This blog is officially dead since October 2009. And yet, there are still people visiting my site every day. This is what they’re interested in: … read on!

There were many times that I found misspellings, wrong comma placements or other small mistakes on websites while surfing through the web. And I think my blog is no exception (these two sentences already sound incorrect somehow…)! And whenever I find one of those small mistakes I would really like to simply click into the text and relocate the comma or add the missing letter or whatever. Of course this isn’t possible (except for special Web2.0-sites like the Wikipedia). You have to use a contact form, an e-mail, the comments-function or the like if you actually want to call the website-owner’s attention to things like that. But a simple comma replacement isn’t worth the effort and imagine writing an E-mail like

Dear Sir or Madam,

on page xyz of your website is a misspelling in line 123. The word you use there is “mitsake”, yet I think you meant “mistake”. Please correct that.

Sincere regards …

Sounds snobish, does it?! That’s why I’ve written a little JavaScript- and PHP-Code to put my idea into action. See everything in detail after the jump.

Oh – My – Holy – God! I think my blog is officially dead now! After, uhm, not even 30 posts! But I’ve done a lot of things since March the twentieth, when I published the last post! And I mean things apart from twittering!

In April, for example, I developed a whole new WordPress-Theme called “JavaScript-OperatingSystem-Theme” (“JS-OS-Theme“). I’ve chosen this extraordinary name, because it’s based on JavaScript (and PHP of course, the WordPress-part!) and looks and behaves like an operating system. For all those of you who can speak German: Ihr könnt euch diesen Screencast ansehen, in dem ich das Theme ausführlich vorstelle. For all those of you who can’t: Enjoy the “ö”s and “ü”s in the last sentence and believe that all your stereotypes about Germany are true. Or go directly to trial.me-blogs-it.com – I’ve installed the Theme for experimental purpose and the test-posts are all in English!

I’ve done even more things in May!

Now, in June I began to teach myself Objective-C to write Mac and iPhone-Apps! I’ve already done a dozen of “Hello, World!”-Tutorials, yet I haven’t learned anything at all… But before I begin to bore you with this I rather tell you about the two other projects which ended up in further subdomains:

I noticed, as I wrote yesterday’s post, that I haven’t explained Germany’s blogosphere, yet. And since half of my visitors are non-Germans I think I have to catch up on this. (And my “The Writing Camp”-post isn’t finished yet…)

The German Blogosphere is of course not as huge as the English/American Blogosphere, simply because the audience is way smaller (there are not as many German-speakers in the world as English-speakers). But apart from this, blogs are not very established in Germany. While in the USA everybody knows about HuffPo and Gawker and the Media also refers to their stories, in Germany Blogs are rather hushed up by Journalists and bloggers are not taken seriously. That’s why many people (and I’m talking about young, internet-active people!) don’t even know what exactly a blog is at all or they believe it’s an (uninteresting) personal internet-diary in which you write about yourself and what you’re doing… So, there’s much potential readership but only little actual readership.

Yet, there’s another “problem” with German Blogs: they aren’t … read on!

Actually I wanted to write a post about J.R. Rotem and “The Writing Team”, but it’s kinda much… So, instead here’s another CSS-post.

When you want a picture to change, while the cursor hovers over it, you usually use JavaScript’s <onMouseOver> in this way:

<img src=”picture.jpg” onmouseover=”this.src=’hover-picture.jpg’;” onmouseout=”this.src=’picture.jpg’;” />
 

Although this is the common way, there’s actually another, better and way simpler way to accomplish this hover-effect, which also works when JavaScript is turned off in the browser.  … read on!

Is this awesome or what? After three years of disputes the Berlin senate finally has cleared the way for two pilot projects: In East and in West Berlin antennas are installed on several traffic lights to provide a comprehensive wireless network. Afterwards every Berliner will be able to log onto the internet via WLAN – regardless of whether he’s walking down the street or using the S-Bahn. You know what? I lurrrrrve Berlin! … read on!

I’ve just written a blog post about my “General Blogdesign”-Theme. Now I got a pingback from a site where suddenly I can read the beginning of my post. It’s not inserted like a quote, it’s the whole beginning, unchanged. Just with another headline: “Tips: 10 Inside Tips to Saving Money and Making the Most of Your Retail Shopping Experience”. A screenshot after the jump: … read on!
