We all know that being present on the most prominent Social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter or Digg has become a must, if you want to place yourself and your products properly in today’s Web. As of last year there is a new contender on the market. Google Plus (Google+).
There are several Wordpress plugins out there that let you automatically tweet and Facebook your posts which makes keeping these two up to date relatively easy. Up till now though there was no working extension that would do the same for Google Plus. I recently found one though.

In cooperation with the design agency vierzehn02 FSnD has created another Typo3 website for their customer LaserJob.
The website has changing images and a modern jQuery menu navigation. The site was created a multi-lingual, multi-domain site in German and English for Germany and Canada.
I just stumbled upon this great bog entry. It tells how loads of Indian so called SEO experts are now out of a job, due to the last algorithm update by Google, called Penguin. Google finally decided to put an end to the wide spread spamming tactics of thousands of Indian ‘Internet Experts’.
The article stated that there would be a big increase in the jobless rate in the Indian computer industry

If you own a bookmark portal or a bookmark page, you naturally want to be able to make money with it. That’s obvious. Very few actually do earn income with their bookmarks, because they go and make every mistake possible. To earn money with bookmark pages you first have to overcome your stinginess. What does that mean? Quite simple, don’t go and delete users and accounts haphazardly and selectively, but allow and permit them. Only delete those that have clearly violated your site rules. (Illegal content, pornography, Werez, etc.). If you keep to this rule and remain open to new entries, then you will start making money with your bookmark pages. Whether that is with Google Adsense or other ad providers. The more pages and subjects a bookmark portal contains, the more interesting it becomes for advertising companies. You make … continue >
Everyone who has created or worked on a larger website project has experienced the problem of dealing with the multitude of different browsers out there and their various quirks and failings. The plathoria of browsers goes from various versions of the Internet Explorer (IE 6 to 9 currently), to FireFox, Opera, Safari to more exotic applications such as Konqueror( used on Linux boxes ). The website developer usually has a favorite browser he or she uses for creating the webpages – most developers I know use Firefox, personally I prefer Opera. After completing the project, if they’re smart, they’ll check it out in various other Internet Browsers. It is usually not so good to tell your boss to have a look at the pages before you do that. Non-technical oriented people tend to use what their operating system provides out … continue >
I am originally a software developer. I work with C++ and develop Windows applications that interface with exotic hardware or with databases. I’ve been doing that for over 20 years now. Just a few years ago, if someone had suggested I would also create webpages for a living, I would have thought him mad. I’d had one look at creating webpages with HTML and found it extremely tedious and time-consuming – as there was now proper way to re-use code or automate things properly. About twelve years ago we were asked to promote a webpage on the Internet for my parents. This resulted in me getting better acquainted with the way things are found on the Net and how webpages can differ in quality. A friend told me about Content Management Systems and how they could help separate the content of … continue >
The other day I head that Prime Minister Putin in Russia had decreed that his country would not go back to winter or standard time. They would continue to use daylight savings time, or summer time as it is called there, all year round. I was amused at the high-handed way Mr. Putin wanted to create a quick and dirty solution to a problem that has been discussed in Europe for years now. Well, as you can guess the order from the Kremlin was heard by the media and most of the public, but it just didn’t make it into the electronic brains of all our modern gadgets. PCs, MACs, smart phones, organizers, smart watches, yes even TVs and some fridges were totally unimpressed by the decree. They all changed over to standard time Sunday morning. Subsequently there was great … continue >
I am currently in Germany and I have been following the Euro Crisis closely. One of the reasons for that is that the Euro exchange rate influences how much the money I earn here will be worth in Canada. Also years ago I invested in some Euro bonds, which seemed a smart idea back then.
So, with relief I watched the Euro climb during the last few days
continue >I just started this new blog. Always wanted a place where I can post some of my thoughts about programming in general and Typo3 in particular. Yes and I wanted a place where I can sometimes make a political statement about stuff that really bugs me. I’ll try to keep posting some Typo3 tips and tricks regularly and general information about changes to this CMS. I’ll also try to keep the ranting part of the politics down to the absolute minimum. I said I’d try, I didn’t say I’d be successful though.
