Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009Yesterday I received my copy of Snow Leopard, the new version of Apples operating system. I installed it on my MacBook Pro and my iMac. It’s really faster than Leopard (10.5), but sadly I had to recompile my whole MacPorts installation…

Airport Extreme rocks!
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009Today I visited the Apple Store in Munich and bought an Airport Extreme kit. At home I connected the base station with power and plugged the audio cable into my A/D receiver… then I went to my iMac and started the Airtunes configuration… this took about a minute and I activated the WPA2 encryption. After another minute for a restart of the Airport Express I could listen to my MP3s in my living room. Very cool and it really works like charm!

8 years phpMyFAQ
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009I almost forgot it… The phpMyFAQ projects celebrates its 8th birthday this month. Back in 2001 I started with Bastian Poettner with the first PHP 3 based lines of code. Happy birthday, phpMyFAQ!
iWork ‘09
Sunday, February 15th, 2009Yesterday I received my copy of Apple’s iWork ‘09. As you might know I switched from Windows XP to an Apple iMac last June and I’m still happy with this decision. Since the last months I used OpenOffice.org 3.0 on the Mac and it’s a little bit frustrating. The free office application is really feature rich but almost unusable on the Mac because it’s so incredibly slow – even with 4 GB’s of memory. Now I got iWork ‘09 and it’s much faster and really nice. It has less features than OOo but what you get is cool and fits for most of my office work. But I will use both in the future.

Seven 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
