Off to Australia (once again…)

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Tomorrow I’ll leave Germany for my holiday trip to Singapore, Sydney and Tasmania where I will go hiking on the Overland Track. So don’t expect any new commits or releases on phpMyFAQ for the next 3 weeks. Jason and Jochen will keep an eye on the forums.

Updated to WordPress 3.2

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

Today I finally upgraded the phpMyFAQ DevBlog to WordPress 3.2 and from an old MySQL 4.1 database to MySQL 5.1. This blog is running since january 2004 now and all updates from WordPress went smooth. This is quite cool.

Off to Cuba

Happy new year 2011!

Friday, December 31st, 2010

Today is the last day of 2010 and I’m looking back to the last 12 months. phpMyFAQ saw about 14 releases including the major 2.6.0 release back in mid january. Since then we improved the whole code base of phpMyFAQ and we’re working hard on the 2.7 release which should see an alpha release the next weeks. I work on organizing a party for the 10th birthday of phpMyFAQ in february, too. Let’s start with the second decade of phpMyAQ! :-)

Comparison of knowledge base management software

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Yesterday I found a quite interesting link in the English Wikipedia: Comparison of knowledge base management software. Looks like phpMyFAQ’s feature set is capable of competing. :-)

On the road again…

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Tomorrow I will leave Germany for 4 weeks to spend my vacations in Australia. I’ll do a roadtrip from Sydney to Melbourne together with my girlfriend. Will be fun! :-)

So don’t expect any releases or support until April 2nd.

We have another team member: Antoliy Belsky. Anatoliy is working in the same company like me and he already contributed some hundred lines of code and features for 2.5 and 2.6 during the last month so I asked him to join and I’m really happy that he said yes. :-)

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Yesterday 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, 2009

Today 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! :-)
