I saw that yesterday and thought I might do it, but October is almost over :(

Ah, I've figured out why it wasn't working, it wasn't the directories. It's the fact that it linked to the old domain which wordpress was installed on... :v:

EDIT: HUZZAH!

New idea: an open-source porn website where actors offer their bodies under the MIT license.

[QUOTE=H4Z3Y;32936563]No, it's just that if you want users you need to innovate. If you don't expect users though, no need to worry about it then.[/QUOTE]There's not really much space left for innovation in that field.

I'm pretty sure there is, and you just haven't though of it yet... nobody thought revolutionising the tablet was possible until apple came along, and when they did everyone was incredibly sceptical.

"hard to read" is putting it nicely, it's nigh-on impossible

After weeks of trying to push myself to move to pdo, I finally chose to start to move over, it's a lot easier than I thought to do!

[QUOTE=TehWhale;32939391]The minecraft font for all the content is bad. It's pretty hard to read.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I see what you mean, any font recommendations, I can't really find any that look nice with the sort of "blocky" theme of Minecraft.

EDIT:

Seems rather similar yet easier to read.

A pixel font is terrible for any type of blog, just too unreadable. Your best bet would be Helvetica, Arial and a few other san-serif fonts.

[landocalrissian]

[QUOTE=iamacyborg;32939748]Please no.[/QUOTE]

Holy fuck my eyes, why did I think that was a good idea

EDIT: Arial is a lot nicer, but looks way to plain

Yeah, if you're going to use a pixel font, it can be done, but it needs to be a bit more legible, and your articles need to be hella short.

I'm sorry I can't really provide an example here, but I've seen it done before on oddwebsite.com

[B]Edit:[/B] Found an example: [url]http://2005.oddwebsite.com/rant.php?tjord=41[/url]

Clearly you should only use it if you're intentionally wanting it to look like poopoo.

Currently I have;

try {
    $dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=dbname', $user, $pass, array(
    PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true
));

which works fine, how come when I try and put this in a central config file as a connection and call it with an include() that it fails?

probably something stupidly simple, but I'm new to PDO

[QUOTE=H4Z3Y;32939298]I'm pretty sure there is, and you just haven't though of it yet... nobody thought revolutionising the tablet was possible until apple came along, and when they did everyone was incredibly sceptical.[/QUOTE]Sure, but at the same it's not that easy to come up with such ideas.

[landocalrissian]

Found a font perfect for what I was looking for;

Not so pixely so that you can't read it, but still has the pixely look to it.

It's probably because you're missing the [b]catch[/b] block.

try { 
    $foo = new Bar;
} catch (BarException $e) {
    print $e->getMessage();
}

[TehWhale]

And probably because he doesn't have a closing brace there.

try {
stuff
);

Forgot to include it, but it did have that part nearer the end.

I'm stupid, thank you!

I was designing a thing for about an hour when I realized I had never saved. I nearly had a heart attack.

[QUOTE=TerabyteS_;32942575]I was designing a thing for about an hour when I realized I had never saved. I nearly had a heart attack.[/QUOTE]

I'm neurotic when it comes to saving, I CTRL+S after every single change.

[Known Havok]

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32942733]I'm neurotic when it comes to saving, I CTRL+S after every single change.[/QUOTE]

I used to not, but since I switched to sublime text I CTRL+S after every snippet. N++ had a save all button, which I used regularly

[TerabyteS_]

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32942733]I'm neurotic when it comes to saving, I CTRL+S after every single change.[/QUOTE]Yeah but in Photoshop (at least on my computer) whenever you save it takes a good 10 seconds, so my fingers have learnt not to press ctrl-s a tad too well.

I wonder if dumping your stuff to a RAM disk would speed it up at all.

[ptown2]

So the word counter function in PHP is a useless shit (well, not much, if done right) so I've made my own word counter with trial and error.

When I mean trial and error, I mean looking some examples then mixing it with my experience.

FYI, this was made a few months ago using the PunBB Forum Software. So here, butcher that function for your own needs.

haven't you said before that you use FTP to move files on your computer because moving them in Windows actually takes longer

[QUOTE=anton;32944534]haven't you said before that you use FTP to move files on your computer because moving them in Windows actually takes longer[/QUOTE]To put them on my localhost yeah. That also proved to be true. Good thing I'm moving to a new PC in a week or two, and that one is a godly PC, $1811 of awesomeness.
