Announcing My New Website
Posted on February 8th, 2010 No commentsIt’s been live for a couple of weeks now, although I haven’t done much promotion of it, so here is word of an “official” announcement of my new portfolio site. Please take a look around and if you have any constructive criticism, feedback or advice, feel free to let me know through the usual channels… So without further ado, I pronounce www.jamestitcumb.com officially open!

New House & Growing Freyja
Posted on January 31st, 2010 No commentsI haven’t done a “personal” update for some time now, so I thought I’d briefly brush over our recent lives. The photo you can see on the left is the current state of our new house that is being built in the new Dickens Quarter development in Portsmouth

Buy a Lexus – Blind Your Fellow Road Users
Posted on January 14th, 2010 No commentsEveryone who knows me will know that I am marginally prejudiced against people with expensive cars (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc.), but not entirely without cause. One of my niggles (pet hates if you will) about them is their unnecessarily dazzling headlights.

Job Requirements
Posted on November 25th, 2009 No commentsThis won’t have been the first time I’ve written about degrees … But I recently noticed a job posting for a server-side developer at Headscape , and in just the third sentence it already got my back up: We are looking for a graduate who is passionate about the web This sort of thing in job postings really annoy me. The notion that a degree makes a person better than someone with 3+ years of experience to me is a very narrow-minded way of thinking

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

Importing CSV into MySQL table
Posted on October 6th, 2009 No commentsA quick tip – you can import a CSV into a MySQL table pretty easily. The file must exist on the server and you must create the table first, but this command will import your CSV into a MySQL table easily: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/data.csv' INTO TABLE `data _ table` FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY ' n ' ;

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!
