Ok, just threw up this website today, been designing it under direction from Amon, colours, layout, style etc, basically making an organized mess of colour on the screen that holds… stuff!

So thats all done, and it’s now in their hands to administer and keep working! The joys of wordpress. Yes, it’s very purple, yes it’s meant to be, yes they requested it to be!

Vista, secksy

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

I don’t care what anyone says, if your computer is awesome, put Vista on it now! It’s so god damn sexy! After about an hour of tweaking, removing smooth scrolling, editing widgets setting up folders/file structure/drivers, everything works excellent!

Edit: Yes, I fucking have Scissor Sisters CD, get over it. And Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a good movie >_<

Thats running on my 3 monitors, centre one is a 22″ crt with two smaller screens off to the side. Yarrgh, pretty awesome OS Microsoft has come up with.

Pork hunt

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

Job hunting, probably the worst hunting game ever. Throwing yourself before people in an attempt to be liked… It’s almost like being in year 6, and you’re trying to be friends with someone because they’ve got chips in their lunchbox. Sure, they may of beat you up in the past, but they have snacks, and you don’t!

Adrenalin pumps for the first minute of the interview, you talk 87387 miles an hour, and at the end, you leave feeling like you just got laid. Had a good interview Wednesday week, still waiting to hear from them, in the meantime tho, time to read the Saturday adverts in the newspaper!

XML-RPC

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Well, figured out that I’ve done everything the hard way once again :P

I overlooked XML-RPC when making the XML data exchanges for Onevillage and its CRM and user servers. Basically reinventing the wheel. If you ever need to get content moved and executed remotely, I suggest looking into XML-RPC, and saving yourself from writing up XML master and slave functions.

Found a pretty good introductory crash course on it, all makes 100% sense. Check it!! I just can’t believe I overlooked this before. Gotta keep up to date!

I remember hearing something about XML-RPC before I started my bridges, but thought it would be a waste of time to learn it as what I had to do was quite straight forward. Server sends command over XML to slave, slave interprets it, and executes function… Which is EXACTLY what XML-RPC does, just probably more efficiently :P BEH!
