For a change of scene I’ve been working on a set of Last.FM widgets which will allow you to dispaly Last.FM widgets in the sidebars on the blogs… and you should be able to see one there right now. It was only during testing this that I found that my blog (i.e. this one) no […]
I’ve coded up a couple of mods for phpbb and The total down loads of these two mods is not huge but its not zero. There was a bug in the Registration Variable MOD that no-one noticed.. or if they did notice they didn’t think to tell me. If I download a MOD, especially a […]
