New! Relaunch myself + updates!

Published April 10, 2007 in Journal. 7 Comments

Yeehaa! This site changed the style today – because I can. If something is not right aligned or behaves like a donkey I’ll say sorry. Maybe I gonna fix the bugs (or not).

  • New (static) text blurps. Better, shorter, straighter. Thanks to: jmi, cat and tania.
  • Sadly sorry: The static pages (About, Service, Showroom) and their subpages are now only in german until I’ll get someone who can translate the new text pieces. Ben? Are you listening? I can’t offer money BUT in exchange for a good translation I could offer some design work or help w/ blog setup or css/theme makeover. Or mac support. Or good music tips. Or a delicious dinner.
  • New pages like Kulturprogramm will give you updates what I read, listen to and watch on dvd or at the movies.
  • My Toolbox will be relaunched very soon. Same with the FAQs.
  • Starting over the Showroom (replaces the portfolio); more updates very soon.
  • Two little (secret) projects will be presented very soon. I’m still working on them so I have to shut up for now. But two words to keep you checking my site frequently: artist and writings.

Other updates:

  • Tomorrow starts the re:publica, a german conference about blogging, web-two-oh, open source and other nerdy stuff; I’ll be there.
  • It seems there will be no aKua theme for K2. Why? Well, no real progress on the K2 develepment front, still stuck before a final 1.0 version. But, someone did a really great theme. 100% mac-like, unbeatable, ajaxified, widgetized, drag’n’dropable, leading “i”: iTheme 1.0 by Nick La.
  • I’m still looking for someone w/ very good PHP, ajax and WordPress skills who is interested in developing one or more themes for WordPress w/ me.

My favorite web statistic tool — winner over google analytics and the performancing blog stats — takes a step forward: version number 2.0 is released today. I upgraded for $19. Maybe I update my installation this afternoon to see what really changed and what is improved or new.

aKua version 0.01betaI updated the status about the release of aKua. Some day it will be launched.

And if you’re a PHP and WordPress guru who is interested in building a team: let me know. Maybe there is a time for something new. Comments open. Ready to rock’n’roll.

There is fun in the world wide web. And some comic strips share the same subjects (more or less): nerds or geeks, IT specific humour and sometimes not so well to understand by not techIT-affine people. anyway: I’m laughing out loud (lol) and sometimes I’m laughing my ass of (lmao). It’s just a small overview and I’m more than sure that there must be more, out there in the open undiscovered space called internet.

Lets start with bLaugh:
Always use BCC

More simplistic, sometimes very hard to understand: xkcd:
Sandwich

And my newest discovery: Kopozky
Virtualworld

The Jack is back

All the good stuff goes intel. One of my favorite System Utilities/Tools is updated (finally). So I can use it on my (new) Intel iMac: AppleJack. Still a «Release Candidate» (1.4.3rc3) — but it works so far on my machine without a hitch. I’m happy again. Over and out. Back to work.

Textmate

Yesyesya! They — or better: he, Jan, pushed it to a new era. CSSEdit version 2! Better, cleaner, quicker, superbad. Load pages, extract css files and override excisting ones. If you know Xylescope or one of the multiple Firefox extensions you know what CSS Designer needs: visual styles sheet control: nested div plus padding, margin, whatever. You name it you get it. To much new stuff to write about. Check it out. Buy it. Be lucky.

I like ilike

Published November 6, 2006 in Journal. Closed

First I was happy with last.fm. It analyzes what I play via iTunes, makes musical suggestions, post my current playing song info to my blog (not working right now and I don’t know why. no time to check/fix it). anyway. the site/service itself is in my opinion not really a plus for me. no really new music for me. all of the suggestions I already knew and had mostly in my archive.

ilike

then there was light: iLike. early beta. web 2.0 (harhar). well, no API for putting the played tracks to a site (via rss or whatever), yet. maybe later? — but again: early beta (and if you take a look at the url not even a beta more a alpha). The best: musical suggestions to new music — more or less unknown artists — AND free (legal) downloadable mp3s. free. music. and the suggestions fit 90%. i like it. add the rss feature and I’ll love it.

UPDATE:My «What I’m listening to» is working again. Check it out, new music, unknown artists.

iTunes 7 cover art = jpeg

Published September 15, 2006 in Journal. 9 Comments

The new cover artwork system in iTunes 7 is a little unfriendly: the connection between each song and the corresponding cover is only via the iTunes DB. Don’t like it. But what I really hate is the fact that Apple tries to hide the image. Cryptic folders and cryptic file names. An example: "~/Music/iTunes/Album 20Artwork/Download/6CACBDC1950DC19F/00/01/12/6CACBDC19
50DC19F-8CA78A55DBF3DC10.itc"

Did a little inside file «hacking» and voila: the deep into the woods put away and mystified with a «unknown» file extension — “.itc” — is at least a kind of JPEG image. I opened some of them with GraphicConverter.
