It’s been a lot of hard work, and there’s still much to do, but WeLeaseAnyCar.com is now live.

Not Another Diet

Posted by David Hurst on June 9, 2011 None comments

My pal Pete has a message of gastric importance to deliver, and he has chosen the medium of blog to share his newly acquired nutritional wisdom with the masses. Having watched Pete become quite literally half the man he was in a ludicrously short space of time, I wonder if he may just be on to something.

I myself have a love/hate relationship with food. Granted, there is a lot more love than there is hate. I fear that I am fast becoming the unfortunate answer to the oft posed question “who ate all the pies?”. Yep, it was me. They were delicious.

So, if you have the stomach for it, don’t bother with that fad diet you’ve been meaning to start “tomorrow” and waddle on over to notanotherdiet.co.uk instead.

I might join you there in a bit – after I’ve finished my supper…

Bringing Home the Bacon

Posted by David Hurst on November 30, 2009 None comments

I do love a nice slice of bacon (or three), and I have a real soft spot for quality sausages, so I was very happy to help out Bringing Home the Bacon with a new website! Obviously, much of the produce was sampled in the name of research – it’s a difficult job, but someone had to do it.

Bringing Home the Bacon specialise in free range, handmade dry cured bacon and sausages. All the meat comes from the farm’s own herd of pigs, so quality is paramount from piglet to plate. There’s also gluten free sausages for pork lovers with allergies.

Anyway, if you’re local to Somerset, and you feel the need for some delicious free range pork goodies, give the website a click on the link above.

Secure Online Random Password Generator

Posted by David Hurst on March 3, 2008 3 comments

Regular readers of my blog may remember, or have used, my secure random password generator class. For those who aren’t PHP proficient, or just can’t be bothered to create the pages necessary, I’ve implemented it into a new website: www.random-password.net. I hope it proves useful.

The benefit of my class is that it generates passwords based upon a pattern, and you can make it generate upto 99 random passwords based on your pattern in a single click. The random-password.net website also stores a convenient cookie, so that it will remember your pattern each time you visit.

Let me have any comments or suggestions please, and I love to hear from you if my work has helped you in any way.

I have launched a new website to bring attention to domain name scams and help bring the perpetrators to some sort of justice, or at least get them closed down.

Debian Linux server farm – email server with Postfix/MySQL

Posted by David Hurst on June 6, 2007 2 comments

We’ve really taken a giant leap forward in our hosting services from Higher Sites with the introduction of a new server farm. It’s been 6 months in the planning and testing phase, and on the 1st June the servers were installed into a datacentre in Manchester where we have rented a cabinet. Suffice to say our hosting expenses have risen considerably, but the ability to offer a completely customised hosting solution is worth the extra £££. Read more »

Finally…!!!

We have finally finished the new Higher Sites website. When I say finished, I mean we got it to the state where it could go live – there is much still to add in. It’s amazing how difficult it is to find time to do your own site, especially when you are spending so much time building sites for clients – I guess potential customers should be nervous if they ever come across a web developer with a really good website!

Anyway, please take a look: www.highersites.co.uk.
