Unreliable information since 1972
This looks like it might be worth keeping up with: lesscode.org, a multi person blog about, basically, producing applications that actaully get something done, rather than getting lost in ciomplexity. I particularly like this article, outlining the benefits of in-house code and the management process by which is doesn’t happen. I, of course, have never worked anywhere like that. No.
Never.

I’ve been after a web based calendar tool that I’d be able to sync with my PDA for a while now. I think I might have found it.

Have lost mobile phone somewhere between office and home. Will get a new one early next week. Until then, only reachable by email. Arse.
I really must get around to learning Ruby. I mean, I got it all installed, and everything, but I seem to have stalled past that.
So maybe a step-by-step guide is what I need.

An article in defense of PHP’s security track record, mostly as reminder to learn a bit more about PHP’s treat_data and PHP5’s input_filter tools.
An article on PHP and iCal/vCal events – I can’t seem to find anything that’ll let me hook my PDA caledar up to a web-based one, so I may have to roll my own.

An LJ/Wordpress sync tool: Livepress. Something to build into the black-ink revamp?
Tag plugin – something to put in on every install, I think…

I am a very, very fortunate man indeed.
Andrew presented me with a card this evening. The card contained a list of names and a cheque, and an instruction to “go out there and buy a new camera”.
Circumstances had dictated that I be told that my friends were having a whipround “behind my back” as it were, but never, in my wildest dreams did I think that so many people would chip in, or that you’d all raise such a staggering amount. You’ve raised more than enough to buy me a new camera and to say that I am both touched and grateful is an understatement of some magnitude, but if I attempted to convey the depth of my gratitutde here, we’d all be horribly embarrassed.
So, the plan is this: In the next few days, I am going to go out and buy a new camera, and very importantly, some iron-clad insurance. If anyone so much as looks at the camera funny, I’m going to be claiming dammit!
And because a number people responded to my own plea for aid (which was taken down when I was told so as not to cause embarassment, but not before a number people responded to it), come payday, I am going to match what they donated via paypal and by purchasing prints, and donate the resulting amount (around the 250 pound mark – more details when I can get the money out of paypal and photobox, minus their processing fees) to cancer reseach.
I’ll say again: I am hugely touched, and unbelievably grateful to all of you who’ve helped me out.
One question, one honest answer, comments screened.
But until I do: I very much like the idea of this here linknotes plugin for longer articles.
