So, finally after many furious attempts, I have completed One Shot, One Kill on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Veteran difficulty. I had a huge amount of determination and it paid off. I’m just dreading the rest of the game after that insane battle at the showdown of the end.

Note to self: update wordpress!

So I have taken a bit of a direction change to something I feel more comfortable with and I’ll be starting my new job in Fareham on Tuesday. Rather excited to start, I went in a few days ago to meet the guys (and gals) there, they all seem pretty cool, so hopefully I’ll fit right in.

I went airsofting at UCAP for the first time in ages on Wednesday, it was nice to play again, except I did get utterly sprayed when a guy came round the corner all guns blazing… I now have a bruise on my chin, but it’s covered by my big beard. Matt was down there also for the first time in even longer, but thats because he’s got a little one to worry about! Congratulations to him and whatnot.

Signing out now, ta ta for now.

It’s ace! Simple as.

I’ve started working on a little secret project in PHP at home, just for fun really, but it might take off (but, like anything I do probably won’t go very far…). With it, I’ve created a static PHP class for connecting/querying a MySQL database. At the moment, it’s extremely extremely simple, but here it is anyway. I’ll update it when it becomes a bit more complex, but it’s here mainly as a resource for myself, but anyone is welcome to use it as long as they keep the notice in tact at the top!

Sometimes I find it hard to think of the correct DOCTYPE for an HTML document, and probably due to laziness I usually omit the DOCTYPE tag, which of course puts most browsers into “Quirks” mode. I’m trying now to be a bit more specific from now on, so I found a blog post on “A List Apart”.
