• The eZ Components tutorial online (en)

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

  We finally got a tutorial about eZ components online. I wrote a little example application for that, which realizes a very basic image gallery on basis of the eZ components. It explains how to use a lot of our components in the real world, like Database, PersistentObject, ImageConversion, and some more. You can directly view it online and download it's source code here. Would be great to get some feedback on it! [Read full post…]

• eZ Components 1.1 on the horizon (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  Yesterday we released eZ components version 1.1beta1, a first step to the next feature release of eZ components. The first release does not contain all enhancements, yet, so a 2nd beta will definitely follow. Beside that, the Template engine will be released in about a week, which is IMHO the most awaited component for 1.1. Several great enhancements are already included in 1.1beta1, like sub-select and multi-join support for the query builder in our Database component, parsing mails with the Mail component and automatic help text generation for the ConsoleTools. We also have 2 new components: File - which will provide convenience methods for dealing with files in PHP - and SystemInformation, which can be used to determine information about the underlying system, an application gets installed on.

• Jakob's wireless config for Gentoo (en)

  Since a few days Jakob Westhoff - a good friend, university and usergroup collegue of mine - has a blog. I convinced him to set one up, because he produces a lot of geeky things, which by now stayed on his harddisc. [Read full post…]

• ICQ spam sucks (en)

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

  Since 1996 I'm using ICQ as an instant messaging service. While I was satisfied with it all the time, I'm now getting into real trouble with ICQ spam. Blocking unwanted messages from users that are not on your buddy list is not a problem (at least in Gaim, although this tools seems to forget the privacy settings now and then). But lately I receive constant masses of authorization request spam. It's a real annoyance to get about 50-200 of these messages per day and to reject all of them manually. I would be really near to leaving the ICQ network, if there weren't so many of my non-geek friends on ICQ. [Read full post…]

• More 3D fun with PHP (en)

  Kore is again fiddling around with his PEAR package Image_3D... While implementing something new, he rendered the following "Zebra-Pig", which actually resulted from a bug. Anyway, the whole package is cool, and the pig looks quite funny! ;) Go on, Hardkore! [Read full post…]

• Moving (en)

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

  No, not myself, but my server. Until now I ow a 1und1 Root Server L, which I bought more than 2 years ago. Now that 1und1 offers a new generation of servers, I decided to switch to a 64-bit machine. My old server had a Celeron processor, 256 MB RAM and 20 GB HD, which could not really handle my spam protection anymore. The new one is an Athlon 64 3000+, has 1 GB RAM and 2 80 GB SATA discs, which I run as a soft raid. [Read full post…]
