Dear Sirs,
It’s my great pleasure to contact you !
We learned from Internet you are interested in tents. We have been in this line of business for many years. We wish […]

Since I’ve signed up with flickr I’ve been inviting as many people as I can to join up as well. I’ve long pasted the 5 invitations which are nessesary to qualify me for a ‘PRO’ account, but I keep on inviting people because it’s just that good!
Today, through an error message that arrived in my […]

International PHP Magazine - Cutting-Edge Technologies for Web Professionals - Columns
I’ve just set up PHPBarnstormer.com to act as a “short URL” for my column at phpmag.
You can either go straight to phpbarnstormer.com or you can use the short urls to go directly to the articles.

Fractured Realities
In this blog entry Davey counts the ads on devshed. The paged weighed in at 16 ads per page. That’s a heck of a lot of ads.

An old buddy of mine has hacked up some templates for squirrelmail, and is offering a fully loaded squirrelmail bundle from his site.
It looks like it’s focused at people who are too ignorant/lazy to do the work themselves. There are several different options, support is included with each package.
