A List Apart Web Design Survey 2007
April 28, 2007, 9:08 pmThough I’m not a web design professional, I just took part at the A List Apart Web Design Survey 2007. We hope that making this data available will have a positive effect on best practices and employment, and will enhance public understanding of, and respect for, our profession. And therefore, I spread the word — [...]
Kaffeestöckchen
, 8:34 pmOnce again, a german post by way of exception… Kristof von dasblogt hat mir ein Stöckchen gereicht — es geht um die Gewohnheiten rund ums Kaffeetrinken. Dann also mal los: 1.) Deine erste Tasse Kaffee, wann trinkst du sie? Meistens um etwa 8:45 Uhr. Das ist nämlich die Zeit zwischen den ersten und zweiten Stunde in [...]
43 Folders: Some handy Mail.app Smart Mailboxes
April 24, 2007, 6:22 pmMerlin Mann from 43folders once again showed a new technique to enhance the way I work with my mac—without his posts I perhaps wouldn’t use Quicksilver until today, as many of my friends wouldn’t do as well. Quicksilver is a great time saver… Today I read a new post on Merlin’s blog—though I use Smart [...]
100 entries!
April 18, 2007, 11:41 pmThe first entry on this blog was published on December 30, 2005 and entitled Hello World. Back then I talked about building my own blogging tool respectively cms kind of thing. Well, there hasn’t happened too much in this direction, but at the moment I’m figuring out how to realise this with Ruby on Rails. [...]
Twitter via Quicksilver with Growl integration
April 13, 2007, 12:31 amAlthough I use Twitterific to receive twitter messages I don’t like to tweet with it. Why? Simple: There’s no simple way to get to it’s input field via the keyboard.

I read about this widget again and again but couldn’t believe that it’s useful. I didn’t think it could do more than I can do with shortcuts like [Cmd] + [Shift] + [3] (captures a fullscreen image [...]
300 piles of crap — I watched it, so you don’t have to
April 5, 2007, 11:56 pmWell, it’s rather about piles of Persians caused by 300 Spartans. But this movie is shit. I watched it today in the cinema—it’s real bullshit. Not only does it distort historical facts, it isn’t well crafted too. The picture is blurry almost all the time and watching this movie you won’t see a single frame [...]
Participating in the CSS Naked Day ’07
, 12:23 amThis year I’m participating in the CSS Naked Day—the idea behind it is to remove all CSS from your website, stripping it entirely of its design. The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. Plain and simple. This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a [...]
