Our coffeemaker at the office died today. 
And how should a geek be able to work without coffee? Therefore we are going to buy this one ASAP:

2010-06-18 // What the hell? WP's new default theme "Twenty Ten" feels so familiar to me...
WordPress 3.0 is out. Normally, nothing important to me because I never used WP for blogging or something else (I don't trust its security). But now, I'm puzzled: The new default theme ”Twenty Ten” got a very similar look and feel compared to my ”mnml” DokuWiki template I created for this blog.
Don't get me wrong: No one copied something from someone. I saw “Twenty Ten” the first time today after reading the article about WP 3.0. Additionally, I'm pretty sure no WordPress developer ever visited my small blog and “Twenty Ten” was started far before I began to develop “mnml”. But it is frustrating to me that thousands of blogs will now look similar to mine. Argh. 
However, I have to live with it. It took a few days to create “mnml” and I'm still very happy with it's look, therefore I will keep it. Shit happens. 
2010-06-08 // PHP: Happy 15th Birthday!
Fifteen successful years are gone since Rasmus Lerdorf released PHP 1.0 – a long time for a software, especially for a language generally grown and maintained as an open source project. Here's to the next 15 years!
I did my first steps regarding web development with PHP3, first serious projects with PHP4.1 (back then, MSIE 6 was brand new and innovative as hell 
).

2010-04-18 // Alles neu
I just redesigned my blog and came to the decision to write my coming postings in English.1) Reasons are various, mostly I want to improve my English skills. Additionally, my blog will get a strong focus on the internet and its technical background. I simply reach more persons with English because even most non-native speakers working as web developers should understand English good enough to get the information they might want.

Wenn das mal kein gutes Omen ist – kaum befindet sich die Gesellschaft für das aktuelle Projekt in der Gründung, findet sich bei Florian folgender Zettel in einem Glückskeks:
Sachen gibt's… *lol*
2008-03-07 // Die Sonne geht auf
Die Sonne geht gerade auf, sieht schick aus. Erinnert mich aber daran, wie schnell die Stunden davonfliegen, wenn man ordentlich was zu tun hat (und eigentlich wollte ich schon längst daheim sein). Wie auch immer, aus unseren neuem Büro im dritten Stock (in welches wir am Mittwoch aus dem zweiten Stock umgezogen sind) hat man wirklich nen schönen Ausblick in den Bereich vor dem ZKM, gefällt mir super.
Außerdem sollte ich noch frischen Kaffee zu machen. Selbiger ist gerade bitter nötig… irgendwie hab ich nämlich gerade einen absoluten geistigen Hänger und noch mindestens zwei Dinge vor mir, bei denen das Hirn noch korrekt arbeiten sollte. 
Zweischnelle Schnappschüsse gibt es aber noch:
