, or cutting back on costs. I’d probably go with the former as some numpty parent probably tried to sue some cereal maker for trying to bring a bit of joy into a child’s life… Anyway, I sent messages to Kellogg’s and Nestlé via their websites, and I actually got a (rubbish) response from Nestlé’s consumer relations department… Dear James We have taken the decision to move away from offering promotions that directly appeal to children.

Filling In Forms – Increasing Your Form Conversion
Posted on September 1st, 2009 No commentsThis kind of lazy form creation really annoys me. This company is trying to make users jump through hoops just so their form developers don’t have to bother reformatting the data into an acceptable format to them. It is absolutely critical when developing a form that must convert well to accept pretty much anything in the form.

Eclipse losing track of files?
Posted on April 30th, 2009 1 commentOne of the most annoying things about Eclipse is the way it manages files and will refuse to open anything which has been edited outside of the IDE, typically it will throw a ResourceException with the message showing "Resource is out of sync with the file system". This problem can be alleviated by either right clicking on the file and selecting "Refresh", or if you find it happening frequently, Go to Preferences -> Workspace and enable the "Refresh Automatically" option, do note it appears Eclipse updates on a timer, not when you open the file, so it may take a while to detect the change. (You got a better method

SSH on a PS3
Posted on April 29th, 2009 No commentsSo, not thinking about it, I tried to remotely SSH into Ubuntu on my PS3 today only to get a connection refused message. Turns out SSH isn’t installed by default on this distro (or poss with the settings I chose) so I had to use good old apt to install it: $hell> sudo apt-get install ssh It all installed fine, no config options required, and I can now connect from anywhere on the network - Woo

Fact: Playstations Kill You Early
Posted on March 19th, 2009 No commentsNothing personal against PS3 lovers, but it has been recently revealed that Playstations cause premature death… Disclaimer: Read the linked page and you’ll see it’s actually a completely different story. It could’ve been any console controller there… except for Wii’s, because clearly you won’t die fat using one of them… I actually agree with the ASA in this instance, I think the advert is suitably fitting. It doesn’t mean you’ll die playing computer games, it’s more of a generalisation that sitting on your bum all day watching TV and generally not being active could lead to obesity or health problems
