Using WAMP in Windows 8
I haven’t set this up yet, but I’m due for a new PC very soon, so I know that I’ll be needing to do this sooner rather than later, so I wanted to share some of the resources that I’ve found on how to get it working. Continue reading Using WAMP in Windows 8
Removing duplicate rows in MySQL (the “easy” way…)
I recently had to sort out a database for a client. It was a mess….
The database was for people to contact, sort of like a telemarketing system (their choice, not mine…). The problem that they were having was that the database contained a lot of entries that had people with different names at the same address with the same phone number.

“Your system is broken!”
I’ve had a curious request from a client today. They were asking why their online sales and quote tracking system wasn’t calculating the percentages. Of course that’s a big deal because they need to know how well each sales person is doing over the course of the month.

Help! my WordPress Site Has Been Hacked!
I am hearing this more and more these days. Partly on the WordPress forums, and also form clients that come to me and say “why does my site have these pharmacy adds on it?”
Gmail really does send SPAM!!!
Now I know that I’m probably going to get told off for this, and maybe even have some “official notices”, but I’m going to tell it like I see it.
In the past month I’ve got two things going on. I’ve been planning a wedding, and I’ve been discussing money matters with various parties. All in all, a very standard thing to do. Most of this has taken place through my default email account, that just happens to be GMail.
So, why do I think that that’s lead to me being SPAM’ed by Google? Very easy…
