My Mum's laptop has been slowing down on her recently and she's clearly getting fed up with it. Admittedly it was the bottom of the range and bought 2.5 years ago. It's running XP Home with 256MB RAM so I'm not surprised. Anyway, I finally went and checked on the Crucial website to see how [...]

Last month (doesn't time fly!) I wrote about improving my jQuery, whereby I wanted to just improve the code I'd been using on this project I've been working on for 3 months now. I'm all for more efficient code, and of course as with most programming languages, the more you use it, the more you [...]

(Yes it's another rant about a business!). It's a bit of a scam really in my opinion. It depends on whether you phone them, or if they phone you, and who you speak to. That's what it seems like. I've been a customer of Vodaphone's for the past 6 years, spending around £900 per contract [...]

Last night I went onto the RyanAir website to have a look at the cost of a return flight to Dublin for a long weekend away for us. On reaching the site I saw an advert on the front page showing flights for £1 each way. After a quick search I found we could fly [...]

Heh, was it ever here? Okay, it's not been that bad I guess, at least not as bad as last year. Our best week of sunshine was actually in January, when we went to Rome! However, it's probably not so bad as I'd have hated having to spend all of my time indoors working, when [...]

Yep, still busy here, but getting through it all slowly. In the mean time any WordPress users out there may be interested in my latest posts for BloggingTips.com. I decided that I wanted to see how the new Gallery feature worked in WordPress, along with displaying the EXIF data of the photo(s) uploaded, in part [...]

Usually you blog about something, putting your opinion over about something. Well today it's my turn to ask the questions! I have a number of jQuery questions and figured I'd leave them up here for either me to then find the answer or for someone who may know the answer to give me a few [...]

Yes, it's been a couple of weeks. I'm still alive… just. The site (that 2 week site) finally went live on Friday after 8 weeks of work, and it's not finished yet! It was rushed for going live as TV adverts for the site were already in place. Despite this I still wasn't left to [...]

Ooo what a cool date (note my dates are in the UK version of Day/Month/Year, in case that wasn't already obvious!). So we're into the first week of the second half of the year. Where does the time go?! This week hasn't been so great. On Tuesday evening I started to suffer with a [...]

It's been quiet round here of late. Actually most of the AIS/Money Making sites I subscribe to have been quiet of late. Could be the weather, the football (European Cup), Wimbledon, or just one of those periods where everyone stops blogging and actually starts concentrating on their sites! For me it's been a mix of a [...]

I've mentioned recently that I've had to start dabbling in AJAX (do we still write this in capitals?) and whilst my work has mixed both the Prototype and jQuery frameworks, I'm trying to learn jQuery and do everything in that so that I can drop Prototype. The main reason being that the jQuery framework [...]

Welcome to post number 500! Wow 500 posts on Stuff By Sarah alone (doesn't include my AIS posts), am quite impressed with that figure! I probably would have had far more if I didn't delete my earlier posts in 2004/05. Some were quite depressing and when I shifted over to WordPress I figured I no [...]

Yay, the first Sunday in a while that I've actually posted on! This has been the first weekend we've had at home and not had to go anywhere in about 4-5 weeks. It's been bliss! This week I've been working solidly on the site I've been working on for the past 3-4 weeks. I took the [...]

It's been a bit quiet around here lately due to business being exceptionally busy. A quick job has turned into a major job plus I'm also trying to continue to co-ordinate other work going on between the various people concerned. So work is a bit stressful right now, I've been working around 8-10 hours each [...]

May earnings were pretty good, mainly due to the first sales of my commercial plugins. The total income for the month was $374 which almost works out evenly between advertising (link sales), AdSense and product sales. Not a bad turn around from last year where about 75% of our income was from AdSense, which is [...]

Been a bit swamped with work round here lately. We took on a new client in the form of an agency last week and seems like they're going to have plenty to keep us occupied! Plus a couple of ongoing sites too so it's all go here. In between work I'm still trying to [...]

It's been a bit quiet around here as I've been working on our new commercial plugin site. We've now got a design for it which is being coded up into a WordPress theme, as we're going to use WordPress to power the site (obviously!). We're using Secure Delivery to deal with the delivery of the [...]

I know, it's Thursday, a bit late in the week for last weeks roundup. You're probably thinking I've been spending all of my time out playing with my new lens but alas that's not 100% true! Things have been a bit manic this week which I'll explain below. However, back to last week. Last week my [...]

I managed to grab a quick half an hour this evening to try out my new tripod and macro lens. The tripod is great however I'll be buying a mini or micro ball head to go on it. Whilst you don't need one, I'd like a quick release plate as it'd be so much [...]
