BubblesSOC

Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 27-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.

MyQuilt Admin Security Issue

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 :beat:

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.

PHP Avatar Rotation Revisited

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.

Bubs’ Button Board 2.1

I just finished updating my plugboard plugin :spin:

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.

Excuse Me?!

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 :P

Same Site, New Home

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!

Free Smilies

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.

PHP Avatar Rotation

You can find an updated version of this script here.

Have you ever noticed on forums that some users’ avatars will be different each time the page reloads? I recently decided that I wanted to display multiple avatars on Snark, so I sat down and wrote this little script. (This method only works for forums that allow off-site avatars.)

Odd…

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 x_x
