My work-in-progress blog-engine can be seen at github, it’s called blogotronic and of course, in wildlife mode, at blogotronic.brauchtman.net, a test spot. so please check there and notify me of any bugs. thank you.

Why filenames and folders matter. not.

Just read a satirical post in a german magazine, concerning the different kinds of file-sorting on desktop machines. Unfortunately, the article is unable to figure out the core evil, that is, the ultimate need to store everything in files and folders.
Honestly, try to remember the last time you tried to find a web page using, [...]

New blog project, busy doing the rest.

I jsut want to apologize for not being able to post regularly lately, and in the near future. I’m just very busy doing reports, taking care about my new blog project and some other projects running along. I will surely keep you up-to-date on those projects, not only because they involve great technologies, but also [...]

Stadt Reutlingen: Zickenkrieg in der Heimat

Nichts technisches heute, sorry. Aber nichtsdestotrotz sehr wichtig.
Leider bin ich nicht mehr live bei dem dabei, was so geschieht. Leider ist Reutlingen nicht mehr meine Heimatstadt, bzw. mein Lebensmittelpunkt. Das ist zwar in mancher hinsicht traurig, Stuttgart ist aber viel schöner. Und viel netter. Bisher.
Was Reutlingen ausmacht. Das haben mich schon viele Leute gefragt, und [...]

Hello World

I’m still here, ok? There is just a bunch of stuff keeping me from doing the rest of the stuff that would be keeping me busy under normal circumstances. To cite a friend of mine ( in not so perfect english, though ) : such is life.
After having annoyed with may day-to-day pains ( I [...]

Using a Dual-Display system efficiently.

Actually, two 24″ displays are really big, especially if they are placed next to each other and providing you with a screen width of roughly 3840 pixels. And, honestly, there is no use for it, except you are doing some serious stuff like programming, video editing or hardcore browsing on your machine.
But there is nothing [...]

Widely innovative German Start-Ups: where are you?

I’m like reading deutsche startups, a blog covering the first steps of upcoming german companies, everyday. And it’s like reading a newspaper in the morning: you just expect something exciting to happen. Nada. It’s just the regular suspects. I’m way to lazy to aggregate my readings into some stats, yet I estimate that at least [...]

Using ActiveResource in the wild

My last posts haven’t been quite technical, and they haven’t been quite recent too- I’m sorry, yet I just don’t have time. As a brief follow-up: it has been overwhelming in San Francisco ( except for the 300$-dentist bill ), and I’m so looking forward to coming back.
And, tada, I’ve been spending the last few [...]

Back from I/O, first review of HTC Magic, Google ION

Back from I/O, first review of HTC Magic, Google ION

after a long flight back and some sleep ( and some work ), I finally found the time to talk about the I/O and the handset the colorful guys gave to every developer.
