I have uploaded new pictures to Flickr. Here they are - unsorted and uncommented.
Microsoft Small Basic. In a strange way, nostalgic. A Basic in the style of QBasic, but for Silverlight and the browser with libraries for graphics output and similar things. Essentially something like Processing, but .NET instead of JVM and Basic instead of Java.
Pressbox « WordPress Plugins. I wanted to build this myself all the time, but now it's already available. I could take a look at it - with this you can select images from Dropbox and insert them into posts. Since I'm using Dropbox a lot for images, this would be quite practical - but I first have to check if the image is then brought to the WordPress server, or if it remains on Dropbox - I want my media files to be on my own servers.
Expensive healthcare system: Funds expect additional contribution of 70 euros. Funny, how quickly it's all just about how to fleece the insured as much as possible and no longer about temporarily helping a cash-strapped fund. And it's always great how politicians keep saying you just need to switch to a fund without additional contributions. How, when soon all funds will do that? And of course, the employee has to pay for it all. So that the pharmaceutical industry, doctors, and pharmacists can still reach powerfully into the pockets of employees tomorrow. And the Prolethicians in Berlin hold the stirrup nicely.
Leistungsschutzrecht: Bundesjustizministerin ĂĽber eine Abgabenpflicht fĂĽr Zitate. Once again, the politics helps the internet non-understanders and rights extortionists in companies with a broken business model to make money at the expense of others' work. And incidentally, the right to quote is destroyed. Because does anyone really believe that "commercial" won't quickly become "business-like" and then, through legal hair-splitting, "every blogger"? It's enough to have advertising on your own blog to be considered a commercial provider. And of course, the idea of introducing another collecting society for the nonsense is great, which also wants to be paid well again. At some point, we will probably have to pay the gas suppliers when we want to fart.
ZenphotoPress is a WordPress plugin that allows you to access images and galleries in ZenPhoto from WordPress. Since you can upload entire folders to ZenPhoto via FTP or other methods (e.g., by simply linking the Albums directory to Dropbox), and thus easily get images into galleries, you can also quickly and easily access these images in WordPress. Might be something as a tinkering project, as I'm still looking for simple ways to feed my photo blog from Lightroom.
From Me To You. Fascinating not-quite-photos and not-quite-films. A bit of background information on how these GIFs are made. And another site that does something similar.
