Finally the new version of phdesign.com.au is live. Based on wordpress this site will hopefully be more active than it has been in the past. There are still areas to complete such as the portfolio section, but that shouldn’t be too far away. Now that I won’t be spending as much time on this site’s development perhaps I can focus more on phreplace, although I should spend some more time studying for my MCPD exams.


The documentation for phreplace which was included as a .chm file in version 2.0 is now available online. While viewing the documentation use the menu on the right hand side to navigate.

The docs include information on getting support, troubleshooting and version history.


I’ve finally decided to redevelop the phdesign website, and the first question that hits me is what is phdesign?

When I was younger and more ambitious I thought phdesign would quickly become a global web design company and by now I’d be reclining in a large leather chair, behind a strong hardwood desk in a high rise building with floor to ceiling windows, organising the next board meeting, just as soon as I could dedicate some time to doing more projects. 5 years have passed since I started phdesign and my portfolio has only seen a few websites built, mainly for family and friends, and an add-on to a freeware text editor.

My expectations have changed a lot and I hope to reflect that in the new website design. I am well suited to a steady income, working a normal week and being able to enjoy my spare time, not on the computer. I want phdesign to be my sandbox for working on projects for fun, not for money, and I want it to provide an opportunity to share what I learn.

I hope this site will provide value to developers like myself while giving me an outlet for my design and development as the mood takes me.
