Firefox 3 is poo
I'm not that impressed with Firefox 3. Firstly, it seemed to use a version of my bookmarks from about a year ago, and it refused to import my bookmarks.html file from Firefox 2. So I had to manually update the bookmarks which was a pain. Secondly, I have a custom skin on my FF, which FF3 made completely screwy so I had to get rid of it. Thirdly, it made this site look crap. I have now fixed it; but I found it odd that it mucked it up since Opera (with its apparent perfect rendering of CSS) seems to think my site looked fine. And finally, it sometimes freezes for about 5 seconds whilst in the middle of typing an email (or this) and then is fine again. Weirdness.
Anyway, good news is I got a first for this year despite getting a D in Computer Security. I got 7 A's, 2 B's, 1 C and 1 D. The C is annoying as it was for Communications; which if they had included the coursework I did I would have got an A for it. Apparently my appeal is not over yet...so I might get 8 A's eventually!

Beta calendar up
I have made a Beta calendar! It works fine in firefox in Windows, and looks hideous in IE7. That should just be a case of a new CSS file. However, the javascript & CSS pop-ups don't work in Opera, and I have little experience of the browser so not sure what to do about that. Quite proud of this; I wrote it all myself :)
Also, made an RSS feed! At the moment this site has no back-end, so I have to update it manually; just as I'm typing this directly into the SQL database ha!

User info
I had added a users page so you can view the users of the site, and if you click on someone's icon in a comment you go to their user page. Also, you can now add a website and a few lines about yourself in your profile page.
For some reason, the code I have which I stole off the Interwebs for calculating age gets it wrong by one year (i.e. I am 21 apparently). I don't see the mistake, anyone care to fix it??
function get_age($birthday){
list($year,$month,$day) = explode("-",$birthday);
$year_diff = date("Y") - $year;
$month_diff = date("m") - $month;
$day_diff = date("d") - $day;
if ($day_diff < 0 || $month_diff < 0)
$year_diff--;
return $year_diff;
}
