Things that annoy me

  1. Idiots who redistribute insecure scripts or scripts that aren't around on the author's site any more.
    I saw a classic the other day: "PHPCurrently (might be hackable) - download here!11one" Might be hackable?! Why on earth would you give it out for others to install then? For your information, PHPCurrently isn't just a "might be" in terms of "hackability" - it's a "definitely".

  2. People who think they know what they're doing and preach about it when they have no idea what they're on about.
    "I LERNT PHP!11!1" No, you learnt PHP includes. "OMFG THATZ LEIK PHP THO I ROOLZ!!11"

  3. WordPress.
    Why are you suddenly not working with my forms any more? I'm not talking about this site - WP (usually) worked fine on here, but it's a client's site. Can't really switch them to my CMS because they need the rich text editor (and no, my CMS doesn't have one :P ). No explanation as to why the form won't work. Same script, same version, same everything... WP just doesn't like it any more. Gah.

  4. University work.
    I have to do my dissertation again, from scratch. The draft I handed in last week was no where near good enough, apparently. Grrr.

  5. Cutenews.
    Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a great script. I've never used it though, and I always associate it with really bad "tween" sites full of rubbish tutorials, stolen layouts and all that. Of course, there are exceptions to those, but still... The URLs are ugly (who wants those long index.php?subaction=showcomments&blahblahblahblah=1&blah=2 things? Not me) and it just ... doesn't appeal to me.

Um, and other things that I can't think of right now. :P

Please teach Akismet

To everyone who uses the Akismet anti-spam system: please check your spam queues because poor old Jem is STILL being marked as spam even though she and others have spent most of yesterday telling Akismet that she isn't a spammer.

(I'll have my cheque now please, Jem. :P)

In other highly interesting news... I got a new phone (yay for free network upgrades!). It's a Motorola KRZR K1. It's small and thin, but I'm not sure I prefer it over my RAZR V3i... Time will tell, I felt this way about the RAZR when I first got it, but I ended up keeping it. Meh.

...is in the works.

Any feature requests or improvements that you would like to see in the new version?

So far, version 3 contains the following new features:

  • Customisation through templates
  • User-end searching
  • Automatic WordPress configuration

As well as the following improvements:

  • Summary by category now optional
  • "Sort alphabetically by category" option removed, though individual category sorting still remains
  • Better URL structure
  • faq.php removed - index.php is now the main page
  • Improved login security
  • Complete code rewrite, now uses Object Oriented Programming
  • New database structure for improved performance

Anyone want anything else?

Also, a new version of NL-PHPMail has been released (2.2), so you should all go and download it right now. Yes.

In other coding-related news, I have successfully managed to integrate Akismet into my CMS. I think it's all working properly, and besides a few problems the other day when either everything was spam or everything was ham (not spam), it seems to be working now and genuine comments are being let through while spammy ones are not. Not that I've had any spam while using this CMS yet, but I'm sure I will.
