Darker Inactive Tabs in Chrome for Mac

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.

CodeIgniter Conference 2012

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. Codeigniter Conference 2012 (or CICONF, from now on) featured talks from people like Phil Sturgeon, Jamie Rumbelow and Harro 'WanWizard' Verton, who should be familiar to anyone who's worked… read more →

Smile CSV Scraper for FreeAgent and Xero

Smile CSV Scraper for FreeAgent and Xero

Are you happy with your bank? I am. I use Smile and they're five-nines awesome - I heartily recommend them to anyone who banks in the UK. The real killer feature - their ethical policy as part of the Co-operative Bank - something all commercial banks should have in my opinion. One thing they don't do though, is allow you… read more →
