Phew, such a busy week. Work deadlines, family coming over, all sorts of stuff. I’m feeling pretty tired, but next week looks a bit quieter. Anyway, here’s another ‘Things I’ve Learned’ post.

General stuff and things. Mostly stuff, but the odd thing too.
Things I’ve Learned Lately
I find it difficult to think of good subjects on which to write blog posts. Well, often I’ll have an idea or solve a PHP problem or find a useful tool, or something of that nature and think ‘I’ll write a blog post about that later!’. But when it comes to actually writing something, I usually can’t think of enough to say to warrant / deserve of full blog post, so just give up.
So, in an effort to keep at least a little blogging output going, I’m going to post a ‘Things I’ve Learned’ list every once in a while. These will just be bits and bobs of information to do with work, PHP, WordPress, web design, life in general… anything really that I have discovered. Although I suspect much of it will be things I should probably already know

They’re in PNG format and come in two sizes; 16x16px and 32x32px.
Firefox Personas
I thought I’d try my hand at producing a couple of Firefox Personas, or should that be Personae? Either way, it’s a very simple process, just create a couple of images, pick a couple of colours and upload it to the gallery.
It’s great that Mozilla have made it so easy to create Personas, however, this ease-of-use seems to have lead to rather a lot of… um… ‘interesting’ submissions to the gallery. Some of my personal favourites:
Up and Running
Hello!
So, I’m up and running on the webternets. As I said on the homepage, this site will be a portfolio, a blog and a place for me to test out ideas and suchlike.
I’ll mainly talk about web design and development stuff on my blog, but I suspect other topics may come up as and when the inspiration arises.
Here’s a few notes about the construction of the site itself:
