    • The work on my move from WordPress to Drupal is proceeding quite well. I think I have now most of the modules I need to first of all more or less clone the current zerokspot with Drupal. The convertor already imports users, posts and comments. Next on my list are trackbacks/pingbacks and custom fields that will be imported as custom node types.

  • NewsFire's sidebar look in NetNewsWire

    Posted on July 12, 2006 at 20:35 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    A small hint for those of you out there, that are using NetNewsWire but actually like NewsFire's way of clustering "special subscriptions" like those based on filters, flagged items etc. on top of the subscriptions sidebar.

  • Charmed DVD releases messed up

    Posted on July 8, 2006 at 04:06 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    Ok, I think this is the moment when I have to say: "I don't understand the world anymore." Today I wanted to see, what season of the Charmed TV-show are

  • Nintendo DS lite

    Posted on June 30, 2006 at 00:32 +0200 Tagged with

    Last monday I bought the new DSlite (in black) as a replacement for my not all that old Nintendo DS. I decided to do that primary because of the new screen which I hoped would make playing dark games like Metroid Prime: Hunters easier.

    So here a small review after the first day with my new DS lite :)

    • Really great screen. Much brighter than the old one and also the contrast looks better now.
    • Good thing, that the status LEDs are now actually on a place where you can see them.
    • It still takes some time getting used to the new position of the stylus (now on the right) and also that it still takes some force to get it out of the DS.
    • Somehow the dpad feels different. Esp. the diagonal directions are quite hard but this might be just a problem between me and ACWW since I don't have this problem for example with "New Super Mario Bros."
    • Why had Nintendo to invent yet another power adaptor?!

  • Sometimes expire fields in cookies just suck

    Posted on June 11, 2006 at 00:30 +0200 Tagged with , , ,

    If you can read this, I just made my first blog post using my little commandline tool for blogging ;) But I can tell you, writing this was just a pain. Ok, not at first where I could rely on normal XMLRPC APIs like the metaWeblog API. But then I wanted to create new categories on the fly and this is exactly what none of the available APIs for WordPress seems to be able to do. The quite obvious solution for this is simply do a POST call on the wp-login.php to receive the cookies for an admin and then continue with creating categories this way.

  • Adding fonts to OpenOffice.org 2.0 on MacOSX

    Posted on June 7, 2006 at 23:03 +0200 Tagged with , , , ,

    You would love to use OpenOffice2.0 but the native NeoOffice is too slow and the X11 app has too ugly fonts for your taste? Well, at least for the latter there is a small workaround :) All that is needed are some additional TTFs. Since OpenOffice.org 2.0.app uses the same foundations as the Linux versions, more or less the same tricks also apply on MacOSX.

  • Nick+Viva in Telekabel

    Posted on June 6, 2006 at 03:36 +0200 Tagged with , , ,

    Langsam aber sicher wird Telekabel in ߖsterreich wohl zum reinen Kinder-TV umgemodelt. Bisher gab es da 2 Sender für die lieben Kleinen: SuperRTL und KiKa. Vor ein paar Tagen nun wurde auch die Frequenz des (ehem.) Musiksenders zweigeteilt (wie vor einigen Jahren NBC) und es gibt nun die altersgerechte Aufteilung: Nick bis 20:15 Uhr, Jugendliche (oder besser gesagt die Gruppe von Menschen, die es sich antun wollen) VIVA. Gehört zwar eh alles dem selben Haufen, aber was soll's.

  • XML-RPC for Textpattern

    Posted on June 5, 2006 at 05:32 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    Good things can take some time. Now Textpattern also has an XML-RPC interface implementing the BloggerAPI and the metaWeblogAPI completely and the MovableType API partially. According to the documentation of the MovableType API implementation it even supports the keywords field :)

  • LocoRoco Demo for your PSP

    Posted on June 4, 2006 at 21:44 +0200 Tagged with , , ,

    Today I finally updated my PSP to version 2.71 for basically just one reason: I wanted to give the LocoRoco demo a try. Well, no comment as always about the stupid process of updating with a 70% full battery ;) But the demo is at least quite entertaining :) After some minutes I finally noticed that rotating the world while in the air actually makes a difference g Now all I have to find out is if the demo level actually has an exit.
