Just a very quick post. Most of us use the operators && (AND) and || (OR) but 1 that I always forget is XOR. I have knocked up a quick image showing the results when comparing the lofical operators in PHP.
Logical Operators in PHP
As you can see XOR returns true if only 1 of A or B is true. This is not as commonly used as && or || but still usefull.
Some of you may remember that last year there was a campaign on Facebook to get Rage Against The Machine as the Christmas number 1. That campaign became a great success and thwarted last year’s X-Factor hijacking the charts as they usually do.
Well this year there is another campaign. This year’s campaign is to try and get Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit to the number 1 spot. This year the Christmas charts are actually on Christmas day so any copies of this song bought from now until 23:59 on December the 24th will count towards the campaign
I have bought my copy already. Have you?

Several months ago Apple announced the iTunes Match service which allows users to have their non-iTunes purchases associated with their account and for them to have the ability to download high quality versions of the songs (256 kbps with no DRM).
The service sounded great but 1 dissapointment I had was that the service was not available in the UK. Continue reading
Anyone who is familiar with programming books have probably come across Packt Publishing even if they have not bought any of their books.
As well as allowing people to buy books and e-books from their website they also provide another intriguing service. This service is called PacktLib. PacktLib enables you to purchase a monthly subscription to their complete library
The subscription (which is currently £15 a month) allows you to read any book that Packt have ever published (new or old). This month I decided that I would take the plunge and purchase a subscription to the service to see how it is. Continue reading
A couple of years ago I used to be a mod and staff member on 1 of the bigger domaining forums. Namely Namepros. Being a member of staff over there I got to know about things as they happened.
Back on the 28th of February in 2009 I started to become aware of the theft and attempted sale of some domain names. 1 of these domain names was very good indeed. That domain was rpg.org. By the time the theft came to light it was too late for the rightful owner to do anything about it as the domain had been transferred from GoDaddy to eNom. Continue reading
I am currently looking to raise some cash and have just posted some quality domain names. I am open to offers. Feel free to comment or to post on Namepros or DNForum.
The domains for sale are:

Domain: LinuxDaemon.com
Creation: 10 May 2008
Expiry: 10 May 2012

I thought of creating a site with information on the common linux daemons. There are some sites that do this already but not have such an apt domain. You could also of course have tutorials detailing how to create a linux daemon.

Expiry: 25 Jan 2013

This domain has many possibilities. Obscure or rare LP’s, or maybe showing some of the oddest world records that have been achieved.

A perfect domain for articles or tutorials for showing how to secure PHP or possibly to code with security in mind (something that is often forgotten).
I recently decided to purchase an app from the iPhone app store. I do not do this often but I believe that this app would be extremely useful.
The app I decided to download was SSH Term Pro. As the name suggests this is a SSH terminal app for the iPhone and iPad. Of course this makes it extremely easy to manage your server on the move. The application allows you to add unlimited amount of servers details so you can quickly and easily connect up to a server that you manage. The application also allows you to lock it down so that you can only access the application fully once you have entered a password that you had set up.
Unfortunately on investigation everything is not as good as I had hoped: Continue reading
Recently Apple released the iPhone 4s with IOS5. One of the more exciting features that came from this is the Siri feature. Siri enables you to give your phone voice commands to carry out certain tasks and is very intelligent in that it understand context etc.
Unfortunately however it appears that Apple have opened up some security implications with this feature. Continue reading
