Online Comics
May 27th, 2008Already a little while ago Robert postet some example code on how add meta data to images using the relatively new WPF.
After playing around with the code for a while, I got some weird exceptions thrown at me, e.g. “A first chance exception of type ‘System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException’ occurred in PresentationCore.dll“. Now, the only thing I had changed was letting the tagging routine run in a seperate thread:
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Thread t = new Thread(writeMetadata);
t.Start();
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
static void writeMetadata()
{
// write the metadata to the image here
}
AppUpdater with Apache Server (without Web-DAV)
April 14th, 2008What if you’re implementing an application in .NET (C#) that is supposed to automatically update itself once a new version comes out? Well, you have multiple options, some of which cost a lot of money, while others are free but come with certain restrictions, like being only compatible with an ISS or solely running in user space like ClickOnce apps.
Contact Alarm v0.2
March 26th, 2008
Today I released an updated version of my Skype plugin “Contact Alarm“. It introduces a new setting, which will let you replace the default alarm sound with one of your own .wav files. In addition, the license bug was (hopefully and finally) resolved.
So if you experience any problems, or if you have any questions or suggestions for the next release, feel free to let me know in the comments or drop me an e-mail.

Virales Marketing
February 4th, 2008
In der letzten Zeit habe ich viel über virales Marketing gelesen und gehört, speziell von einem Freund, der in diesem Bereich seine Diplomarbeit schreibt. Heute morgen ist diese neuartige Vermarkungswoge bis in die Wrangelstraße, genauer gesagt in meinen Briefkasten geschlagen. Dort fand sich ein gefütterter Umschlag, der nach dem Öffnen ein schmales Holzkästchen zu Tage förderte. Selbiges enthielt neben einer Lochkarte, welche auf der Rückseite die Beschriftung “THE FINAL MILL INC.”/”SERIES AAB” trug, einen Zettel mit folgender Info: “To execute these commandments you’ll have to find the properly gifted fellows.” Der Poststempel besagt, dass der Umschlag in Frankfurt aufgegeben wurde.
Contact Alarm - Skype Plugin
January 30th, 2008Update: In the meantime beta version 0.2 of this plugin has been published. Go here.
As already noted in one of my previous posts, I have been looking for a Skype plugin that will let me set individual status notifications for my contacts. Although Skype has a build-in option for notifying you, when your contacts’ status changes (by little fade-in windows), this option affects ALL of your contacts. This can get quite annoying, especially if you have more than 10 buddys.
SWT vs. Swing (Eclipse vs. NetBeans)
November 27th, 2007This was going to be a whole post about the advantages and disadvantages of both (or the four), but luckily someone already summed it up and included a whole bunch of valuable sources in his post. However, most of them are more than one year old, which is why I’d like to have your comments and of course your vote below. What do you use to develop your GUIs?
Loading … Loading …Master of Science - Applied Computer Science
November 19th, 2007It’s accomplished! As of now I can officially call myself “M.Sc. in Applied Computer Science” with a key qualification in media and communications. Thanks again to everyone, who gave me their support over the last 6 month (thesis). I won’t forget!
Remotely Debugging PHP with Eclipse
November 14th, 2007Since I may have to do some PHP programming in the near future, I have been looking for a nice IDE over the last week. For syntax highlighting and simple editing, Notepad++ has been doing the job so far, but I’m getting sick and tired of having to use the print() command to output variables I need to check. Thus, code debugging was one of the mandatory features I was aiming for in my conquest for an IDE. As of yet, I have been using Eclipse for my Java programming, being very satisfied with its feature list as well as its GUI and the fact that it’s supported by a huge community. Furthermore, it’s open-source (therefore freely available) and easily extensible through hundrets of plugins, available via the Eclipse-internal software update mechanism.
From Bloglines to Google Reader
October 31st, 2007
Up until last week I used Bloglines to organize and read my RSS feeds. Since I have two computers and regularly access my feeds from both, I found this to be the best solution. While Bloglines satisfied my needs at first, over time I got more and more upset with their interface. Clicking on a feed automatically marks ALL items in it as read, no matter whether you actually read them or not. So if you have a feed with an already fairly large amount of unread items in it, you better work through them at one go, otherwise you’ll loose some. Trying to bring back items that you couldn’t read (because you maybe clicked on another feed in-between) by setting the display option to display “All items” will do the thing, although then you will still have to determine on your own, which items you have or haven’t already read. This got me to the point where I postponed reading some of my feeds until I could spare the time of struggling through 300+ news items and over time this got worse and worse. In the end I always just clicked on the damn thing to get it over with (not having read a single line:-)
