WebCoder

Posted on August 12, 2003 by joachim

Beeing forced to use Windows at work (internship), I was looking for a nice PHP and HTML editing tool. Having tried out PHPEdit for 2 weeks, I was not conviced of that piece of software, although it looks promising.
Today, searching on download.com for a free HTML editor, I found an application named WebCoder. Wow, this is a kick-ass-application. It looks like Macromedia’s HomeSite, but it’s a lot better and free for personal use.

Plug and …

Posted on August 12, 2003 by joachim

I bought an USB flash drive yesterday. It worked perfectly with my iBook using Mac OS X 10.2.6 (what a great OS), I just plugged it in and the drive mounted without installing any driver.
Today at work, I had troubles getting the thing working on Windows 98 SE. After about 1 hour of endless re-booting and re-installing it finally appeared as drive ‘E:’. After having uploaded some files that were on the flash drive for my website, I realized half of the files were corrupted. Wow!

Yangtze River

Posted on August 5, 2003 by joachim

This is the kind of stuff you discover when surfing around your company’s website after a hard day of work:
After having heard so much about the Yangtze River in connection with some RDF examples during Prof. Bernstein‘s class “Dynamic & Distributed information Systems” last semester, I just thought I have to share this link to some pictures of the river itself, as well as of the “Three Gorges Dam”: ChinaÂ’s Three Gorges Dam. It’s the ultimate proof the river and the dam really exist :).

Productivity?

Posted on August 5, 2003 by joachim

Have you ever experienced this? You are sitting in your office room that has a surface of 10 square metres, there are 2 computers running (no, they have no quiet cooling system like Apple’s PowerMac G5), it’s about 37 degrees Celsius outside, about the same in the building and you are reading something that should be intresting (like the book I wrote about yesterday). In the end, you keep on reading the same page 4 times untill you realize, you could turn over the page :).

Nice Book

Posted on August 4, 2003 by joachim

At last I have discovered the book I was looking for since ages. It is called Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture written by Martin Fowler et al. If you were looking for a book on design patterns dealing with application-level design principles – this is it!

I’ll be back

Posted on August 3, 2003 by joachim

If you don’t know what to do on a hot summer evening, go to the nearest theatre and let T3 lift your mind you to a higher intellectual level :). I saw the movie last saturday and I must say it’s not that bad.
