gTranslate through TLDs: Subfolder magic with mod_rewrite
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m pretty shit with DevOps. However, I’ve finally bitten the bullet and started learning. I did my first bit of Ansible last week, and this week I’ve approached an interesting problem. I’m fairly new to this stuff but I’m hoping the few hours I spent coming up with this…
I’m Zend Certified!
It may not be much, but it means a lot to me, being my first ever qualification in the industry (despite having been in the industry now for over ten years!) God, I’m getting old. I feel I wasted a lot of that time in dead end jobs, never really progressing much and being a…
RSS to Posts WordPress Plugin
I recently figured I should probably get my website set back up after it being down for around about a year. In doing so, I wanted to find a way to keep new posts flowing without me actually needing to do anything, so I wound up making a plugin. It was kind of interesting getting…
Master league – I finally made it!
This is literally three years in the making. I started playing StarCraft online in August 2012, right at the bottom of bronze league. It took me around 18 months to finally get into diamond league, and since then it’s been a slow climb to masters. I’ve taken a few breaks along the way, but I’ve…
So, I went viral again.
A couple of months ago, I made a post on reddit that went viral because someone kept sending me cake. This time, it’s just because I couldn’t find a normal envelope. See, I’m a web developer, so I don’t use this archaic thing known as “post” very often. But I got a speeding ticket, and…
Crazy works
Facebook comments on a website are more hassle than they’re worth
I recently switched my domain from danny.gb.net to danny.gg – all was well and good, until I realised my comments were missing. After some extensive Google-fu, I couldn’t find any proper solutions on migrating a domain and keeping all comments intact. So I had to hack the Facebook plugin a little. I’ve always used this…
Legacy of the Void – Second opinion
I was really hyped to get into the Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void (LotV) beta. I happened to be pulling an all nighter when it first went live and I was closing and reopening my Battle.net client like a mad man until I finally got in. But… that was about it. I played a…
Add a Twitch banner to your site
Not only have I recently come back to the whole blogging thing, I also want to start streaming myself playing Starcraft on Twitch. Well, I’m a master of procrastination so instead of actually streaming, I decided to make a small WordPress plugin which adds a banner to the bottom of your website to let your…
New domain and a fresh new look!
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve said I’m going to get back into this whole blogging thingy. But I guess this is me saying it again! Thanks to a cock-up at 123-reg (whose support is terrible), my old domain (danny.gb.net) expired so I’m going to have to try and buy it again…
