I recently started an Open university course. It has been a long time since I studied and I really need to buckle down and learn how to do it again.
While browsing the OU forums recently I came across a post from people who could not get their head around binary and Hex. The following is the explanation I provided, it seems to have helped some so maybe it will help the wider community as well

———————-ADDED 09 MAY———————-
Unfortunately I have had no choice but to scrap the idea. Only 2 people have expressed any interest in this idea. This was very disappointing to be honest.

Hey all.
As many of you know I am a team leader over at Namepros. Well recently Namepros has updated to the latest version of vBulletin.
As part of this upgrade are social groups. Most people decided to spam these and create silly groups (like all new features people like to play with them). Well the groups got me thinking.
Like many people I am good at 1 certain aspect of developing sites (PHP) but am not so good at design for example. This is usually the problem people have. Well I came up with an idea! (more…)

Title High Performance Web Sites
Author Steve Sounders
ISBN-10 0-596-52930-9 (ISBN-13 978-0-596-52930-7)
Pages 146 (including index)
High Performance Web Sites by Steve Saunders is an attempt at teaching people how to best go about optimizing their web sites. No I do not mean optimizing for search engines, I mean optimizing for the best user experience (and believe me it is a relief to have a book aimed at giving the user a better experience rather than the search engines).

On my travels I come across many people who are blissfully unaware of register globals and if they are aware of it, they misunderstand what it does.
Some people seem to believe that using the $_POST, $_GET… global arrays that they have protected themselves from the effects of register globals.
They couldn’t be further from the truth. (more…)

**——-UPDATE——-**
The Wordpress plugin has now got a new home. The Wordpress who’s online plugin can now be found HERE.
**———————-**
I have just started making some wordpress plugins. My first attempt was a quiz script which seems to work fairly well however is not released as of yet.
My second plugin which I have just released in a beta state (and have applied for inclusion on the Wordpress site) is a cool plugin that will show you how many people are on your blog. It displays a handy link on the top right of your admin pages as well as having an added page within the Users section of the admin panel which shows who is online as well as what they are looking at. If you think this is an interesting plugin take a look at the Who’s Online Plugin page for more information. (more…)

For those of you that have tried to visit us in the last few days we unfortunately experienced a problem with the server.
At 00:30 or so Friday morning we found the server behaving erratically and finally becoming unreachable. Even a reboot would not fix it.
It turned out we had a rootkit on the server. We have now subsequently reformatted the server and are securing it to try to ensure it never happens again.
Here’s hoping for a smooth ride for a while.
