Jees last night was a fun night. We met at the Moon Under Water like usual for our meet and then the hilarity began. The night kicked off well with a free guinness voucher given to us all. We then spend the usual amount of time ranting, telling bad jokes and suchlike. We had a new guy along and I think he enjoyed it and should be back. I really do think that our LUG is different; I suspect we are the UK gobsh**es of the Linux community. 🙂

Well last night I started installing the wireless gear I bought from PC World from the recommendation of Matt Warwick in our LUG. I got home to be presented with hell getting my PCMCIA card reader working. After some work and help from other LUGites in #wolveslug I got everything working. Success is sweet even though reaching it was harder than I thought.

My plan now is to publish a short HOWTO on what I did. I wrote it last night before I went to sleep while layed in bed on the net. 😀 Cha-ching.

I am just sitting here at Uni working away at some XML / XSL / XPath gubbins for Uni. Interesting stuff but difficult to implement. Luckilly though the kind people in #xml and #php are there to help and hence my problems with this are far fewer than before. Fingers crossed I can fix it all before I head out for the wireless gear later.

Yep, I have decided to do it. I am gonna plunge into the Wireless world. This has been a plan for a while, but some time on #wolveslug chatting to Matt has convinced me.

Any idea what the main reason why I need a wireless net is? Lazyness. I want to lay in bed and go on the net. I love my bed and if I can stay in there longer with a laptop then you can’t get quicker than a quick fit fitter.

So, I am heading off to PC World tomorrow because I am impatient and want it set up ASAP. I will probably take a trip down with Craig as Sooz is working tomorrow night.

Stay tuned and you may hear me either ranting about Wireless or raving.

You know…PHP is a funny old beast. I was just creating the code to add comments such as this and I cut and paste the code from the news admin side. Virtually the same code but for some reason it would not work. I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure it out and I was racking my brains. In the end I had to run it through phpmyadmin to copy the generated SQL from there. Bizarre.

I have been cracking on building this site up and this very post is a test to ensure my new logging system works fine. Fingers crossed. 😀

Well here it is. The brand spanking new blog on my site. In this space I will rant incoherently about various things.
