- Link on php.net

  Recently Planet PHP got linked on php.net. Thanks to Gabor Hojtsy for that!

- Planet PHP linked on PEARweb

  Planet PHP recently got a link on PEARweb.

- OOO 1.1.1

  Yes, you read right. OpenOffice.org version 1.1.1 is out. With a huge bunch
  of bug fixes and some cool new features (e.g. "," instead of "." as the
  decimal char... whoever that needs! ;) ) I will definitly install that this
  evening.

- Logo for Planet PHP

  Finally I got the chance to start developing on Planet PHP. :)

- New RSS reader

  RSS (I guess) is one of the most usefull and common XML dialects. Especially
  for me. Beside XHTML RSS is the one I use most. Until about 10 minutes ago I
  used Liferea for RSS reading, which is indeed a cool and clean tool. But
  what gives you a good tool, if you forget to use it? What I wanted was to
  have my RSS feeds integrated to my email client and I found what I wanted:

- M$ Office versus OpenOffice.org

  Heise wrote: "Microsoft vergleicht MS Office mit OpenOffice", which is
  translated "Microsoft compares MS Office to OpenOffice".

- Enhancing firefox...

  Mozilla Firefox (formally known as Firebird) is the coolest browser the
  Mozilla project ever produced. My compliment! But to get a fully customized
  browser you have to download and install (ok, that's just 1 step together)
  several extensions. And since I have multiple computers, where I more or
  less often have to install the desired Firefox, I allways needed to browse
  through the extension directory and find all the extensions I wanted to
  have...

- Blogging day

  As Microsoft recently introduced the patch day, I seem to have silently
  introduced the blog day... :) My personal blogday is the friday, which is
  the first day, this week (or maybe about a bit longer), I really have time
  to write a bit of the stuff down I experienced the last days... Here are
  some small misc blurbs, which do not last to make a complete entry of them.

- The flavor of freedom...

  My bluetooth adapter (it was about 20,- € at eBay) finally arrived and I
  got my Nokia 6600 connected. And, holy shit, it's amazing! Using some cool
  programs for my phone rocks and having my private and work data synchronized
  everytime I come near one of the computers rocks even more. To give you a
  short impression, what I have working I put some pictures into my gallery.

- Mouse gestures with JavaScript

  Mouse gestures are a very cool and easy way to navigate websites.
  Problematic is, that the most used browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer)
  does not support them by nature.
