Had a few restless nights with a distinct lack of sleep.
I bought some DEEP SLEEP valerian tablets and that seems to knock me out and last night I finally got some decent sleep.
Tonight I printed out some more photos of friends for my Friends Wall. It’s looking good.
I’ve been spending the last couple of days designing a front page webpage for my friend, Striker. He is updating a site he maintains so I suggested helping out. I’ve got most of the design done, but I’m no Graphic Design artist so someone else may have to take over ‘prettying it up’. The programming is solid, though. (PHP).
Spent last night recovering a friend’s ‘hacked’ phpBB. I might have to upgrade it by hand if we can’t get the Control Panel type login to work. It wasn’t a big hack. More of a basic SQL injection. That version of phpBB lets you set the Forum Topic Description to anything, so injecting it with a small amount of HTML with a new layer 1000 x 1100 is enough to obliterate a page and annoy people. I just deleted it and put plain text back in. That’s the second time I’ve recovered their board from hacking. I wonder if phpBB3 will ever come out? I wonder if anyone cares? phpBB ain’t brilliant but it’s the best of the worst.
You can check my Poker Blog for info on last Sunday’s game. It was wikkid! I didn’t go tonight as I’m still tired from the last few nights and wanted to do more design work for Striker. Darn guy hasn’t been on the last couple of nights so I can’t show him the work I did.
I might go to IJs Thursday night for the last ever QPE game there. Usually I go to GRSL instead but I don’t do so well at APL games and have more friends at QPE. QPE may even end up hosting at GRSL so I’m keeping my fingers crossed as it’s down the road from where I live. Save a 20 min drive and instead have a 6min one.
Hmm.. so much for ‘not much to say’….
Haven’t bought any presents yet. Have to shop for parents and Sienna soon. Lisa suggested taking her to Toyworld (her = Sienna, not her = Lisa) and let her go wild playing with toys then buy the ones she likes. Might be a good idea. I really wanted to get her a kite to play with but nobody stocks them any more. I’ve since seen Stacey’s blog photos and see she got one for Katie so they are around somewhere.
