Damn you, Professional WordPress Plugin Development
So, I’m finally beginning to get somewhere with version 2 of my YouTube Embed WordPress plugin. As a birthday treat to myself I bought Professional WordPress Plugin Development from Amazon. Now, completion of my plugin is even less likely to be soon as this rather excellent book has just left me with a raft of further changes to make. [...]
PS3 on its way!
Yep, I’m late to the party but I’ve finally bought a PS3. It was my birthday at the weekend and I requested money or Amazon vouchers – these were then put towards the PS3 purchase. That was ordered Saturday night and should be arriving today or tomorrow. I’ve already made a space on the shelf [...]
Hosting Sites Reviews
Hosting Sites Reviews is a new site – it appears to have only been around for a matter of weeks – dedicated to, yes you guessed it, reviewing UK web hosting companies.

How to make Windows 7 look a little more like Windows 8
Early preview versions of Windows 8 have been available to select people and, as per usual, details have leaked out – mainly a few screenshots and details of some of the added functionality. And that means some people have already been busy creating ways of getting that functionality on existing Windows 7 builds. First up, [...]
Future WordPress Plugin Support
I’ve been offering free, and usually quite quick, support for my WordPress plugins since introducing them. At first people used the comments at the bottom of the plugin pages but it’s not the best method to use so at the beginning of the year I closed these and added a forum to the site. Unfortunately, lots of users [...]

BT Infinity… but sadly not for me. Yet.
So, I’ve been waiting (impartiently) for my town to receive BT Infinity. This weekend I visited my sister-in-law’s only to find she’d had it for weeks and it was a free upgrade. I did an online Broadband speed test and fount her download speed was around 32 Mbps and upload speed was about 6 Mbps. [...]
