citizen journalism [update]

 Images 337108 Habivor längerer zeit wurde ich von this gefragt, ob ich mal beim tastentest mitmachen möcht.
nachdem die wii schon vergeben war und auf die schnelle (jemand ist abgesprungen) das sony gps-cs1 mit dem mac eine längere testphase bedingt hätte, hab ich für this gerne ein nabaztag getestet. drum die vielen hasen-fotos auf flickr…
morgen erscheint mein textli in der zeitung.
wer die BZ nicht abonniert hat oder eh lieber online liest, kann den artikel hier lesen: Habi und der Hase. wer die anderen gadget-tests von berner bloggern lesen will, findet unter espace.ch/tastentest alle bisher erschienen kolummnen [1].

oh, und falls sich wirklich neue leser hierhin bequemt haben: grüessech!

[1]: this, heisst das überhaupt so?

more plugins!

since it’s so easy to install plugins in wordpress (upload, activate, finished), i’ve installed some more plugins here:

first: dropdown-archives. they unclutter my sidebar without a single line of coding. it compacts the full archives into a nice dropdown-field. i feel like noone uses the archives, but still felt like letting them stay in the sidebar.

the second one is more for safari users (because it degrades nicely for other browsers): the safari-search-field widget. it adds a search field to the blog that looks and behaves like the one safari-users have in their top-left corner (unless you installed inquisitor 3). if you use another browser it looks like a normal search field, as you can see below.

Search.Safari-1 Search.Firefox-1

[both via wordpress widgets]

oh, and as you can see in the top-left corner: ich bin nicht elitär :-)

wordpress plugins are great!

wordpress-plugins are really neat!

i probably stumbled over lightboxJS a hundred times before. today i thought it would be really nice to have that for this site here. thanks to wordpress-plugins, implementing it here only took 4 steps:

– google wordpress plugin lightboxJS
– download the plugin from here
– drop it into /wp-content/plugins
– activate the plugin in the control panel
and now, if you click on an image, you get the nice lightboxJS-effect. try it for yourself, maybe in the post below!
and if you read me only through my feed, this might be worth checking out the site…

updating here and there

i’m updating the site on different ends, correcting importing errors, and assigning categories to post that haven’t been categorized. so bear with me (and ignore the possible quirks in the feed for some days), everything will resume to normal state soon.

for rouge, the site now has a favicon, thankts to the favicon manager for wordpress, and cocomments is now integrated thanks to the really cool plugin from david.

this blog is now without /blog

in the last few weeks movable type stressed the server more and more. after reading a bit into it, i found out, that wordpress is much fancier and much less resource-hungry as a blog platform.
and after trying out an install wordpress on habi.gna.ch, which really took less than five minutes, i was sold. now wordpress is powering habi.gna.ch and the blog is going to migrate to the root directory. everything else (pics, cv, my calendars and such) is still gonna stay where it is, and maybe be integrated into wordpress (which works quite well as a CMS) sometimes.
i’m still tinkering with the way of redirectong the old movable type archives to the imported posts, but this still has time.
if you’d like, you can change your feed addresses, but i will install a redirect-rule and leave everyting where it is.
after some time, when google and co. picked up everything, i’m gonna delete or inactivate /blog…

for your convenience [1] here are the new feed addresses:
for the posts: https://habi.gna.ch/feed/ and for the comments: https://habi.gna.ch/comments/feed/

[1] i also really like the URIs which are generated by wordpress. nice and clean (see the archives, for example…)

suicmc06

Suicmc06yesterday the swiss cycle messenger championships 2006 were held in zürich, in the middle of the city.

it was really a blast! mostly because there were loads of spectators, the weather was super-nice, it was fun to meet other messengers in switzerland (i guess around 120 of ’em were there), but also, because i’m now officially the fourth-best messenger in switzerland[1], just a bit short after triple faiss and a wee bit faster than dom (both from lausanne).

my images can be found here, and maybe the tag suicmc06 is going to fill up with more pictures…

[1]: see screenshot on the left (and this might persuade me to still cycle a bit sometimes!)

eighties flashback! [update]

Simonextremedo you remember simon (update: or senso, like neopren-sigi [1] points out)?

i remember playing it for hours. i actually remember it so good, that i couldn’t help but having a biiiiig smile after downloading simon extreme, the port of the game to os x. it even has alternate sound sets like heavy metal and hip-hop. and lickable eye-candy, like most software on osx…

[1] just for clarification: this is neopren-sigi, and this is schnee-sigi
