Upcoming WordCamp Melbourne
I’m not usually one to go to Meetups or conferences around web design/development but I am excited to be attending WordCamp Melbourne next week. Since the start of this year Renegade Empire has been whole-heartedly embracing WordPress as our CMS of choice and we’ve been working to fine tune our processes to incorporate best practices and tools to build amazing websites. It will be great to see how our systems compare with those others are using and I look forward to learning more at WordCamp Melbourne! Unless they are offering... Read The Rest →
Hide Joomla menu items, content, modules from logged in users
This one comes up a lot and there wasn’t any built in way (that I knew of) to do this before Joomla 2.5. Now, it’s easy.

Get your client’s browser information with FindmebyIP
I stumbled across this web app from web development agancey Deep Blue Sky a few weeks ago and only had a chance to use it last week but I’m more than impressed. Get straight to it - http://fmbip.com Aside from the site’s slick interface and detailed statistics, fmbip let’s you create an account for free and send your client’s a custom URL to visit (such as findmebyip.com/username/your-tag) where this details information is obtained.

Red Bull Wreckers Yard Graffiti Comp – Melbourne
I’m a huge fan of graff and a huge fan of everything Red Bull is involved in, so when the Red Bull Wreckers Yard was on in Melbourne at 1000 Pound Bend I had my tourist quality digital camera ready and snapped up some flicks for those who missed it.

Google Chrome Extension wants access to all data on your computer
One of the latest extensions I’ve added to my web dev tools in Google Chrome is XML tree which is in the recommended extensions for web developers section of the Google Chrome extensions gallery. Today, it received an update from the author which, once updated, shows the dialogue box to the left, asking you to authorise access to “All data on your computer and the websites you visit”. The author says this about the permission increase: “In order to allow cross-origin XMLHttpRequests for the pulling back XML and XSL in... Read The Rest →
