Keithblog

Es gibt etwas sehr merkwürdiges Geschehen an blogger.com. Aus irgendeinem Grund, wann immer ich Sachen bekanntgebe oder Einstellungen kleine Spitzen des deutschen Sneak in die Seiten ändere! Jedermann, das sonst irgendwelche stören läßt?*
There is something very strange happening at blogger.com. For some reason whenever I post things or change settings little bits of German sneak [...]

Just as a follow up to the last post.
I hate getting used to new operating systems. They move the important bits about just to annoy people. Whatever happened to My Documents? Was removing the two extra characters (three if you include the space) some sort of cost cutting measure?

This is what Keithblog looks like on an open source operating system. My Acer laptop and I had a slight falling out when Windows decided not to load, so this is the result. It’s a substantially sped up laptop with just about everything you could possibly want. Well except iTunes, Macromedia stuff and FrontPage, but [...]

Some useful snippits of PHP code.
Include - Include a external document within the PHP file.
<?php include ‘filename.type’ ?>
Variables - Set and recall a variable.
<?php
$varname = “Variable contents”;

?>
If statement - checking for a null property.
<?php
if ($pagetitle == NULL)
{ echo “Generic Title”;
}else{ echo $pagetitle; }
?>
Date\Time - codes.
<?php echo date(’F j, Y’); ?>

And if I was a file type it would be .html.

Last but not least, If I was an operating system I’d be something called HP-UX?

Registering to vote is about to become much, much easier for Northern Ireland’s millions of native Ulster-Scots (that’s Ulstèr-Scotch) speakers with the new simplified Electoral Registration Form.Don’t worry the money wasn’t completely wasted the forms were also translated into more useful languages. In total there are 9 versions. These include Cantonese, English, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian, [...]

Some calming pictures for your Sunday evening. These were taken during my recent trip to Finland. Partaharju and Lake Salvonen (see here) to be exact. We were staying at the headquarters of PTK the Finnish equivalent to the BB/GB. The Finnish countryside - and there’s lots of it - is a lot like Ireland. The [...]

If you’re ever on the BBC Northern Ireland News website something always worth a gander is Northern Ireland’s Big picture just after the main headlines…
This week it features the The Right Honourable The Lord Mayor of Belfast Jim Rodgers leap frogging(sp?) over someone dressed as a giant tomato, or maybe a strawberry. It was all [...]
