Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 25-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.
So the best television series ever returned for its fifth season tonight. Too bad my DVR decided not to record the first hour 
I was, however, able to watch the second half. Will and I discussed the episode’s events through text messages:
Will: Oh my god!!!!
Will: Are you watching?!?
Will: Best show ever
Me: Ben! What is he about to do?
Will: I have no clue
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
Tonight was the most time I’ve spent online in weeks. I figured I owed my readers an update. School, reading, and writing consume my free time. I do, however, manage to visit Facebook and update Twitter regularly 
Two somewhat newsworthy items are all I have to share.
Have you decided what you want to be?
Hannah pointed out a potential security issue in the latest version of MyQuilt Admin (3.0.2). I’ve updated the download and posted a fix for your installation. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me
I hope to update MyQuilt Admin sometime soon, so feel free to add to the wishlist. Tags, and possibly pages (like Wordpress), will be included in the upcoming version.
A few of my readers emailed me requesting an image extension rather than a .php extension for my PHP Avatar Rotation since some forums require a valid image extension. This can be accomplished if your server has mod_rewrite enabled. I’ve also updated my previous example so that animated .gifs are no longer displayed as static images.
I just finished updating my plugboard plugin 
In version 2.1, you can choose to receive an email notification when a new plug is added to the board. I also added an option to edit an existing button through your WP admin panel. This version was successfully tested in WP 2.5 and 2.6. If you are using an earlier version of Wordpress, older versions of this plugin can be found here.
I’m still recovering from the removal of 2 wisdom teeth and nose, sinus, chin and jaw surgery, which I had last Thursday (December 6). Please forgive my absence from the net for the next week or two. The aftermath is a lot more painful than I expected. I can’t eat anything but soup and ice cream, so I’m starving to death. I’d give anything for a McDonald’s cheeseburger right now 
BubblesSOC was featured in Smashing Magazine’s 45 Excellent Blog Designs (Thanks Meggan for the heads up!)
Once again, I’m sorry I haven’t returned comments, responded to email, or visited dailies! (View the previous post for my lame excuse 
) I’ve had a rough couple of weeks, so I appreciate everyone’s support Jays — I’m working on your design tonight! It was pushed aside in the confusion of the past month, but now it’s my number one priority 
If you have tried using Bubs’ Button Board 1.0 and continually receive the error Your button is broken, then you need to install version 1.1. If you are currently running version 1.0, there’s no need to upgrade unless you want.
Version 1.1 uses cURL instead of relying on PHP’s allow_url_fopen. Some hosts, such as DreamHost, disable allow_url_fopen.
Bees — just in case you didn’t get my email, here it is:
You’re receiving this email because we traded patches at the Quilting Bee. I’ve decided to make a new quilt since my current one is full of holes I don’t have time to prune the retired bees.
If you’re still a member, please trade with me again! If not, just ignore this email
