In short, set WLM/MSN to run in Vista compatibility mode (right click the short cut -> properties -> compatibility)

Thanks to My Digital Life for the heads up!

Its Avatastic!

Its been a while since I last went on a code frenzy but my latest and greatest is nearing completion. All that remains to do is web based signups and e-mail address confirmation/validation, which should take no time at all to do and then bug fixings as and when they occur.

I don’t consider the site failing to render as expected in IE as a bug!

So what actually is Avatastic? Well put simply its a photo dump site for avatar sized images with the added bonus that you can specify ‘random’ as your desired image and you’ll pull a random image from your collection.

Why? Because I can and have been meaning to do something like this for a while now.
How? That’s a trade secret.

This entire project has been written from scratch in PHP and makes no use of other code. Any similarities between the function and code base of this project and your own are entirely coincidental.

Beer me!

New project launched

Following on from the “There’s no place like Tau’ri” t-shirt (below), we are starting a new community based project at www.llanbadarn.fawr.co.uk

We are unsure how well the project will work, or how involved the community will get, but time will tell!

Beer me!
