At IPC2k7: WebDAV will come over you... (en)
by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100
The new semester has right begun, which basically means that the semester vacation as it was named earlier (now the lesson free time) is over. While that meant a lot of exams and work on the book for Kore and me at first, we had time for some vacation and finally to take care about a brand new eZ Components project: [Read full post…]

Howto: Spamdyk and Qmail on Gentoo (en)
by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100
After my server was close to wasting all its CPU time for checking email messages for potential spam using Spamassassin I decided that it was time to investigate. My friend Arne, who helped me a lot with Qmail problems earlier, recommended to install spamdyk, an SMTP spam filter that is placed in front of Qmail and does not require specially patches for the MTA itself. Spamdyk can filter mail by blacklisting, whitelisting, greylisting and using several other options. [Read full post…]

Comments back online (en)
by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100
Mi friend Kristian from eZ Systems noted this morning, that comments on my blog were disabled. That was actually an accedent, because I shutted down comments some days ago to stop a spam wave and forgot to switch them on again. I now re-enabled comments and trackbacks. If you ever want to comment on one of my posts and find comments disableds, don't hesitate to send me a mail about it! [Read full post…]

Tool of the year: BitlBee (en)
by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100
Kore pointed me to a tool called BitlBee. Imagine that I am currently connected to 4 IRC networks and I am using Gaim for Jabber and ICQ. While Gaim is quite satisfying, it disturbs, that you have 2 communication clients online. Beside that, it disturbs me, that I have 1 tab per conversation open in gaim. On my server already runs a bouncer to allow me to keep me connected t my networks while I'm offline with my client. [Read full post…]

The Web 2.0 misery (en)
by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100
In the past months, the term "Web 2.0" has been pushed as if it was a cool new Internet. Sorry, guys and girls, but this is bullshit. "Web 2.0" is the mis-term of the current and the past year. The "Web", if it ever existed, is a medium of several markup languages (especially HTML), which allows to provide information in a hyper-linked way over the Internet. It does not matter, which way you choose to provide this information (XTML, SVG or plain text). Beside that, "Web 2.0" seems to talk about rich-client interfaces over the web. Hello? XUL is quite old, ActiveX is even older and if you look at Citrix, you can provide "real" applications over the web. [Read full post…]
