pixelDepth SEO

If anyone remembers a couple of months ago, I mentioned that pixelDepth was going to be more search engine friendly to hopefully increase it’s position in the search results.

Today, I have had a look on Googlem, putting in a few keywords to see where I came. Am please to find that the SEO I done has made an improvement. I’m not at the top of the search results, and don’t expect I will ever be, but to get onto the first page is cool.

Mail Server

Because most of my programming is done offline PHP’s mail() function doesn’t work, and I’ve never been bothered to setup anything to make it work until now.

Have a look at this…

It’s so simple and easy to do. I used Thunderbird instead of Outlook, and it works fine.

Now all your activation / signup emails can be tested offline.

Coding, 3D, Busy, Blah Blah

Been a while since I last posted, just been so busy and haven’t really had that much to talk about to be honest.

Been rather busy the last month, been working on a project with someone which is 99% finished, I look forward to releasing it soon. It’s not PHP related.

Haven’t worked with PHP-GTK in the last month, I’m holding myself back from creating any big applications with it until there is a good compiler to help distribute the applications without the user requiring to download all the necessary files. There is one in development, but there hasn’t been much news posted about it, so am not sure if it’s a dead project.

I’ve recently been getting back into 3D modelling. Before I became a programmer, I used to play around modelling stuff in Wings 3D and 3DS Max, and I really enjoyed it, even though I was not very good at all, and am still not :P.

Here is what I created, it’s not great at all, but it was fun.

Not sure what I will model next, any ideas?
