Balmer users Apple Mac at Louvain-La-Neuve?

There seems to be a lot of fuss about this picture. There have been a lot of Diggs on it and a lot of comments about how Windows sucks and Macs rules on Flickr.

Are people too deluded to see anything other than what they want to see to give them a 5 second laugh and [...]

iPhone Sim Unlocker Software

Sunday, 04. 27. 2008  –  Category: Other

I personally don’t have an iPhone but I saw a sim unlocker for download which people said was a trojan.  And I haven’t seen NOD32 warn me about any viruses, so I thought it was about time I downloaded a virus.

Glad to see it works.
Be wary of iPhone Sim Unlocking software.  You may get infected [...]

Carlack Wheel Cleaner + Meguiars NXT All Metal Polish

Thursday, 04. 24. 2008  –  Category: Cars

At the weekend I had a go at cleaning my brothers Vauxhall Astra’s alloys.
This is what I was greeted with. A rather dirty alloy although not as dirty as a lot of the wheels you see on others cars.

The finish is a polished metal which are slightly kerbed but not too badly.

Paris Hilton hits a new high

Thursday, 04. 24. 2008  –  Category: Other

Paris Hilton’s latest film ‘The Hottie and the Nottie’ has become #1 on IMDB.  But no for the best film.
With a rating of 1.2 from over 10,000 votes, the film has hit #1 spot for worst film on IMDB.

Zend: addDisplayGroup() - Setting the legend

Thursday, 04. 24. 2008  –  Category: Development

Original Code:
$nok = $this->addDisplayGroup(array(’nok_forename’,’nok_surname’,’nok_day’,’nok_month’,’nok_year’,
‘nok_address1′,’nok_address2′,’nok_town’,’nok_county’,’nok_postcode’,’nok_country’),
‘nextofkin’);
I then set about trying to get a legend on the fieldset that was created. My first thought was:
$nok->setLegend(’Next of Kin’);
But on second thoughts that would never work. I then remembered that the third variable is normally options passed in an array. So…
$nok = $this->addDisplayGroup(array(’nok_forename’,’nok_surname’,’nok_day’,’nok_month’,’nok_year’,
‘nok_address1′,’nok_address2′,’nok_town’,’nok_county’,’nok_postcode’,’nok_country’),
‘nextofkin’,array(’legend’=>’Next of Kin’));
This works. :)

Started to learn Zend

Thursday, 04. 17. 2008  –  Category: Other

I have a couple of projects to do which involve fairly dissimilar functions but I thought it would be a good idea to use a framework rather than rely on my rather poor code. I have always been able to get my code to work but I am sure it was always open to [...]
