This week I upgraded a new client’s WordPress blog from version 2.6 to 2.9.2. All went just dandy. Then today he emailed me to say that he’d noticed his post excerpts were not appearing where they were supposed to, in single post pages. On closer inspection I noticed that the excerpts displayed fine on the [...]

What fun can you have with a Facebook fan page? No idea… yet. But I’ve set one up for myself. Please spare a moment to “become a fan“. I’ll post a detailed how-to on my blog once I’ve worked out how to do some “sexy” stuff! addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alistercameron.com%2F2010%2F04%2F17%2Ffacebook-fan-page%2F’; addthis_title = ‘What+can+you+do+with+a+Facebook+fan+page%3F%3F’; addthis_pub = ‘alicam’; [...]

So what people like me have to do is download the ZIP [...]
I’ve spent the last 10 weeks building a site for a client. Well, a web app. It’s called One Minute Business Checkup and it’s 100% my work… programming, DB schema, graphics, Javascript, the lot. I don’t like doing one-man builds like this, as a rule, but this was fun. Check it out. And if you’ve [...]

6 December 2009 – 1:43 pm This is all the more comical for the fact that it is hot, sunny and summery in Australia at Christmas time. If you don’t like the humour, blame my wife! We’re all class! And for something vaguely more traditional, again by the inimitable Cameron troupe… On a more serious note, may you find at least [...]
19 November 2009 – 10:28 pm Coming home tonight, I listened to the ABC radio host chatting with a guest who, almost as a throw-away remark, said something that hit me really hard.
