Database Abstraction with ADODB
Sunday 17th December, 2006 - By Woolie 
The use of abstraction layers is a controversial topic among PHP users. There are many reasons why people use them, and likewise why they don’t. The fact is, abstraction layers will always be around and they provide a very quick way of creating applications, even though for very high traffic sites, it may be a performance hit to use large libraries if they aren’t properly scripted. In this article I will be going through the advantages and disadvantages of using the ADODB database abstraction layer. This article is biased in it’s favour but I will also be discussing the disadvantages.

In this short article, I will be introducing you to PHP. There will be no actual code, just a bit of background knowledge. This article is going to be one of a series of PHP articles/tutorials introducing you to PHP.
OpenDNS, It Works
Monday 27th November, 2006 - By Woolie
Ok so I’ve made the plunge and routed my network’s DNS requests through OpenDNS. I was first quite skeptical that it would have much of a speed increase, but as soon as I tried it, I was hooked. I currently have, to be frank, a shit service provider (certainly their DNS servers). I will get random 404 errors and frequently slow access times. Because I’m now going through OpenDNS I have access to all of their caches, and as they’re so large almost every website I visit is cached already. This means that the page I’m wanting starts loading instantly.
The 30min Website
Monday 20th November, 2006 - By Woodsup 
So, me and Woolies (Woolies and I….) happened to be fairly bored in a free period, and with 2 computers to spare, and a bit of know-how, we decided to partake in a quick bit of webshite.
Naturally, I was in charge of prettyness, and layout, and general content, and colour scheme, and logo, and name…..so Woolie did all the work 
The reason I haven’t been posting anything lately is because all of my time is being spent on the new Fly2Blue.com Administration System. Once completed, it will allow my customers to do just about anything on their site. I might as well use my blog as a place to start writing the feature list, as it will take me longer if I have to do it afterwards.
