There are a lot of password managers out there, and each has its own pros and cons for your own use. Many of these password managers operate on their own website in the ‘cloud’, encrypting the password to try to reduce the chances of hackers getting a hold of your password information.

Confusing Horror in Weymouth

The 2036 - 2037 season for Weymouth FC certainly did not go as expected. In fact, it went about as bad as it possibly could, which was a bit shocking if I'm being honest.

Welcome to Weymouth 2036

One of the amazing things about Football Manager and the sport itself is the incredible depth of history, weaving itself through the minds of endless people, sharing endless stories of their favourite (or worst) moments.

There is no better way to keep my thoughts organized then online, and in a list, so I'm going to post this here as my plan for the next 4 months of development for JezzJournal.

A New Wave Of Opinion

I find myself feeling indifferent to sites, no matter how good looking, that don't validate correctly, or are written in time consuming, bandwidth wasting HTML.

Dev Update

Press Restart.

I've gone ahead and imploded my upcoming design for JezzJournal, as it just had too many bugs within the code, so I started from the bottom up structural-wise.

Dev Update

Design Troubles.

First off, you may notice that in the design, there is a bit of a alignment problem, more specifically in the rightcontent div (blue background). For some reason, the code is popping the unordered list code about 10-20 pixels to the left.

Upgraded...

Just upgraded the WordPress back-end my site uses to .72 Gold, which was released yesterday. A lot of great new features, and it's very easy to update from b2 to WordPress.

Official Now?

I understand that if Valve wants to release a good product, they have to make sure it's a great game, and it will deliver what is expected of it. Let us not forget Warcraft III, which was delayed over a year and a half, but came out and became the best selling PC game of all time.

Still Have Hope For A Solid Release Date

I even went out and preordered Half-Life 2, regardless of Valve's last 'lost' project Team Fortress 2. I really hope they bring out that as a modification of Half-Life 2, or maybe a new Counter-Strike version.

Warcraft III Got Better?

When I first started to play [Warcraft III](http://www.blizzard.com/war3), I really believed the game could not be improved any further. There was nothing I could think of, that's would really add to the games enjoyablity (if that is even a word), but I have been proved wrong.

That Takes Care Of That

Since I became interested in the whole field of Web Development, I really don't feel I've gotten much better. I may have made better designs, but lately I feel I'm stuck. I'm stuck at the same level of understanding I've always been.
