Lack of posts

Sorry about the lack of posts folks but I am very busy with study for my finals.
I did find http://www.wikipedia.org though which is great and well worth a look. Wiki websites are on the up. I will however never make Philroche.net a Wiki website as frankly my mates would destroy it.
Wiki website is a website where anybody can edit the page's content.

Jerry Maguire

I took a break form my Docs writing for a few hours today to watch Jerry maguire on TV3, That film is the ultimate in feel-good movies… If you're feeling down , give it a go, I guarantee it will give you a lift.

Test HTML Special Characters

Testing new Special Character handling ˆ á. It seems that XML does not like some characters so i have had to change these characters to their Hexadecimal equivalents. The most comprehensive list of HTML Characters I have found is http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm and http://www.unicode.org/charts/ .

I've added the What's a Weblog? link to the main page. This is a link to the Essay I wrote entitled “Weblogs What, How and Why?. “.

philPaddys day is coming up soon [March 17th for those that don't know], hence the flag. I hope y'all are ready for a weekend of severe binge drinking, come on!!!

Resource Hacker

http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/ is a brilliant tool I found when I came across Mozilla Splash screens. MozillaNews has instructions on how to use Resource Hacker to change the Splash screen. It is really simple. MozillaNews also has a few examples of alternative splash screens that you could use. Being the Soppy Git that I am I have an image of my Girlfriend as my splash screen, at least she knows I think of her at least once a day (that is when I boot up Mozilla).

phil Condolences to my brother Peter who lost his All Ireland GAA VEC Schools Semi-Final. they lost by two points and It was supposedly a good match. It was in Nenagh so I didn't get a chance to go.

It's been red nose week all week, at RedNoseDay.com. The documentary on “African Hospital” with Billy Connolly was brilliant and if I was working full time I would definitely be donating money to that charity.

ste has given his webiste a complete revamp (www.ste.org )It looks seriously sweet. A plug for myself : ste is using by Blog Script and GUI, which reminds me , I might (if time permits) put my Blog Script up on Aggreg8 as a Side project. ste also has an RSS feed and recently has been posting alot and frequently. A good read.

Personal Digital Cert.

With so much talk of certificates in Security protocols i decided to get myself one.
Thwate offer them for free here . To view details of your cert go here. It's free for a personal Cert. which is what I have requested, it's in X509 format which is exactly what we are using in college. I'm not too sure how it works but it seems that there is an MS version and also a non-MS version (i.e if you are using a non-Microsoft email program).

Update: I've downloaded and installed both Certificates and they work perfectly (MS and Netscape/Mozilla). I also found on my travels today a very good intro to passwords and how to choose them, well worth a read.
