Flattr is exactly what I dreamed of when I wrote my post about the donation-button-dilemma on open-source projects. Flattr, by the creators of the pirate bay, is a service that let’s you specify an amount you want to spend monthly, I don’t know what they plan, but let’s say 10€, and you can flattr any [...]
A buddy of mine made a great script allowing you to instantly rotate your netbooks screen 90°, which enables you to read PDFs more comfortable. You should definitely have a look at it, as its a nice addition to any ubuntu-powered netbook.

La Fonera 2n – Hands on, darling
Since saturday, I’m sick lying in bed and keep trying not to annoy my girlfriend too much ( well, not that successfully i suppose ). Anyhow, I ordered a Fonera 2n last week, and it happened to arrive today. So after some unboxing ( UPS packaging materials can be [...]
Honestly, I don’t know. But from what I can tell, the ones solving problems people have, even if they were not aware before, are the ones working. The other ideas usually don’t. What are problems worth solving?
I’d define a problem worth solving as something that has 3 attributes: It is persistent, in a sense that [...]

Why. In my current position, I am building a set of applications ( most of them rails based ) communicating with each other [...]
After 1 year of heavy usage my Tripod Earplugs finally died, just as my MacBook. The difference is that I just went to the Bose retail store today, showed my damaged ones, and without a further question they just gave me a new box. Rocks.
Hello, today I continue my list of ideas which would make the Web and Computers in General way more easier and safer to use. Although it won’t change anything, I just want to make you think about it and let me know your opinion.
I’m still a bit frustrated that there is nothing like a general [...]
Finally, I found the time to install Piwik, an open-source Google Analytics lookalike. I’ve chosen to maintain a solution besides analyzing server stats to track traffic. Why? By using a snippet that executes some code, it is ensured that most spiders are simply not counted, careless of how well they are disguised.
Back to Piwik: [...]
I spent a fair part of my past life not understanding character encodings in its entirety. While this was totally unimportant in past times, when e.g. a dataformat or file was written or created by the same program reading it, most likely not crossing country or language borders, nowadays it is. Very. So what is [...]
