If you want to tweet any of your blog posts to your twitter account the Twitter Tools Plugin for WordPress is what you need.

For now on, i am going to publish new blog entrys to my twitter account.

My continuous research about how to create real native desktop applications brought me to this solutions which are available today:

OMG. Thats what i thought when upgrading to WordPress 3.0 – with a single click. Without any problems. It took about 1 Minute. And voilá – Here is WordPress 3.0 on my Blog. Great. Keep up your good work WordPress Team. Thank you for the greatest Blogging Software.

RaphaelJS, JQTouch, Connect and ExtJS are joining forces and therefore ExtJS (the Company) renamed their name to Sencha. ExtJS (their JavaScript Library) gets not unchanged. I think there will be much much more cool news regarding Sencha in the future.

Because i wanted to play around a little bit with Titanium i have created the ExtJS API Doc as a Desktop Application. There was a version available for Adobe AIR some time ago – now it is available again, but made with Titanium not with Adobe AIR. I plan to update the App with a [...]

After upgrading my Browser on Ubuntu 9.04 to Firefox 3.5 Shiretoko i couldn’t watch Flash Videos in Fullscreen resolution.

You can safely empty some directory`s in Gentoo. But as always – first make sure if my suggestions are OK for YOU too! # As superuser gentoo ~ # emerge –sync gentoo ~ # emerge -av gentoolkit gentoo ~ # emerge -av –newuse –deep –update world gentoo ~ # emerge -av –depclean gentoo ~ # [...]

Recently on the TYPO3-5 Mailing-List Eike Starkmann wrote about his master thesis project called Saros: “Saros is an Eclipse plugin for collaborative text editing and distributed pair programming, i.e. it allows two or more developers to work together in real-time on the same files. It is similar to Gobby, SubEthaEdit or Google Docs but focuses [...]

I have just updated my Blog a bit. Actually i updated just some CSS but i hope it has more contrast now.

You may know the CSS declarations text-align and vertical-align. Perhaps you tried alredy to vertically align inline span elements within a div block element but did not succeed yet. I will try explain how to achieve this with a simple button example. Before: After:

Many of you may already know this sites. But one more link can not be that bad. If you are searching for a list of CSS Attributes and their compatibility in the major browsers with examples, demos, hacks or workarounds to get it working Cross Browser wide take a look at http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html and http://de.selfhtml.org/navigation/syntax.htm#css (only [...]

Do you ever wanted to know which features of HTML5, SVG or CSS3 are implemented in which browsers, or when they are going to implemenet it? Thats what you can see in the compatibility tables on “When can i use” .

Mozilla released a new Labs project which shows what can be done with HTML5. It uses only Web Technologys – No Flash. I write this because it might look like Flash in the video. Bespin is not another richt text editor. It is a fully integrated development environment usable right in your browser. Like the [...]

“Is this real life?”, “I can’t see anything…”, “I feel funny….” –> So funny!

Designing Web Interfaces Book – O’Reilly Webcast View more presentations from Bill Scott. (tags: rich ajax) There is also a Web Site about the new book: http://designingwebinterfaces.com with a little comparison of the essential controls needed in an web application and which JS Librarys have implemented it so far and how.

I made some changes to my picture gallery. There is also new folder ‘Hardware‘. Within this folder there are all pictures of my previous blog posts about new hardware. This is: Lenovo Thinkpad T61P Notebook with Advanced Mini Dock Jabra BT620s Bluetooth A2DP Stereo Headset Logitech Illuminated Keyboard If you have made any High Quality [...]

Yay. First!!

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.

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.

I found a really nice tool on our corporate blog. Wordle . To describe best what worlde does with Webpages – take a look at this picture:

Interesting new multi functional device: Pome Granate Phone Some Features: E-Mail Digital Camera Internet GPS Projector Coffee Brewer etc. Take a look at this nice viral video at: http://www.pomegranatephone.com/

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.

I just found an interesting Google Analytics Alternative for Traffic Analysis. I think i will give it a try. It looks good. http://getclicky.com/

Google Chromes JavaScript Engine V8 is fast. But how do it compare to the Firefox JavaScript Engine Tracemonkey. Read the whole detailed  Benchmark at Brendans Blog Post.

Google now confirmed that they are working on their own browser, called Google Chrome based on Webkit That wasn’t really new, because an employee sent “accidentally” an email with an internal comic of the new google browser to a blogger. The official statement on this was posted on the official google blog.

After a long time i upgraded WordPress to version 2.6.1 and also changed my old Illacrimo Theme to a new DesignDesease Theme: Fervens-c. I will modify it in the future to have the same features i had in my old modified illacrimo theme. I will also try to write more in the future. In the [...]

Zwar schon etwas älter, aber weil ichs heute wieder auf ajaxian geshen hab:

Auch wenn es vielleicht so klingt, aber NEIN diese Firefox Extension ist kein verspäteter 1er April Scherz. Die Firefox Extension schneided alle “Binnen-Is” vom Wortende weg. Das erleichtert das Online Zeitunglesen ungemein. So wird aus unkonsequent geschriebenen Text endlich ein Text ohne “Binnen-I”: Was ist mit SchädlingenInnen, TrojanerInnen, …? Auch das kann weiblich sein!!!! Hier [...]

Der Titel sagt eh schon alles.

Am Montag, 14.04.2008, war die WKO (Wirtschaftskammer Österreich) Angriff eines gezielten Angriffs. Dabei wurde eine Lücke in der Homepage ausgenutzt die es ermöglichte in einem Request SQL Statements so umzuschreiben, um letztendlich den HTML Code der Website so zu verändern, um Besucher der Website auf einen anderen Server weiterzuleiten der wiederum Schadsoftware auf den Rechnern [...]

Kaum vorzustellen wie viel Kohle das gesamte Büro wohl gekostet haben muss.

Auch wenn die Musik sehr Techno lastig ist – trotzdem die beste Lightshow die ich jemals gesehen hab. Leider nur auf youtube und nicht live.

Heute habe ich meinen Blog auf die neue WordPress Version 2.5 aktualisiert.

Die deutsprachige “PHP-Szene” ist ja insgesamt recht groß. Schaut man sich aber die Herkunft an so sind die meisten aus Deutschland oder der Schweiz. Wo sind aber Österreichs PHP / Web Entwickler? Mir kommt es so vor das es nur verhältnismäßig wenige davon gibt. Oder verstecken wir uns alle zu gut? Ich mache hier mal [...]

Alle Tabellen löschen Will man alle Tabellen einer Datenbank löschen so gibt es dafür keine native SQL Anweisung wie TRUNCATE DATABASE oder so. Man kann sich mit einem one-liner behelfen: 1 mysqldump -u[USERNAME] -p[PASSWORD] –add-drop-table –no-data [DATABASE] | grep ^DROP | mysql -u[USERNAME] -p[PASSWORD] [DATABASE] Mittels mysqldump wird die Datenbank ohne Daten und mit der [...]
