We recently stumbled over the problem that we want to know the exit status of the last command that was executed in our ZSH. Well the obvious thing is echoing $?, but as we need this quite often we want to have it in our right prompt. Googling around a little bit, we found the [...]
Okay, this is one of the posts I wanted to since about 1 year, but now, nearly 2 years after the first git vs. Mercurial blog post I finally made it to actually write a second time about this topic. A first notice: I won’t cover bazaar. I personally hate it with passion and think [...]
When I started blogging, serendipity was my favorite blog system. It was faster and cleaner to me than WordPress. Also WordPress was known for being a insecure at that time.
Well now after 2 years of blogging I took another look at a WordPress and I must admit that I’m impressed by the clean admin interface [...]

When I was 13 years old, I spend a lot of time on a city network called RivalNet, causing a telephone bill of 600DM. There were no flatrates at that time.

Natürlich haben wir dabei auch interne [...]

Da ich auf einen neuen Server umziehe wird ab dem 31.01.2007 die Domain sqlbackup.net nicht mehr erreichbar sein. Die Adresse blog.experimentalworks.net wird jedoch übernommen, und mein Blog wird darüber erreichbar sein.
I was looking for an iTunes Remote Control to control my iTunes thats running on my Mac from my Linux desktop. As I don’t find a nice solution on sourceforge.org (In fact there are several projects target on that issue, but no release and often there was just an initial commit) I wrote a simple [...]
First I wanted to code, but then I realized that I don’t have the right key for the office, where I put my laptop yesterday, so I grabbed my Wacom and started painting on my second pc. Pretty nice, as I didn’t have the time to paint since months.
