The Great phone debate?

by Nicolas Blank 9 February 2012 Commentary

Windows Phone 8 Preview’s are out, and they are tempting! Tempting to what you may ask? The temptation is to wait. Nokia is expected to release the Lumia 900 as the crown jewel of  the Lumia range  (possibly sooner than expected) running Windows Phone 7.5.

PHP Applications: Pt 4 – SquirrelMail

by Robby Pedrica 19 October 2011 Applications

Squirrelmail is one of the old guard, starting life out in 1999 already. Written to HTML 4 specs, SqM tries to be as compatible as possible with the widest range of browsers.

PHP Applications: Pt 2 – phpMyAdmin

by Robby Pedrica 22 September 2011 Applications

No discussion of MySQL is complete without mentioning phpMyAdmin, ( in my opinion ) the best web-based management tool around.
