Not a lot of people know this but i subscribe to net magazine, it's a techno mag for web people... I especially love this article by Gary Marshall, It appeared in the April 2008 Magazine, here are the bestest bits -
I think I’ve found the flaw in social networking. It’s not the constant parade of nonsense – "You’ve been bitten by a leprechaun! Install the Leprechaun application so we can empty your bank account and defraud your friends!". It’s the fatal combination of lying and avoidance. - Lying is most apparent in status updates. When it says, "Gary is working like a demon", Gary is actually scouring BitTorrent for the latest Girls Aloud video. When it says, "Gary is interviewing", Gary is clearing up the aftermath of an Exorcist-style outbreak of baby vomiting. And when it says, "Gary is really making progress", Gary is banging his head on the desk and shouting, "Why, God? Why?", If we told the truth we’d only need two options, "dicking about on the internet" and "drunk as a lord". Unless of course you’re on MySpace, in which case you’d also need "sucking up to Lily Allen" and "planning a massacre".

Good luck to the Pirate Bay Boys - Added on Mon 16 Feb 2009 23:28
The founders of the website Priate Bay, which carries links to copies of music, films and TV programmes have gone on trial in Sweden on charges of copyright theft. Just want to say Good luck to them, the internet is about freedom... if the Big Music/Film and TV companies where smart enough like 6-7 years ago they wouldn't be in the mess and now, they're placing content online, they want to bitch and moan... get with the program... just my two cents... keep the change

php extensions and mySQL + phpMyAdmin - Added on Wed 11 Feb 2009 17:26
Ok, Not the first time I've come across this interesting error.. Setting up a Web server at work this afternoon and it appears that every time a new version of mySQL comes along and I try and use it, they (the powers that be) haven't updated the php extension to it and I get the following sort of error appear in phpMyAdmin:
"Your PHP MySQL library version x.x.xx differs from your MySQL server version x.x.xx. This may cause unpredictable behaviour."
I have found two possible solutions:
Hope this helps at least one person! Have fun!

New Site Design - Clean n Easy! - Added on Sat 07 Feb 2009 19:46
Hi, Welcome to the new site, I have decided to make it all simple, guess i get annoyed with the fact that the site went no where after December 2007 as i could be arsed with it, to be honest the backend to update the old website wasn't brilliant, involved way to many HTML tags...
Anyways looking back on 2008 tho, it was an awesome year! I played a major factor in Depolying an ADAM solution for Britvic, have got my MCAD started and hope to finish it this year.
I do plan to update this more, with both updates about me and links to technological stuff i find.

"Your PHP MySQL library version x.x.xx differs from your MySQL server version x.x.xx. This may cause unpredictable behaviour."
I have found two possible solutions:
- Uninstall new mySQL and PHP, Install older versions! Always Fun!
- Do some 'editing' and comment out the message in phpMyAdmin, it's only a unpredictable
behaviour that will screw up your system if you do really complex querries...
In the file: phpMyAdmin/main.php
Comment out from:
if (function_exists('PMA_DBI_get_client _info')) {
To
unset($_client_info);
#
}
This code is usually found around lines 290 to 315 in phpmyadmin 2.x.x and around lines 394 - 400 in 3.x.x
Hope this helps at least one person! Have fun!
