About a few months ago I invested in a laptop, and now a days many people has some form of laptop, it could be a work laptop which is given to you in your job or your own personal laptop which you at home and around the house. I purchased a second hand laptop a few months ago, but not for either reasons I listed above, you see I had managed to get a legal copy of Windows Vista Ultimate from a website that is a Microsoft product reseller and sells software to students but at really low prices
In part one we setup a Apache server and configured the localhost ready for you to use, we also set up the directory where you are going to save your local files. But so far in part one we only essentially setup the localhost, so all of the goodness of being able to view server side documents/script etc won't work yet as you will need to install them, one of the most popular if not the popular server side code is PHP. It is used mostly to create dynamic webpages, but the great thing about PHP is that can be used combined with XHTML, CSS, Javascript etc, with PHP there are many functions and arrays that can expand what a simple plain XHTML document can do. Anyway lets install PHP!
On this wonderful snowy day Mr an Mrs Snowman say hello to all the James' Blog readers! The snow has stopped now but apparently more is on the way! Yeah I got bored and decided to relive the childhood I once had. Hey in the UK snow like this doesn't appear much so why the hell not. I did get some random passers by looking at me with funny looks and even got some chavs walking past throwing snowballs at me. But hey it was fun.
England this week has been subjected to the most snow we've ever had in years! Every resident in the UK woke up monday morning with a blanket of snow covering everything. On Tuesday the snow combined with ice closed over 100 schools in Nottingham and caused major roads to be closed due to them being too dangerous (Some 13% gradient sloped roads) and now thinking that the snow has melted away, but it has returned today! There is 2cm - 5cm snow on the ground across parts of the UK. In Nottingham alone over 250 schools are closed, the roads are really bad and traffic is heavy.
Since it's been snowing in Nottingham today and I've come down with a cold, I've been staying indoors, Although during College, all of us have been playing in the snow (Don't judge, we're all still young at heart!) but I've been playing around with the rounded corners effect in CSS3, now in my article Getting ready for CSS3 I listed a few major additions that CSS3 will bring to the web, I mentioned Shadows, multiple backgrounds and some more, but another great addition in CSS3 will be rounded corners, and fortunately there is support for rounded corners, so I thought I'd prepare a little information/tutorial on rounded corners in CSS3!
