I’ve just written a very nifty C# application, and for reasons of secrecy, I can’t tell anyone what it is or how it works! This is frustrating because I think it’s awesome. Hopefully just posting this entry about [redacted] will get the excitement off my chest and then I can continue doing my tax filing.
There’s been a major attack on all WordPress (and Joomla) websites worldwide. When I last read about it, over 150 000 IP addresses were involved in the botnet. My (fantastic) service provider, Site5, with whom I host all of my customers’ sites as well as my own, mitigated the attack through the course of aContinue reading Two-Factor Authentication for WordPress
“To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world.

I’d specced it out already (without knowing the cunning plan to buy it for me), so it had a 256GB solid state drive and aContinue reading I will never buy ASUS products again
Many years ago, when I was still young and impressionable, I first read about the so-called “end of the world” Mayan Calendar thing. Depending on the source, the end was either on the 21st or 23rd of December 2012. My 36th birthday is on the 22nd of December 2012. A week from now. I don’tContinue reading The Mayans
