http://slackerbit.ch Did I say that?

That's why all my blogs (both of them) now share the same theme (Scribbish), even though they run on two completely different engines. To get you own WP-blog all pretty-like, you can grab ScribbishWP. You won't regret it. :) http://slackerbit.ch/2006/10/17/now-with-27-percent-more-pretties/ Since I felt kind of bad about breaking old URLs, I dug a little in the mod_rewrite docs and came up with a solution that should make the old URLs working again. (as if anybody cared...) :) http://slackerbit.ch/2006/10/11/now-with-even-more-mod_rewrite-fu/ OK, after a rather long hiatus (over 2 years), I decided to reactivate this blog and get rid of my last MT-powered blog. Because I was curious, I decided to give Wordpress a spin. I broke all the old URLs (bad Alex, no cookie), but at least the old content came over ... http://slackerbit.ch/2006/10/11/rebirth/ It's amazing that there are still coders out there who have never heard of diff and patch. I'm helping out at a website, and I was asked to install a few "hacks" into the bulletin board software. After unpacking the archive containing the hacks I almost burst into tears. These "hacks" ... http://slackerbit.ch/2004/01/21/its-like-brain-surgery-with-blunt-rocks/ Wow, this blog has been deserted for quite a while... Anyway, as a followup to my last entry, I am no longer jobless. Since the beginning of the year, I am now a freelance web developer. This move also calls for a server upgrade, since my old (or rather, current) server has ... http://slackerbit.ch/2004/01/17/moving-on/ Yesterday, I was layed off. To be precise, both me an my coworker got laid off, because the company just could not afford us any longer. So I spent this morning at the unemployment office, where I was told, that the situation in the job market isn't looking too good. But ... http://slackerbit.ch/2003/07/31/major-suckage/ Apparently, there was a blackout at the hosting facility, and somehow, my server didn't like that very much. In the middle of hacking some stuff, the connection went away and I was unable to ssh back into it, but pings still worked. Unfortunately, this also killed the uptime on the server ... http://slackerbit.ch/2003/07/16/hey-la-my-servers-back/ After some more hacking, I am now releasing version 0.1 of waxpoetyk, codenamed "World Class Fad". There's a lot of debug info printed out on the console, the UI isn't quite finished, but it basically does what it is supposed to do. You can grab the tarball here. Use the code at your ... http://slackerbit.ch/2003/06/19/waxpoetyk-01-released/ For the moment, I went back to the default MT design, because, let's face it, it looks much better than the old white design. And it's a good starting point for yet another redesign. http://slackerbit.ch/2003/06/17/facelift/
