So its been a traumatic week for GoT fans, not only has the current series come to a close but after surviving inordinately long in the somewhat dangerous world of thrones… someone dies!!! *shock*. Anyway – we kick off this weeks trove of tunes with a GoT inspired track from Newcastle band LISBON.
Friday Lunchtime Playlist
Friday’s here, and here’s a new playlist to get you through the rest of the afternoon.
Lunchtime Lounger
Recently I have been experimenting with Spotify things for a future project and figured it was about time I made a Spotify spin-off of Friday Lunchtime Playlist. Lunchtime lounger will be an evolving playlist, regularly updated with tracks I find on my web wanderings. Who knows, it may even double my listenership.
Friday Lunchtime Playlist
So I know, it’s Wednesday – definitely a while yet until Friday – but hey it’s early, don’t complain. Lots of popular indie tracks off of the Soundcloud chart this week, I confess it was ripped off there without much messing about. Enjoy.
Happy Hump Day
Well it maybe Wednesday, but it doesn’t mean you have to be miserable. It’s time for some uplifting pop music from Public (the band). Public (the band) are from Cincinnati, as it happens, the same city that gave rise to Woxy – the greatest radio station to ever broadcast (but sadly is no more). Check the band out on twitter, or facebook, or indeed soundcloud.
Simple IP Access Control
I just wrote this very simple IP access control script, and thought I would share it as it’s handy to put in front of sites you are working on but don’t really want others to see. It’s really not very sophisticated, that is intentional, it’s just designed to hide a work in progress site with something like a splash screen but allows people to grant themselves access to see the site in progress (if they know the required url to grant themselves access).
Friday Lunchtime Playlist
I though it was about time I resurrected the Friday Lunchtime Playlist. This week list is comprised of largely pop tracks, Leona Lewis is on there as is Tori Kelly. My favourite this week is probably Mainland by Cape Lion. From the Swedish capital Stockholm, Carl-Johan Sevedag and Martin Wiklund make some clever sounds.
PHP Enforce Errors
When debugging code I always want to force PHP to display all the errors, including any warnings so I can make sure my code isn’t doing anything unexpected. Its something I do so often that I should know the two lines of code off the top of my head. If I really thought about it I probably do but sadly Google + Copy / Paste is actually quicker than typing it out. So as much for my own benefit as anyone elses, here are the two lines of code I use over and over:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
