• joelg87: @thewebsiteplace It's going pretty well, we're certainly getting there! We will be revealing a little more this weekend ;) 2nd July at 5:08 pm GMT
• joelg87: Off to go buy a fan. I love the new place but it's so hot! Hoping i can fix my vhosts issue when i'm back and work on @getOnePage! 2nd July at 4:19 pm GMT
• joelg87: @MarkGibbens It's to do with my VirtualHost code in httpd-vhosts.conf, since if I remove it loads again. No idea what's wrong with it tho :( 2nd July at 3:47 pm GMT
• joelg87: @MarkGibbens I'm using XAMPP on Windows 7. Not had a problem before, but I keep getting server errors and access forbidden. Any ideas? 2nd July at 3:43 pm GMT

• joelg87: @roncioso Yeah you could be right, but it's strange as it was an account I'd only just opened and I'm pretty sure I had no followers! 2nd July at 12:38 pm GMT
• joelg87: @roncioso Well, it does, but it seems pretty bad. It's at http://help.twitter.com/. An account of mine has been suspended for no reason! :( 2nd July at 12:23 pm GMT
• joelg87: Been waiting for a support request with @twitter for 4 days now. I am NOT happy! 2nd July at 12:10 pm GMT

• joelg87: I remember #moonfruit from years and years ago. Didn't realise they were still going strong! Awesome. 2nd July at 10:57 am GMT

• joelg87: @Awfy Ouch, I may be out the next round then. I just moved to Sheffield! Will be here for a while. I have trips to cov tho, we shud meet. 1st July at 8:20 pm GMT
• joelg87: @Awfy Haha, just seen your ratio. Now I'm scared you'll get bored of my ramblings soon and I'll lose my privileged spot! How are things? 1st July at 8:06 pm GMT

• joelg87: @journik Thanks for following! Twitseeker told me you found me through it, may I ask how you found me? Glad to have an investor following ;) 1st July at 6:49 pm GMT
• joelg87: @chrismurray0 Yep, I highly recommend! Only thing not working in 7 is my Wireless NIC, but I can cope with that and buy a cheap usb one :) 1st July at 6:28 pm GMT

• joelg87: @richardathome I won't be quite that early, but I will try and make it. Would be good to chat about CakePHP, I'm a CodeIgniter dev myself. 30th June at 2:52 pm GMT
• joelg87: @richardathome It's a pleasure, enlightening for me also! I will try and use context more now. I see you're in Sheffield.. #geekup tomorrow? 30th June at 2:38 pm GMT
• joelg87: @duellsy Ok, cheers! 30th June at 2:29 pm GMT
• joelg87: @paul_irish Just discovered your blog and some fantastic articles :) Thanks. You have a new subscriber ;) 30th June at 2:27 pm GMT
• joelg87: Crazy isn't it! Interesting discussion in comments at http://bit.ly/16iDZa. Not 100% sure about it yet, but I think giving context is good. 30th June at 2:18 pm GMT
• Shared UK government creates £150m fund to help VCs back startups. Good for you? Or just the VCs? 30th June at 2:11 pm GMT
• joelg87: Just a note: $("#id .class") is much slower than $(".class", "#id"). Not obvious but worth using that context param more! #jquery 30th June at 2:04 pm GMT
• joelg87: Just discovered the Firebug console.time() and console.timeEnd() functions for measuring JS execution time. Handy! :) 30th June at 1:52 pm GMT
• joelg87: @duellsy That sounds interesting. Care to share? Also, I see you use joomla? Have you also used drupal? If so, how do they compare? 30th June at 12:58 pm GMT
• joelg87: @duellsy I would probably build it on top of the CodeIgniter framework, and would definitely consider the open source route :) 30th June at 7:50 am GMT
• joelg87: @Firehed Cheers! Will check them out (wish I had a mac!). I found MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser, they seem decent :) 29th June at 11:39 pm GMT
• joelg87: @grantlucas Cheers! Will check that one out, though I found MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser and they seem decent :) 29th June at 11:38 pm GMT
• joelg87: @duellsy Been there. I've come to the conclusion I'm just too fussy. May build my own... 29th June at 11:01 pm GMT
• joelg87: Hi everyone! Could people let me know what they use for SQL management/exploring (not phpmyadmin)? Thanks! :) 29th June at 9:43 pm GMT
• joelg87: So much to do! 29th June at 7:04 pm GMT
• joelg87: @duellsy CushyCMS is nice and satisfies the simplicity aspect, but doesn't quite do enough. I need multiple entries e.g. news, and other. 29th June at 5:47 pm GMT
• joelg87: @chrismurray0 It's really good, just wish it'd work with Windows 7 (think it's a gfx driver issue not dualhead2go). Definitely recommended! 28th June at 6:38 pm GMT
• joelg87: @richardathome Yup. I think Drupal is overkill in a lot of situations. I am currently giving symphony-cms a go, pleased so far. WP != CMS. 28th June at 3:55 pm GMT
• joelg87: Think I'll cook soon. Not sure what though.. carbonara or fajitas? 28th June at 3:20 pm GMT
• joelg87: Very much liking Windows 7 apart from the fact that my dualhead2go isn't working. Down to 2 monitors :( 28th June at 2:58 pm GMT
• Loved Utah Saints - Something Good (High Contrast 28th June at 2:49 pm GMT
• joelg87: Time to find the nearby Tesco! Sweet day. Aviators for sure :) 28th June at 2:16 pm GMT
• joelg87: @Awfy Very nice. Really liking the look of symphony now, hopefully I still will when I delve into the code. Cheers for the tip mate. 28th June at 2:14 pm GMT
• joelg87: @saulcozens Don't like the sound of huge! I'll give it a go though, thanks! 28th June at 2:13 pm GMT
• joelg87: @ashleymoran Yep, you've hit the nail on the head there, I agree completely. That's why I like the look of Perch. 28th June at 2:12 pm GMT
• joelg87: @ashleymoran PHP is my thing but I'll definitely check it out, cheers! 28th June at 2:09 pm GMT
• joelg87: @ashleymoran Sounds good. That makes me think different tools are good for different purposes. A social portal is a specific requirement. 28th June at 2:09 pm GMT
• joelg87: @marcjohnson liferay looks interesting. Wish I could get into their demo! http://demo.liferay.net/web/guest/home 28th June at 1:58 pm GMT
• joelg87: @Awfy Symphony looks like it's worth a shot, cheers Greg. Can't find an online demo anywhere :( 28th June at 1:57 pm GMT
• joelg87: @ashleymoran No idea, and one of my accounts is currently suspended for no reason I know of! I doubt there's much formal methodology. 28th June at 1:56 pm GMT
• joelg87: @ashleymoran Haha yeah it is a shame :( I guess Twitter should make it easier to report spam, just a button or something 28th June at 1:51 pm GMT
• joelg87: Feeling pretty good with my project management, invoicing and SVN/deployment tools integrating so well! Basecamp, Freshbooks and Springloops 28th June at 1:29 pm GMT
• joelg87: Twitter spam is seriously on the rise :\ 28th June at 1:26 pm GMT
• joelg87: Fed up with CMS's overcomplicating the task for clients. Strongly considering building my own. 28th June at 1:22 pm GMT
• joelg87: @marcjohnson @chrismurray0 I guess wordpress is a pretty good platform. Will consider. Might build own. I like look of http://grabaperch.com 28th June at 1:16 pm GMT
• joelg87: @saulcozens Yeah, they're pretty decent, using one of them for a client. Concern - should client have power to change style? I think not. 28th June at 1:14 pm GMT
• joelg87: Absolutely loving the High Contrast Pjanoo remix right now! http://bit.ly/1ao1hS 28th June at 1:12 pm GMT
• joelg87: @saulcozens I'd definitely agree with that. Starting to consider slowly building my own as needed. CodeIgniter base, me thinks. 28th June at 1:09 pm GMT
• joelg87: My main desire of a CMS is making it easy for clients, e.g. Adding an image in amongst text - they shouldn't have to deal with URLs etc! 28th June at 1:08 pm GMT
• joelg87: @marcjohnson My concern is that Wordpress is not the right tool? And I've looked into Drupal but it seems to overcomplicate. Cheers! 28th June at 1:07 pm GMT
• joelg87: @saulcozens I've dabbled with both Wordpress and ExpressionEngine and not completely happy with either. Maybe I'm too fussy! 28th June at 1:05 pm GMT
• joelg87: @chrismurray0 Oops, this was meant to be @ you :) http://twitter.com/joelg87/status/2371226911 28th June at 1:04 pm GMT
• joelg87: Yeh, content management is something I've not yet solved to my satisfaction. Wordpress good but wrong tool? and joomla/drupal seem overkill! 28th June at 1:00 pm GMT
• joelg87: Please could you guys give me your recommendations for PHP CMS's? What I'm really after is it being dead simple for my clients. Cheers! 28th June at 12:37 pm GMT
• joelg87: Gonna take it easy today and try and get just a few hours of real good work done. Back to priority research work tomorrow :) 28th June at 11:33 am GMT
