#bigSWIG — megadrive.me — Liverpool 24.01.12 Me, Professional, Software, Video Games, web | (0)
My friend Rob has been kickstarting the Liverpool geek talk sceene, with the guys at his place of work, organising and hosting SWIG. It's grown from a small meeting discussing WordPress at InterconnectIT's office, to taking the upstairs at Leaf Tea Shop in Bold Street.Rob had been on at me for a while to do something at a SWIG event, and upping the ante, he said they were doing a bigSWIG, and would I like to talk about one of my projects, MegaDrive.me. I'd asked Rob a hundred questions about WordPress – which MegaDrive.me is built in – so I did feel ...

New project: MegaDrive.me Me, Video Games, web | (0)
Most of you know I'm a gaming nut. Most of you know I collect Japanese Mega Drive games.I was browsing through the ace pcengine.co.uk site, watching videos, reading reviews, planning on buying a few more shmups, when I thought "why don't we have something like this?". The "we" being Mega Drive gamers.Obviously, there are a lot of sites out there that details release dates, genres, covers etc. like the great SegaRetro.org, but there was something… complete about the PCE site. It had factual information, it had visual information, it had opinion. You could relate to the authors and what they were ...

Up in the cloud Software, web | (1)
My last WordPress update to 3.2 couldn't happen on one of our older shared servers, as it was running earlier versions of PHP and MySQL. I forget which was the culprit, but it meant I wasn't getting the new lovely interface and other enhancements. I also run about 7–8 personal projects and friends sites off our company servers, which while they're not big hitters or bandwidth guzzlers, I have been known to take the server offline while "trying something out".Therefore I decided to look at finally getting my very own hosting. Can you believe it? 15 years of making websites ...

standards>next — CSS3 Conferences, CSS, Graphics, HTML5, web | (1)
Last night, I spoke at the latest Opera back standards>next gig, hosted at MadLab in Manchester.Chris Mills put the call out months ago, asking if I'd like to take part, and could I herd up anyone else to speak. I recommended my fellow skating (albeit inline-blader!) and Fudge front-ender Mike Byrne as he's a lively character, and certainly knows his shit, and that made four. Chris kicked off, followed, by myself and Typography Online. Continue Reading...

New Adventures in Web Design Conferences, CSS, HTML5, Professional, web | (5)
This week Howie and I attended a new conference in Nottingham, New Adventures in Web Design, organised by Simon Collison, or Colly as he's better known.Since Colly is possible the nicest guy on the internet and well respected, finding quality speakers wasn't going to be a tough job, and for the conferences first show, the list was impressive. There were gripes from some quarters that all these speakers have been seen before, it's the usual industry pundits, but I think that's just sour grapes and being picky for the sake of it. Out of the ten speakers, I'd only seen ...

Note to future me… Software, web | (1)
My mate Phil sent me a link to this forum thread, which inspired this post…My SysErr WP install had been stuck on 2.8.5 for a while, due to a bunch of full dbs and laziness, so finally moved things across and sorted it out. Bringing it kicking and screaming to the WP 3.0.x era wasn't easy, as I had the Automatic Upgrade problem where an upgrade file starts downloading, but the update screen stalls, giving no further information, and the file stays at 0 bytes.
