I was searching for something completely different, but found something quite interesting. Small, readable, great fonts for programmers. And no more problems with l, I and 1 or O and 0.
ProFont and Sheldon
ProFont is great, but I prefer Sheldon for the simple reason that the ‘a’ can be easier distinguished from the ‘o’. The only [...]

Till about one week ago, I often had my cellphone and a PDA with me. One for communication, the other for organisation (games, appointments, tasks, notes and stuff). But since the PDA is another gadget I have to carry around, I didn’t use it as often. And ever since I switched my online calendar, the [...]

I figured, that I’ve got more ideas and wishes that I’ve got time and skills to make them real. So, I’ll be posting something like a wishlist every now and then. Let’s start with a simple request.
You prolly know these little fellas and hopefully use them often.

These are the icons that represent the function of [...]

Notepad entry (will be updated every once in a while).
Some Add-Ons for Firefox that I use:

Abduction – Helpful tool to create screen- or webshots.
BetterPrivacy – Since the methods of datamining get better, one needs better defense.
ColorZilla – A colorpicker, ’nuff said.
DNS Prefetch – While Firefox 3.5 will do DNS prefetching to speed up the browsing, [...]

So, to comply with a request, here’s a bit more about Bookmarklets (or Favelets, as they are called with an inferior browser). Bookmarklets allow you to execute small commands that interact with the current website (or a part of it). To be precise, they are just short (since bookmarks have a certain max size, depending [...]

Notepad entry (will be updated every once in a while).
Some Add-Ons for Thunderbird that I use.

Enigmail – E-mail encryption. Not using it as much as I should, but then again I can’t really decide if I should use S/MIME or PGP or both to sign my stuff. Once I get over that I will use [...]

I’ll start using the blog as some kind of notepad for stuff I always end up searching elsewhere.
Starting with a simple method to edit webpages (but only for display in the browser). Copy and paste to the url bar: Link
(Works as a bookmark as well.)

For reasons unknown, there seems to be great interest in an old (2003-09-19) screenshot, at least according to my error log. Well, the original image was deleted, but if want to see it that badly… (The original image URL now directs to this site in case you’re wondering.)

I’m sorry, I can’t credit the original authors [...]

For a net citizen like me, who wants to keep track of many sites, but has limited time (or is just lazy), the next best thing to sliced bread are RSS feeds. You don’t have to visit every site every other day to see if there’s something new posted. A program on your computer (your [...]

Speaking of 3D and learning. A few days ago I discoverd Alice, a 3D programming environment. Basically it’s a tool that let’s you create/program animations and simple games via an easy GUI, without having to worry about syntax and typing errors. Meaning the student/learner can concentrate on learning the basics of programing or tell a [...]
