  • Getting SOAPy without a shower or bath

    I’ve been pondering whether SOAP actually has any use for any personal projects I’m thinking of, or for my $dayjob code. Today, I decided to play with PHP5’s SOAP implementation, just to see how weird the SOAPy life is. I read the php.net documentation on SOAP, and to say it’s lacking is like saying the…

  • Plastered!

    My kitchen, not me. It now has to dry, and I need to decide on tiles vs upstand vs backsplash (or a combination of the above). The plasterer also fixed the spot at the top of my stairs. There’s also a video available – you’ll probably need VLC to play it, as it’s a 3GP…
