This is a step by step tutorial about optimizing a link directory site. I’m doing this for my one and only link directory which starts to grow old in a world of social media domination.

PHP Programming

Chip — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 11:28:35 +0000

I’ve been working a lot these days to complete several big projects, and a handful of smaller ones. They’re all related to PHP and optimization. I’ve been thinking of a switch-based PHP preloading technique, which I’m trying to implement in a couple of projects. What I’m trying to do exactly is update my CMSs and make [...]

Chip — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 18:13:04 +0000

Chip — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:17:10 +0000

Did you notice Blog Tycoon’s new theme? It’s still Whiskey Air, but this time it’s dark. And green. While the light one lacked some functionality and had some errors, I found some time to change some colours and I ended up with completely redoing the design. If you wonder if that’s a “30″ up there, it [...]

What Browser Do You Use? IE6 Or Netscape?

Chip — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:56:59 +0000

I’d rather use Netscape. I like it more than Internet Explorer 6. I’m also building web pages with Netscape Composer. That was a flashback. Remember? The good ol’ days when I used Netscape Composer to code web sites and IE6 to test them. IE6 was quick, top of the line and… the only one. [...]
