About
Hi, I'm James. I'm a (web) User-Interface Developer from Brisbane, Australia.
I'm 25, totally into guitars and music generally. I've been programming PHP for about 5 years and just started really getting into Ruby. I do also design stuff occasionally and I even touch that evil thing known as Flash once in a while.
You are welcome to read more about me at my personal website: www.ucantblamem.com and see some of my snaps at flickr.

A somewhat addictive little flash game.
Quick and dirty objects in PHP Apr 19
If you have taken the opportunity to read more than a single post on this blog, it should come as no surprise that my two favourite programming languages are Ruby and JavaScript - almost completely because of the strong object-orientation of the languages. However, PHP is ...
Match maker, match maker... Apr 10
Of the 95 string functions available in PHP, not one gives you the convenience of loosely matching two strings. What do I mean by that? Well, you and I could easily discern that the phrase "funding and charters" is the same as "Funding & Charters", however a computer w...

yeah i keep thinking i'll go for a ride but never seem to get time. Got an interview in the city this afternoon, kind of crazy for me cause I've been working 9 years and never had one, see how we go I guess. Antiskeptic and Blindside were the ones to see there, thats all I went for then saw after I could have seen them both Thursday night on the gold coast.

hey, i did catch Blindside and Antiskeptic @ AGMF. Loved both shows. Did you see Day of Fire when they played in the shed tent? They were a mystery artist or something, didn't mind them but couldn't stay Sunday to see them again. Where do you go mountain biking in Brisbane, I haven't ridden my bike since I moved up here this year.

Wow, this is one of the best profile pages around... the design is really great! I found your "Virb profile custom header" post on your blog and thought it was really useful. The problem is, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to CSS. I know absolutely nothing about it. I don't even know where to paste the code! Can you please help me out? I'm really frustrated... Thx!
