Big shout out to Alec Stone AKA DJ Caress and all the ravers who made it for a great B2B set at Second Bridge last night! Sure the DnB emptied the club of all the 'Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night'-heads, but that gave the bass-heads more space to spack out! We shall be uploading an MP3 version of our set on SoundCloud at some point, hopefully you'll see us tearing it up again in 2010!

Away with rubbish Vista, I am now running Windows 7 Professional on my desktop. Pretty good if you ask me, I'm rather impressed, although it's really what Vista should have been when it came out. The brand new taskbar design is brilliant, although I'm not sure whether there are enough tweaks and mods to make it feel like you've actually got a new operating system. Having said that though, my box is running about a gazillion times faster than while it was a slave to Vista, so very pleased on that note.

I have added a PC Essentials list - these are free, essential programs most of which I download and install on all my computers and PC rebuilds. Let me know if you have any suggestions for additions.

After a long 3 months I have completed and documented a complete IT audit at Horstman Defence Systems Limited, providing them with increased efficiency and legislation compliance. I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone at Horstman, who have all been a great support throughout the project.

A note on foreign keys in MySQL.

Defining a foreign key does nothing unless the tables are of InnoDB type, and not the default MyISAM type. Also if you have a table containing only foreign key(s) (i.e. no primary key), you must define the INDEX to be one of the foreign keys, for example:

    CREATE TABLE `Staff` (
       `UserID` int(11) NOT NULL,
       FOREIGN KEY (`UserID`) REFERENCES Users(`UserID`),
       INDEX (`UserID`)
    ) ENGINE INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

You may also receive the really annoying error

ERROR 1005: Can't create table 'example.frm' (errno: 150).

If you do, make sure all associated tables are of type InnoDB, and that you are not using foreign keys that are referenced to subsequent SQL code, for example, the above code will return this error if placed above the code that creates the table "Users". In other words, the table must exist!

Also, you can add ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT at the end of your foreign key statement to ensure parent entries can't be deleted if children exist.

NET09.co.uk is online, and was built in a few hours. Conforming to XHTML standards, it is the official website for the National Engineering and Technology Conference 2009. A CSS template was used for speed of implementation, thanks to freecsstemplates.org.

Big respect to Luke and the boys for a mental night out at Bedlam! Ready for Sub Focus and Culture Shock on the 14th...

Hope you've all had a great Christmas and have got fun events planned for new year celebrations... I have just created a YouTube account so I'll be uploading some cool videos to my mixes at some point in the new year... until then - HAPPY 2009! By the way, Bedlam 7th birthday early Feb @ Bristol O2 Acadamy... BRING ON THE VALVE SOUNDSYSTEM!

Another mix has been uploaded :-) Ignore the numbers, 5 and 6 got lost somewhere... Had a great night at SE1 last Friday, unusually not for DnB but for Psytrance! Had a brilliant rave with my sister, BIGUP to all the cool ravers we met!

Big up to Sash, Jo, Pipey and Kieren after a great rave at Motion, Bristol after all working at Second Bridge 'till 3am! Grooverider is back and on form and it was the first time I have seen Culture Shock - if you haven't checked them out, get on it (in more ways than one...!). That was all yesterday evening, it's now the next morning and I am back to nocturnal patterns, so what better way to pass the time than a good old mix of some sick drum & bass! YUTA004 is a short but sweet mix which has many new tunes, hope you likey!

I've just uploaded a drum & bass set for you to listen to and download. It's just under 40 minutes long and has got some pretty good tunes! The mixing itself is not bad, although there are a few hiccups due to the fact that it was done on my laptop, and not on decks. Please comment if you want, I'm taking requests... Enjoy! A Barcode Recordings set is also on the way, I recorded a run last night but was quite tired, so I decided to give it another go at some point this week...

I'm still not finding sufficient time to update my site... although not much has happened since Easter. Saying that though,I did secure my first job working in Bath's most popular nightclub, so if you're ever in town, pop into Second Bridge and say hi! I'm starting summer work sometime next week, so hopefully it'll be boring enough for me to knuckle down and add everything (my DnB sets, java programs, and proper site links to name a few). It's like Brian Griffin and his "novel"...

Have you ever listened to drum and bass? If so, have you ever listened to drum and bass on your computer? If so, you've probably felt like having a little rave in your room. No? Only me? Well then, a web page that turns your monitor into a strobe light would be of little use... or would it?

I am aware of the error message after you send a message through the from on the right - any tips to get rid of it will be greatly appreciated (and yes, there are no empty lines). I also don't like fact that the nice border rollover effects on the links don't work in IE >8-(

I have finally made the switch from tables to divs. I'm now implementing sites in XHTML strict complete with CSS - much awaited by many clients I'm sure. This site is under construction, and you can only obtain full functionality if you have JavaScript enabled. That will be changed very soon... Or not. I happen to like AJAX...
