  • More PHP and UFOs

    I had a bit of a UFO Enemy Unknown binge the other week after I bought the whole series on steam for £2, I played it for hours and hours. It reminded me of the old UFOpedia site I made a few years ago which replicated the interface within the game. So I decided to […]

  • Transparency Thinger

    Got bored again and as usual coded some completely random an useless piece of php. This one basically lets you input the url of any image on the net and then outputs the image on 4 different shades of background from black to that lovely chequered “transparency” image. It took a little while to perfect […]

  • Mobile sized chunks

    I’ve been using my G1 quite a bit to browse the web lately and as you know I have an extensive image gallery which I like to use in posts on forums etc. Well now I can both directly upload to that gallery by using a handy ftp program on Android and browse the gallery […]

  • Coding pointless stuff

    Yeo that’s right, there’s nothing more time consuming than coding php and html for random stuff that no-one is ever going to see. But again that’s half the point of this site, to test things out and to see what is possible. It’s also fun to learn. Using this site and my own curiosity I […]

  • A few new pages

    New hotness I was snooping through Google Webmaster tools I was intrigued by their 404 error page helper which tries to add useful links to your error pages. So I decided to set about making my own error page which was as helpful as possible, I know that it’s not the most popular or important […]

  • Remote controlled spider car climbs walls

    Stumbled across this on Youtube earlier, it’s a radio controlled car that drives up walls! First I thought it was a joke. But no, these things work by sucking air through the bottom sticking to the wall. I want one! But it’s totally only a fad, the fascination would last all of 10 minutes, if […]

  • Streaming video

    After hours of trying last night I’ve finally perfected video streaming from my server, basically this means that like on Youtube I can now put videos up and be able to seek to any point within the video without having the whole file loaded, something which I thought was not possible without custom server side […]

  • Statistics!

    Not that this website gets enough hits (or ever will) for stats to be important or even relevant, but as usual this site is acting as a testing ground, I’ve been looking for a stats program that looks nice and has everything I need and assumed I did not have access to install stuff on […]

  • Subdomains and caviar

    After all this time working with websites and domains I’ve finally done something I’ve always wanted to but never really looked into much, I’ve forwarded one of my subdomains to a different server, not a massive achievement in itself, but it makes it easier to implement other features in the future and means that I […]
