New Domains!

Filed under: Rant, Technology, Web Dev — Will Boyce on September 4th, 2007 @ 1:03

In a random spurt of domain registering I’ve just bought

  • willboyce.eu
  • willboyce.co.uk

Don’t expect anything exciting from them, they’ll just point to willboyce.com - I’m going to take over the willboyce.* internet! Starting with willboyce.name which admittedly is a shit domain name but they don’t use it for the real purposes of the .name top level domain. I think an email to abuse@nic.name is in order! Good night to you all. It is late.


New Subdomains

Filed under: Web Dev — Will Boyce on July 12th, 2007 @ 17:08

Just a quick post, I’ve just created three new willboyce.com subdomains - calendar.willboyce.com, last.fm.willboyce.com and facebook.willboyce.com. I’m hoping to be re-writing calendar.willboyce.com to be my own calendar using the gCal APIs, so watch that space ;-).

Also, while we are on the subject, the attentive of you out there will have noticed that I’ve changed gallery.willboyce.com and it now has a new, simpler theme, and only 1 album (I started it again from fresh - the really attentive among you will have noticed that I moved my gallery onto firebolt.project-cynosure.com… My server).. I’ll be adding new photos to that, as and when I can be arsed.. Including the photos of new house, new PC etc that I promised! Ttfn.

Regular readers will be aware that Greg Stanton is a bad coder, because I showed you a few days ago. Well today I found some shocking code today, and thought you’d all appreciate a laugh - make those last 30 minutes of the week go a bit faster:

define( "dbHost", IC_DB_HOST );
if (!defined("dbUser")) define("dbUser", IC_DB_USER );
if (!defined("dbPassword")) define("dbPassword", IC_DB_PASS);
define( 'Clampsdb_Name', IC_DB_DB );

One again, Greg Stanton - I salute you!


Sigh - More Bad Code

Filed under: Rant, Web Dev — Will Boyce on April 25th, 2007 @ 10:25

So, I was looking through some code today [at work] and I found this:

$sql = "SELECT cMobile,bActive FROM clampers";
$db->query($sql);
$cMessage ="GROUP TEXT: ".$cMessage;
while ($db->next_record())
{
	$cMobile =$db->f('cMobile');
	if ($db->f('bActive')==1){
		$result = sendSMS($cMobile,$cMessage);
		LogSMS($receiver,$cMobile,$cMessage,$result,$cSender);
	}
}

I mean.. What’s wrong with ‘SELECT cMobile FROM clampers WHERE bActive=1′? Sigh, I dunno what the world is coming to but Greg Stanton; you cannot code… ‘Grats!


An Interview, You Say?

That’s right! I’ve got a job interview! Nothing special, nothing to write home about, and nothing to blog about to be honest.. But what the hell. It’s only Bar Work, but it’s work, which means I can get a bloody flat! Hazah. And I can do bar work - I did it full time for 9 months!

Sent off for an application form for some Network Admin job for Lancs CC..So hopefully that’ll go well. I’ve re-applied to EDS too, hopefully I’ll get further than last time!

In other news, I’ve been working some more on www.willboyce.com, and another subdomain; whois.willboyce.com, which will serve as a online portfolio of some sort, containing my cv, samples of work I have done, employment history and relevant qualifications etc. Need to get cracking on console.willboyce.com to tie it all together……. Need to order srv2.willboyce.com! (…to be continued!)
