This week my iPod also got some fresh music. Coldplay published their Live-Album LeftRightLeftRightLeft (via), some blogs published Daft Punk remixes (via), Mike Skinner from The Strees pushed some music via Twitter into the web “The Twitter” (via) and just a few minutes ago the Sub Pop CyberSex Sampler found the way into my iPod (via). Pretty good week so far :P Finally a Beethoven-remix from Soulwax (via) [audio:http://cache03-music02.myspacecdn.com/61/std_9b57d13da38e4c6b80e3e8dddf7580a8.mp3] Edit: Music To Feed Your Soul During Crucial Design Moments

I just saw that Heiner already published a new (stable) version of his Desktop-Timetracking software. Within this version he did a lot of refactoring - actually I helped out with some work and with lot’s of smart³ comments ;) - and I’m really proud that I got him into TDD.

Dmitry and Steffen included some of the AOE guys (including me) into the TemplaVoila team and we all try to contribute into the project from now on. Therefore I just checked the Unit-tests for TemplaVoila and tried to find a way how to improve them in the future and somewhere within the tx_templavoila_api -Class I found the PageTS key “tx_templavoila.storagePid”. That seems to be some kind of nice workaround for everyone who’s not interested to mess up the TYPO3 general record storage page with the TemplaVoila DS/TO storage-folder. ... Read more

I just found this on YouTube … I was in the stadium and that was the saddest moment on Saturday - spending 34€ to see such a lousy game with two stupid goals for the opponents. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8FpvwMTMKI[/youtube] I can’t really imagine how they got their 32 points during the season and I don’t really like the way the played soccer over the last few years - during the second half they didn’t even really shout into the direction of Dortmunds goal :( - currently I think that it can’t get worse. ...

I saw some of these sprites long time ago on some spiegel.de subpage and from time to time I see smaller sprites within stuff I get from our HTML-team - but this article and it’s insights into realworld design, is really great … continue on Smashing Mag - The Mystery Of CSS Sprites And that’s where you should start with it - as always AListApart is the best source for Web-Designers … AListApart about Sprites

“Translate, squeeze, and/or delete characters from standard input, writing to standard output.” … that’s the manpage description of the shell-command I just found (with the help of a good friend) … and besides sed this is a very handy way to do simple string-operations on stdin. He used it to replace (old) Mac newline characters with Unix newline charaters within files (as seen on wikipedia): tr '\r' '\n' < old. ... Read more
