25 Jan No more posting? Posted by: in News with no comments   Are you still posting tutorials? You haven't posted any in a while, have you given up? No we haven't given up, read more to find out why there is a lack of posts.  

You’ve probably noticed we haven’t posted anything in a few days, this isn’t due to lack of interest, this is due to I am currently moving out and have not had time to write anything up, I’ve been in and out of housing agents, looking for jobs and more! So i’m sure if you’ve ever moved, you’d know how much time it takes off your hands.

On the plus side, I have a viewing for the place I might be moving to on Monday, and if all goes well will be moved by the end of Feb sometime, I will try and get some tutorials up in that meantime, but I am apologizing now for the lack of them, but, once we’ve moved, I will aim to get at least one a day!

Thank you for your continued support.

21 Jan We did it! – STOP SOPA! Posted by: in News, Other with no comments   The world has managed to get the bill shelved by Congress, our strike made them realize that an internet without free speech is dangerous and very unpopular.  

With millions protesting and thousands of blacked out websites, we defeated SOPA, Congress have withdrew the bill for the new legislation which would potentially damage the internet. This came just hours after US Officials took down the largest file storage site in the world, Megaupload. In retaliation to this, a group who are named Hackers Anonymous took down a few FBI-ran websites, this was called ‘The biggest hack from this group’.

20 Jan Basic: Forms Posted by: in PHP with no comments   We're going to look at how forms work in PHP, nothing too hard, just simple POST data which will echo what what the user had put it.

19 Jan Thank You! Posted by: in News, Other with no comments   Thank you for helping us in the fight against PIPA/SOPA, we achieved an amazing result yesterday for a site that only started one week ago.  

I would like to say thank you to everyone that visited our website today and clicked links to external sites where you could find more information on how to stop SOPA/PIPA from being passed.

The fight it not over, on January 24th, Congress will vote to pass the internet censorship in Senate, even though the vast majority of people are against it. I don’t live in the US, I live in the UK, but as my blog attracts visitors from around the world, I thought it was necessary to do my bit and help stop by ‘going on strike’.
