Fixed No Berk Mode

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to fix No Berk Mode on Damian's site.

It had not been working after a few thousand attempts, and for the life of me there was no reason for it.

In end the end, it turned out to be the most mundane of errors.

I had accidentally put the parametres, for the 'strstr()` function, in the wrong way round, so that the code was search for the original string inside the new string. Like looking for a haystack inside a needle!

I blame it on coding for about 4 hours straight to get this coursework done.

Either that or I was just being a dumbfuck. More than likely the latter.

Coursework update

With another day of work to go, I have finished the coding for my coursework, a rather complex 892 line PHP script, fully commented and open sourced (GNU licence).

I've just finished Sections 1 & 2, and now need to complete sections 3, 4 and 5.

4 is easy to accomplish, 3 and 5 are a bit more difficult, but mainly rely on my ability to bullshit and design graphics (both of which I have in abundance).

Here's hoping..

A2 Computing coursework extended..

We've got a helluva lot more to do for our A2 Computing coursework than I originally thought; fortunately we also have a 2 week buffer zone before it's finally marked by our teacher, so improvements can still be made after Friday's deadline.

I think I can easilly get everything successfully bullshitted anyway.

Must remember to fix No Berk Mode on Damian's site for Laura, and work on the new Domo-Kun and Puffin enhanced version of the Scuttling Berk.

PhD

I think I've decided what I'd research for my Computer Science PhD, after I get a BsC and MsC (how's that for thinking ahead?)

Content Management over a computer network.

It's a topic I'm already doing a lot of research in now!
