For all those heretics who used to have a Commodore C64 instead of the mighty ZX Spectrum, here is something which may bring back some memories – someone has written a theme to make his blog look like the command line interface from the C64. Having never had a C64 myself I can’t say how […]

A new address
April 4th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Technology
This blog has a new address (skuds.org) but there should not be any need for anyone to go altering bookmarks, blogrolls and address books because the old address should re-direct to here anyway. Having said that… I am transferring the registration of the old domain during this week and it is always possible that at […]
Back to basics
March 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Technology
Yet again some piece of rogue code has been causing WordPress to misbehave badly enough to practically cripple the server. I don’t know any more details than that really, just that I need to fix it. So I have stripped WordPress of everything that I can. The core software is the latest version – only […]
New Theme
March 19th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Technology
I’m trying out a new theme, which does a lot of what I want, and seems to work OK in Firefox and Internet Explorer even after a bit of hacking about. Testing has been less than exhaustive though, so I would welcome any comments pointing out if anything is not working properly. I think its […]

Spam Spam Spam
March 17th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Technology
In the 24 hours I have had WordPress running again I have had 1200 spam comments trapped by Akismet and Spam Karma. With that sort of volume of spamming I have had to make the spam filters quite strict so there is a little more chance of getting false positives, and less chance of me […]
Back again!
March 17th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Technology
Well everything is back up and running again. I guess I could have had it all up sooner if this was higher in my priorities. One thing I won’t do is apologise for not posting anything at all this week, or for the site being down. That always seems a bit self-important to me. (What […]
Specific cry for help

Are there any WordPress/php gurus out there who can suggest a way to get this bit of code working under WP 2.1.2? <?php $link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”); foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) { if (get_links($link_cat->cat_id, ”, ”, ”, FALSE, ”, FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE, FALSE)) { ?> <div class=”left-widget-title” id=”linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>”> […]
Why I was offline
March 10th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Technology
The upgrade was not the cause of being offline – it was the solution. The hosting deal I have for this site assumes a fairly low level of activity – thats why it is so cheap. As such it is fine for me because I don’t get a huge number of visitors and, not being […]
WordPress 2.1
March 10th, 2007 · 5 Comments · Technology
I have upgraded to WordPress 2.1.2 Its a bit strange… looks the same in many ways but some of the subtle differences are quite significant. For a start the database has been restructured a bit with tables having different names. That should not be a problem, but the template I am using has some little […]
Welcome back Bloggers4Labour!
February 19th, 2007 · Comments Off on Welcome back Bloggers4Labour! · Technology
Earlier today I noticed that posts from this site were not appearing on the aggregated feed on the Bloggers4Labour site. I really had no idea how long this had been happening – or not happening depending on your point of view. Andrew R didn’t know for sure either, but said he was getting a 403 […]
