Saturday, February 14th, 2009Seven Things
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009As David and Lars tagged me, here are my 7 things:
- I learned PHP because I didn’t get on with Perl.
- The highest speed I ever reached with a car was 255 kph.
- I started playing Handball with the age of 10.
- In 1997 I studied Eletronics for one year.
- Last year I started to read the Bible and the Quran: I didn’t finished both because they’re so boring.
- I’m working on phpMyFAQ for almost 8 years now.
- I spent more time in Wellington or Sydney than in Berlin.
And here are the rules I’m supposed to pass on to the following bloggers:
- Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
- Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some weird.
- Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
- Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.
And as for chaining, in no particularly significant order:
- Jens Grochtdreis for helping with XHTML and CSS problems
- Pierre A. Joye for being my first colleague
- Stefan Esser for finding bugs in phpMyFAQ and PHP itself
- Isotopp for one of the best blogs
- Ulf Wendel
- Jo Brunner
- thegap

Proper use of the phpMyFAQ name.
Monday, January 19th, 2004This morning, I saw this link to the Adobe page. It is an extensive explanation how to use the term “Adobe? Photoshop? ” in a way that even their corporate ID pope will dance and cheer. After rethinking the whole thing, I decided that we should encourage people to do the same regarding phpMyFAQ:
