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 [...]
Have you heard the latest ideas of deeply concerned government representatives in France and Germany? Mastermind Sarkozy wants to raise a Google-Tax, German Secretary of Justice sees a urgent need to check if projects like Streetview conform with german law. While these thoughts are not a week old, the fight aainst Google Books is still [...]
So, on this very exceptionally snowy day here in Stuttgart, i decided to procrastinate a bit and do some fun stuff. Because going outside would have been at least life-threatening, I decided that the most exciting adventure would be to clean the kitchen take a panorama image out of my 3 living room windows. Here [...]
Hey! I haven’t been writing here in a while, so let’s have some updates.
First of all, I noticed something Techcrunch was also writing about some time ago, that google doesn’t protect embedded images in private documents in _any_ way. So basically, everything you upload there can be treated as public.
Next thing, latex, the typesetting system, [...]
Damn, not talking about the standard-php-mysql stuff, but about new things, innovative applications and so on.
The common cliche is that most things have been developed, so there is not much left to do but reinvent. That is wrong. When google hit the search engine market, everybody was convinced that they would fail, the market was [...]
Good day. I need to distract myself from trying to reanimate a Windows-PC. Quite frustrating and pretty unsuccessful so far, but let’s see. Why a certification of the abilities of a web-developer? Well, there are plenty of good reasons. Let’s get into them.
First of all, everyone doing something seriously should be able to get a [...]
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: [...]
Good morning, folks! Now I’m back in germany, still busy getting used to all this luxury again, including my Ubuntu-desktop. I also have Windows installed, but for some reason i prefer Ubuntu. Anyway, I’m really missing a real, free and usable Photoshop replacement here. For me, GIMP is just a nice little tool enabling one [...]
Everyone is used to Google’s AdSense system offering relevant ads instead of providing static banners. This system not only affects the acceptance of advertising on blogs, but also enhances the user experience. Being able to access relevant products or content by one click is certainly a much more attractive and modern way of offering ads. [...]
Neither is Basic! Really, normally I’m trying to be objective, but I just can’t when it comes to PHP. I’ve done a lot of stuff in PHP over the years ( yes, including a CMS, Portal, Guestbook and Gallery ) but as far as I can tell this language meets every requirement to be disqualified [...]
