Of course, you have to announce your new blog posts over Twitter. A cool twitter client is not the worst idea - I personally decided to run Twhirl for this purpose because Twhirl is able to run multiple accounts. As Twhirl is based on the platform Adobe Air, you first have to install this one. Go to http://get.adobe.com/air/, download it to your /home/ folder. Open the command line and type [Read more...]
If you are in business, your companies' IT policy is perhaps to run Microsoft products like Windows OS only. Although you might have a bit of freedom in this manner (let's say because you are presenting on Open Source software fairs and need to run a Linux for this case) the switch might be not that easy thinking about Microsoft Exchange, Skype, VPN, Microsoft Office and so on. For me, it is [Read more...]
Today, I was mainly working on two topics: Firstly, there came up some requests about the roadmap for the upcoming 4.2.0 release of OXID eShop. Obviously, I did not explain it well enough in my blog post. I probably have to explain it a more clear way the next time... On the other hand, I found out some interesting news: OXID eShop will provide overridable templates from now on. That means - if [Read more...]
After my one-week-trip to Barcelona (maybe another blogpost will follow about it) I will go to Freiburg next week, gladly taking part in OXID's Partner Day 2009 on October, 27th. As usual, a lot of OXID partners will come presenting themselves, discussing about OXID eSales news and attending the so called "Best Solution Award", an award for the best shopping cart software implementation split up [Read more...]
Actually I wrote the blog post "The Scuttles at Anker Leipzig" to check out the module "Upcoming Events" whether WordPress is working nice for bands and artists that want to run an interactive website instead of a stupid static one. You know, I don't really like that upcoming Flash intro pages (that you might skip in best case) followed by links like "Band", "Members", "Sound", "Guest Book", [Read more...]
Moving WordPress from one server to another is pretty simple. It actually shall not take longer as five minutes following this steps: 1st step - server environment Check if the basic server environment is the same as you had on the server before, especially for PHP-Version (some modules require PHP5 and higher) Database-Version (maybe important for your data import) special PHP [Read more...]
On November, 14th, The Scuttles will perform again in Anker Leipzig. As Seb is really set on fire about that band we have go there. Seb seems to to be really addicted to Dire Straits tbo. No day that I don't hear "Sultans of Swing" played along on his guitar in a different version again and again. I really love it :-)
Finally I stumbled in :-) It took a long time since I felt expressing myself and actually doing it! Twitter is just too short, isn't it? I will mostly be writing about my job as Community Guide at OXID eSales, the inventor of OXID eShop but also about personal stuff: My boys, making music and musicians, aquaristics, archery and past episodes and stories I underwent in my life. Hope you'll like [Read more...]
