I'm a 17 year old student from Belfast, Northern Ireland and if I grow up I want to be a software developer :)
I’ve never been that keen on studying before an exam. I rarely study for more than a half hour, even for big final exams worth more than half my grade. When I do study, I usually just skim over the material and do a few practice questions. For some of my math classes I have yet to do a single practice question for homework. Most people study by cramming in as much information before walking into the test room, whereas I consider studying to be no more than a light stretch before running.
Counties SQL
All the counties in Northern Ireland, Ireland, Scotland, Englans and Wales SQL. I couldn’t find one online set out how I liked it so resorted to making my own. Feel free to use it in any way you wish :)

Sorry :)
I haven’t been posting here as regularly as I would like to been busy with stuff over the last few weeks.
Today was the first day where I have had nothing to do so thought it would be a great opportunity to fix Wixyy. The first thing I done was got rid of the bar. Now instead of loading the page inside the iframe it does a good ol’ redirect. There were several reasons for doing this the main reason being it was totally useless and the only reason it was really there was for the random URL thing.
I also worked on simplifying the backend code which make it a whole lot easier to tell what’s going on.
All is left to do on it before it goes live is to fix a small .htaccess problem and finish off the API. I’m building an API to allow developers to use Wixyy within their applications. Developers will be able to see how shortened URL’s are doing compared to each other by comparing views and things.
Another thing I’ve been working on is a Wordpress plugin that will display a shortened URL to the blog post on the post itself. I’m having problems doing this because I’m not too familiar with Wordpress but it works something like this..
<?php
$url='http://johnathanbarrett.me';
echo 'Shortened link to this post: '. file_get_contents('http://wixyy.be/thirdparty.php?url='.$url); //Shortened link to this post: http://wixyy.be/zc
?>
All you need to do is replace $url with the URL you want to be shortened such as the URL to the blog post. This will be easier to do once the API is released and I will be implementing some caching so it’s not having to go through the database each time.
Anyway, hopefully you’ll all have a better, faster and awesomer Wixyy to play with in the next few days.
Let me know if there’s anything you think should be added to the API by emailing me :)
It would seem Apple has lost its grasp on the world of Consumer Electronics. This is a market place where electronics manufacturers compete to provide the consumer with the best possible device for the task at hand. Apple used to do this with great result. Just look at the iPod for example. With…
It would seem several large editorials have published stories moaning about the price of applications on the iPad app store. This bitching must cease. People often forget the people publishing these stories are simply typical end users with a large audience for their poorly founded opinions.

I think your fees are reasonable and I do look forward to working with you if I sense the Lord wants me to proceed.
