• You never stop learning... (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  ... at least when you are using Linux! I noticed that especially yesterday again, when I ran the small bash line to check my temperature over and over again, after trying to set my fan-speed manually to maximum (so, I wanted to check if temperature of my CPU goes down). Jakob looked kinda scared at me and asked, why I did not simply use: [Read full post…]

• Check your Thinkpads temperatures (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Jakob and me just wrote a small bash line that checks the current temperature of the IBM Thinkpad T43p notebook and prints it nicely. Hope we guessed the value meanings correctly. [Read full post…]

• eZ Template article (en)

  Yesterday my new article about the eZ Template component (part of the eZ components since 1.1) was published. The article deals with using the template engine in a real-life example and deals with most of it's great features like automatic output escaping, cycles, template includes and many of the built-in template functions.

• PHPUGDO plans "PHP introduction workshop" (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  During our last usergroup meeting here in Dortmund (last Thursday), the idea came up to organize a "PHP introduction day", if there is enough interesst in the local area. The idea resulted from the success of Kores and my "PHP best practices talk" at FrOSCon. We generally thought about making a whole day event, where we will teach people PHP basics in the morning and some advanced stuff (like best practices, usage of components, etc.) in the afternoon. So I emailed the students mailinglist of our computer science faculty at university and our Linux AG mailinglist from university, if there is interesst. By now we have over 50 interessted people, which is really amazingly cool! The plans evolved further again and we think about making a 2 day event, where we provide PHP basisc on day 1 in the morning, then give people the chance to code a small application in the afternoon, where we give assistance (so a real "workshop"). On day 2 we will then teach the advanced section and let people also code a small app, using some advanced techniques, like OO patterns and component libraries. [Read full post…]

• My first patch to PHP (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Hehe, some might say, that those 10 lines of C code are not even worth calling it a patch. Especially, since it was mostly copy and paste work and since Christian Schneider also adviced me for some improvement. Anyway, Marcus just commited my enhancement to pathinfo(), which adds a new field "filename" to the returned array of path elements. [Read full post…]

• Blog updates (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  I just found 10 minutes to clean up my blog a bit. I switched the theme from my old brownish, dark theme to a nice grey-blueish one by Sebastian Bergmann (thanks!). It now looks much friendlier. Beside that, I updated my sidebar plugins and added the new eZ components release feed. Cool, now I only have to make up my new website, for which a little tool is lurking on my hard disc for a couple of months now... Hope I will find time after my exam phase end of July.
