Downloading from Newsgroups

For a long time now I've been using Usenet to download everything I ever need from the internet so I'm going to let you know what I use and how you can get setup using it quite quickly. I do pay money for a few of the services I'm going to describe, but it isn't much and it's totally worth it.

Happy New Year, hello 2010

Happy New Year! I hope that you had a really good time over the Christmas period and that you celebrated the new year in style. I've been quite lazy with regards to my website but I've intentions of writing more regularly, whether I can stick with it is another question but I'll have to see.

The series on creating a full CakePHP application has been successful so I may do another one of those using the latest version of Cake and include some of things I've learnt along the way. I've also struggled with writing posts so if you have any ideas or you would like anything covered in a tutorial just leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Site Redesign

Welcome to the new site design i've created, i was getting a bit bored of the old one and i didn't really update it all that often. My aim with this redesign it to publish a few work related articles and other interesting stuff thats on the web.

The first bunch of articles will be about CakePHP a PHP rapid development framework that is quite simply "the business" when it comes to PHP programming. I've been using it over the past few months and although the learning curve is quite steep the results are definately worth it.

I'm also going to keep the website quite personal by showing what films, tv shows, music i'm currently interested in and this will hopefully keep the site fresh.
