Have you ever needed the absolute path of the shell script within this script? I do not mean the current working dir (pwd). That is different, because you do not know from which path the bash script is called.
In my case i needed the absolute path, because i wanted to call another script, which is by convention, in the same directory as the called script. In such a case you would use realpath in PHP – readlink is the bash equivalent to it.

After buying some cool new stuff from Thinkgeek my workroom looks like this now. Only the orignal super mario sound is missing. Maybe this will be done in the future.
Songbird is for the first stable release yet powerful.But do you miss an option or feature in Songbird. Take a look at the addons for songbird. I missed to minimize the player in the notification area of Gnome in Ubuntu 8.10 and i found an addon – Firetray for Songbird. Installed, Restarted, ready to minimize.
A few weeks ago Adobe announced to release new versions of the Flash player and Air simultaneously for the 3 major operating systems Linux, Mac and Windows.
Today Adobe released AIR for Linux in Version 1.5 to catch up with the others. So in future Linux Users of AIR do not have to wait for new version. I think this is just another step of Adobe in the Linux world. I hope they will release also other Software simultaneously for Linux in future. For example Photoshop or other foto related programs of Adobe.
The Upgrade to Wordpress 2.7 did not raise any errors and was straight forward. I just followed as usual this guide: http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress
This was the last upgrade i had to make, because of the new automatic upgrade system introduced in Wordpress 2.7. In Future an upgrade will only be a click away. Yay.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid you may get some error on sshfs mounted directories, when you tried to copy something on this places. This fix seems to be fixed in sshfs 2.1. If you need a fast fix on this install sshfs 2.1 manually from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/sshfs
Select the right Architecture and download the .deb file from one of the locations on the next site. You can open the deb file directly with GDebi Package Manager.

No, it is not April the first! According to a report by TechWorld, a student asked Steve Ballmer on a Developer Conference in Australia:
“Why is IE still relevant and why is it worth spending money on rendering engines when there are open source ones available that can respond to changes in Web standards faster?”
In his article he describrs how to test a Form Interface genereated with ExtJS. But the article is a very good introduction in Selenium and how to write such tests, regardless of the used JavaScript Library.
Today i found an interesting OpenSource Web Traffic Analysis Tool (GPL Licensed), which i think i will give a try on my Blog and i think it could be a real alternative to Google Analytics and also for Clicky for me. The aim of Piwik is clear:
piwik aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics.
For all of those who have not participated at the ZendCon (like me), there are some interesting links to the slides on DevZone. If you want to get a better “feeling” of the ZendCon there are some Photos on Flickr. Thank you guys for sharing all of those!
Yesterday Adobe released a new Version of their Flash Player – Version 10. For the first time they released it simultaneous for Linux, Mac and Windows. Adobe has not the best reputation in the Opensource World in the past but they want to change this. I think this is good thing.
