Good evening! This is a blog generated by the the excellent b2, heavily modified by me to use Smarty, and with scripts to make it easy to create new blogs. I’ll hopefully be able to release code sometime next week when I track down any errant bugs.

:: phpPatterns() – Guidelines for Designing Classes in PHP – on my reading list for later, but it’s a pity the author uses such a wide graphic in the article as it means I have to scroll horizontally.. grrr.

Cork LUG – SSH with keys. Short but good introduction to ssh and pass phrases.

Linux Today – GNOME Foundation: GU4DEC – June 16th-18th Dublin, Ireland

scriptygoddess – Disable right clicking and protecting your images with php. Good info here, and a couple of techniques I hadn’t thought of too!

As usual, bottomquark has some excellent articles today. I won’t link to specific articles or I’d be linking to everything there!

Blogger was down yesterday so no posting.
John posted a story about a friend of his who had a heart attack. Thankfully he’s recovering, but what shocked me was..

Did I forget to mention my friend’s age?

He turned 27 years old five days ago.

b2 looks like a good weblog server although it’s completely dynamic and on each request posts are read from the database. That’s bad for the server if you have a lots of users. I started work on a Smarty enabled version today. It was pretty simple so far and I may have something ready by the end of the week! Read the link above for more on what Smarty can do for b2.
