Miscellaneous ramblings of a web developer called David Parkinson. I work full time as a web developer but have interests in other things.
Earlier this week I listed Talk Playstation on Flippa, the site for buying and selling websites. Where am I up to with this? Well basically the site is currently standing in at $800, but this is sure to rise in the last few days. It ends in 4 days.
I’ve had some private offers of $3000 and currently negotiating an offer of $3800. To be honest, I’m not really that fussed on how much the website... 
Over the weekend I decided to put Talk Playstation.com up for sale purely for the fact that I and the authors don’t have time to keep it up to date. As you can see it gets around 2 new posts per day, which isn’t bad, but could be alot better. I’ve listed the site on flippa.com, you can view the listing here.
It’s gaining quite alot of interest, I’ve had a few private offers,... 
Over the past couple of months I’ve been developing a content management system to give myself something to aim for and achieve. What I do with the system is unknown, maybe I’ll start using it at work.
Anyway, I’ve been posting some stuff on here that I may find userful for other developers, whether they know how or not. I wanted to do some alternative row colour for some table results...

What did I do? Because I’m so in love with Apple’s device I decided to order an iPhone 3GS 16GB, I might as well of ordered the top... 
Christmas has been and gone and I had a great one! Spent alot of time with my family, played alot of Playstation 3 games, drank alot of alcohol and just had fun.
It all started off on Xmas eve when I went out on a night out in town, great night but to my shock horror I had lost my iPhone! I was like noooooooooooo. It’s the first gadget I’ve ever lost ever! £400 down the drain and I have to buy... 
WordPress 2.9 was released a week or so ago but I didn’t really have the time upgrade this and Talk Playstation. Well I can I’ve successfully upgraded to 2.9 on this blog and will do Talk Playstation next week.
Here are some of the features:
Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash).... 
Well, not according to my own estimations. I’ve always wanted to know how much I could sell Talk Playstation for (not that I want to) to see how much I could potentially get for it.
I’ve been looking at a number of ‘we give an estimate on your site’ websites and a few have come back with some legit looking results and others have come back with some unrealistic results. I got an...
