Awful Leaving
What an awful leaving: First that guy risks the future of his companies and more importantly his employes by massive gambling, and then he commits suicide instead of helping to properly sell his now bancrupt companies.
Updated: Switched to political correct wording. Calling someone a "super asshole" sidetracks reader's attention.
Static Panel Nonsense
Vuntz, you ask for angry reactions, here is your first one: This static panel stuff is the biggest nonsense I've seen in years! You've presented us an early April's fool joke, didn't you?
Please visit some real people and look at their Windows or OSX desktop, look how they customized the Quick-Launch area respectively their dock and then come again, please.
Important hint: Whenever you try to improve something, you should be ...
DHL Online Fraud
Dave, the sad side of the story is, that the German DHL site doesn't make it clear, that it just serves as masquerade for some simple postal service. DHL spent quite some money on marketing the brand "DHL" as full parcel service , comparable to UPS, FedEx, TNT, ... Turns out, that the parcel service of "DHL" is called "DHL Express", not just "DHL" ...
Nag Screens have reached GNOME now
Dude, this sucks! Really. Nag screens[1] finally have reached GNOME: When you insert a CD unknown to the MusicBrainz database, Sound Juicer shows a nag screen asking you to upload that information to MusicBrainz.
I understand that people want to support their favorite service, but in the case of MusicBrainz this is support is really annoying: MusicBrainz - at least as ...
Female Chauvinism
When watching Marc-André I've got one of those women's magazines into my hands and started reading. For a moment I wondered, if male chauvinism isn't just a bizarre invention of female chauvinists - that bizarre was the picture of men drawn there. Really hope, those articles and columns were some kind of bizarre female humor, males cannot gasp. Otherwise it's ...
How to participate, when your ISP is blacklisted?
Dear Lazy Web, how can I send messages to gtk-devel-list, when my public IP address (better the public IP address of a NAT router in Vodafone's network) is black listed? Using a smart host doesn't help, as that blocked IP address shows up in the "Received:" mail headers. Using web mail also doesn't help for the same reason.
Is it time to give up mail, and move all activities to web forums? I'd hate that. ...
New Year
A new year started, let's see if it can match the last one.
It did a good start with finally bringing new anti-smoking laws into action. It was an really embarrassing situation, that you had to choose between entering a restaurant/cafe/ice-parlor or keeping your health. It was annoying that you had change clothes immediatly after leaving such a place ...
Car Broken Open
This morning I had to find my car broken open. Since coming back to Berlin one year ago, this is the second time, some asocial bastard damaged my car. Its not even a new or expensive car. It's a trusty, 15 years old Vectra. What has happend to this place?
Is is time to leave this city of criminal ...
Whatever happened to Gentoo ..
... but when it comes to delivering shiny new software to the masses it got slower than ... cough ... Debian! The latter already has epiphany-webkit, based on epiphany-2.20. But here on my Gentoo box, the newest epiphany ebuild is for 2.18?!? Oh well ... one reason less to stay with Gentoo I guess =(
CSS vs. Rounded Borders
I used to be a big fan of CSS, W3C and such. Until today, when I tried to implement smooth rounded borders. Just look at this mess:
<div id="example">
<div class="rt"><div class="rl"><div class="rr"></div></div></div>
<div class="rc"><div class="rl"><div class="rr">
Lopem ipsem...
</div></div></div>
<div class="rb"><div class="rl"><div class="rr"></div></div></div>
</div>
Not that bad? Well, wait: You've only seen the HTML part, which still is verbose but still kind of acceptable. Now look at the CSS desert:
div.rt { background-position: top center; background-repeat: repeat-x; }
div.rt div.rl { background-position: top left; }
div.rt div.rl ...
Offline
Sorry, taschenorakel.de currently is offline, as DeServer stopped its service without any notice. Is it that hard to send one little mail to all customers: "Sorry, we messed up. Shutting down next week. Goodbye." or even better "Duh, we messed up. Any help available?"
Well, but Mr. Stops even decided not to respond to phone calls anymore. Not ...
