A few weeks ago, when I had some bad times with WordPress spewing Errors 500 all the time, I decided that, if my site was going to be broken and unusable, at least I'd try to make it a bit less boring. So I made sort of "funny" custom error pages (see the 404 for example). Nothing uberhilarious nor super genius, but at least there's some humor and service in it. And you know what? Someone actually thanked me for it :) My pleasure, Becca.

According to Google's hot trends for today, keyword "iPhone" is used in more than 10% of all searches. How come then that nobody has some adwords on iPhone related searches, then? Is the keyword banned in AdWords ?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DEC, expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM (like here for instance) Seriously, what were PHP coders on, when they decided to implement this kind of error message?? For the record, it just means you're missing a :: somewhere.

This contact form uses a clock captcha, I thought it was a rather fun idea, and anyway a lot less annoying than those barely readable random strings so many sites use. Source code for this clock captcha can be found here (in German, but the PHP code is clean and easily understandable:)

I've just come across Le HibOO (phonetically "the owl" in French), an online magazine about music, movies, clubbing and everything related to going out. I usually spot within seconds if a given site uses WordPress, but this time if it wasn't for the little WP logo in the lower right corner, I would never have found out. I must say I'm pretty impressed with their layout and how they're featuring elements. Very very nice job.

My good ole friend Arma, busy lawyer during the day, has opened another blog and now writes about random things he likes on My Review. Bon Jovi's fans will like his preview of their upcoming album, Lost Highway.
