Darker Inactive Tabs in Chrome for Mac
I've recently made the switch from Firefox to Chrome as my default browser and by and large I'm very happy with the decision. One thing that was niggling me though was that when you have a lot of tabs open, it can be tricky to tell which tab is active. I tried playing with some of the available themes but… read more →

CodeIgniter Conference 2012
I love CodeIgniter. So when I found out there was a two-day conference dedicated to it in my home town, it frankly would have been rude not to have turned up.

I’ve adopted Mugaruka and Chimanuka - two Eastern Lowland gorillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Currently there are only about 3000 of these beautiful primates left on our planet and they face constant dangers, including poaching, the exotic pet trade and more.
