My gamble has paid off. I wanted a bigger screen, a fast phone to last me some years, and modern tech to make it fun to use apps now and in a couple of years from now. The 6 was already on sale, but I was on the 5s. I could have waited for the…

Anybody with a website that uses a database to store data has to do a little bit of maintenance once a month or so. The frequency depends on how busy the site is and how much is being written/pruned from the database. I use mainly MySQL. Using phpMyAdmin this is quite easy to do. You…

As I mentioned yesterday, today is about website maintenance. Nothing much to report, so again, a short blog post.

It was lightweight, had better security features for its time, and it was cross-platform. There were even hints at mobile support and having an easier way to deal with plugins. All sorts of benefits. tl;dr In…

Okay, so I got home and had a surprise parcel in my mailbox. But I had to go. On my way back I had a mango milkshake and I thought to myself: Mail Bag Time! tl;dr It happens that I get an Amazon packages, or a gift from a friend in the mail, or someone…

“Your iPad almost is out of storage, how the hell did you do that!” or whatever the message said that came on the screen. Gulp, have I already used up the 64 gigs of space on my iPad Air 2? What’s wrong with me! tl;dr Today I share with you the ugly truth about the…
