Ahh finally I manage to get my blog back on-line again. I have installed WordPress and have been playing with that (this blog is powered by Serendipity at the moment) and it's got a very nice interface indeed, not to mention a great community behind it. However I managed to fix the speed issue with Serendipity (or rather, with the Extended Stats plugin for it) that caused my host to pull the database from use due to overloading.

I'm writing a script to convert all my sy9 posts and comments over to WordPress, but until that's ready I'll carry on here.

It feels good to be back, a lot has happened since July 2007

I figured that it really was about time I got my PHP blog off the ground. Although I don't consider myself "up there" with such luminaries as Sklar, Zandstra, Alshanetsky or Shiflett, I have been coding in PHP for many years, and hope I can impart some of my findings / experience. As well as gain some feedback on ideas, concepts, niggles and general geek life. I'm using Serendipity, which I have to admit was a complete breeze to get up and running, and am about to hit the themes folder to jazz this place up a little. So, welcome one and all.
