New flickr feed!
I’ve finally got round to having a dedicated flickr feed for the bigredradish site, rather than random pictures of my cat Archie. If anyone however, should be missing the photos of Archie, they are still available.

Tweaking Dagon Design Secure PHP Form Mailer Script
I use the Secure PHP Form Mailer plugin from Dagon Design for my contact form - I like it because it is simple, it allows you to set up a contact from easily, but also lets you create more complex forms if needed. My only gripe with it is that some of the HTML code it generates is not as standards compliant or semantically structured as it could be, time to get my hands dirty.
Before I go any further I have to make it clear that I am no PHP expert, in fact I hardly know any PHP - I’m learning but for now I’m just stubborn and persistent.
Here’s how I have tweaked the code. ’more…’

New look for bigredradish - coming soon!
Well, it’s been a long time since I last posted anything , but there has been a lot going on in the background!
The first change is this little fellow - Huw, born in October last year and it is amazing how something so small can take up so much of your spare time.
The second change is the upcoming makeover for the site. It has been a while in the making but I have been taking time to get things just right. ’more…’

Maybe it’s iTunes and RAID?
I’ve just done a bit of searching around and it may be my RAID array causing the conflict with iTunes/Quicktime on my Vista machine. A report at Tweaktown.com suggests that playing a QuickTime file on a Vista machine with a RAID array of SATA disks may cause a problem that makes it seem as if a drive is failing. ’more…’

iTunes and Vista still not playing together!
The relationship between iTunes and Vista is still a fragile one! After eagerly downloading iTunes version 7.2 (which now appears to be officially Vista compatible), I waited in anticipation to see whether I could finally watch a video podcast and - No! It would seem that apple still haven’t figured out how to get iTunes/Quicktime to play mp4 files from the hard disk that iTunes is installed on, so for now I guess I’ll have to carry on with the quirky process of copying all my mp4 files to external hard drive to be able to watch them. At least it seems as though I can batch process addition of artwork on to mp3s now - with a little bit of patience.

I’ve had it with IE - time to “Browse Happy”
I know IE7 is a lot better than its predecessors but there still seems to be the need for little hacks or workarounds to get IE to play nice! So if you are getting tired of IE’s little quirks then join the bigredradish and Browse Happy!
