Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 26-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.
I woke up this morning to find the following email (after the cut) waiting for me. I’d stumbled upon MyDesignAward in the past, but never bothered submitting my site. Since I was invited, I thought why not give it a shot? After submitting I realized that the email was probably some sort of advertising scheme 
For the past 2 or 3 months BubblesSOC has been experiencing frequent downtime. It seemed as though I was contacting my host about it everyday. Sure, my site would be back for a moment, but within the following hours it’d be down again. Even after moving to a different server I was still having problems. Next thing I know, one of my sites was the source of the problems!
Sorry about the recent downtime. I requested to be moved to a different server due to all the problems I’ve had lately. Hopefully this move will clear up the issues.
I decided to offer my smilies for download again, if anyone is interested.
In my previous entry (now deleted) I posted my Xbox Gamercard. Today, I noticed that it wasn’t showing up. I checked the source and found this spam lurking:
<style> .bll { position:absolute; left:-1700px; } </style>
<p class="bll"> <a href="http://forum.freeboards.net/index.php?mforum=buylevitraon">buy levitra online</a></p>
I didn’t put it there… Can spam edit WP entries now? Scary 
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 
So sorry I haven’t posted to my blog or visited my dailies! Besides class, I’ve been busy helping Jem and the other programmer bees renovate the Qbee. We hope to reveal the new site by this weekend 
The new ‘bee has a lot of new fun features, plus a new design by Arien! I can’t wait until the site goes live.
I’ve started to work on myQuilt Admin 3.0 again 
I really want to finish it before I start school on July 10. I also hope to release my button exchange script and birthday list plugin to the public sometime.
Do you have any suggestions for scripts?
I’ve decided to release my first WP plugin to the public 
It’s a customizable plugboard for your WordPress blog. You can see it in action here at BubblesSOC. BBB features button moderation and cache… I wouldn’t want an ugly broken image to mess up your nice layout 
Of course both of these features are optional.
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
My personal web to-do list:
Bees — Let me know your suggestions for the new version. You can find the current suggestions at the BBS
