Another day, another picture. It's another one I started ages ago:

I was thinking this could be near the beginning, giving you the first visual sign that you are in space.

More drawing for the on-going RPG that I am (very) slowly building. This time it's a background:

Transparent Arrays
4th February 2011

Last night I had a brainwave on a new language feature for Quby. I suspect this exists in other languages already, however it doesn't in many mainstream ones.

HTML generation in PHP
31st August 2010

I'm currently toying with the idea of building some classes for generating HTML from PHP code. The idea is to try to cut down on the mix-mash you can get of HTML and PHP, especially to remove all of the <?php ?> tags you end up having everywhere.
