Most of you probably noticed that the new Google netbooks will be abandoning the good ol' capslock key. Yahoo! News has an article about it. Those are my thoughts on it.
Back in the days there were capslock keys on typewriters just to activate the second function of the ...
Now that Facebook has finally introduced the new profile-pages, I am seeing more and more people completing their personal informations. Why is that?
First of all we have to focus on the new layout in a whole. As you can see all of a sudden pictures are much ...
In this post I may introduce you, my geeky reader, to lighttpd's X-Sendfile HTTP Header. This will enable you to command lighttpd to send a file, obviously. You, my dear reader, may know that I absolutely love django. Therefore I may also give you a nice little snippet, which ...
You might have asked yourself how to split lighttpd's configuration files apart or how to simply create configuration templates for several sites. This will show you how.

Every single blogowner has problems with spam in form of comments. There are various ways to tackle this problem, the most popular I know of is by using akismet. However there is an upcoming new trend: Disqus.
The principle of Disqus is pretty easy: we manage your comments.

All of my sites are powered by lighttpd. Therefore I was pretty shocked when I read that there is a serious flaw in lighttpd prior to 1.4.26 which allows massive DoS. I'm running debian lenny and this will show you how to backport lighttpd 1.4.26 ...
Every webguy (may you be webdesigner or webdeveloper) has to test websites against the oh so famous Internet Explorer. Especially versions 6 and 7. How do you do that on OS X? Well here is one possible solution which is not relying on services like Browsershots or Netrender, although it ...
Some weeks ago I got a brandnew MacBook Pro 15.4". No, this won't be yet another MacBook-Review. I downloaded an app and it just didn't open but I quickly found a simple solution. Looks like you can really profit on OS X from 4 years (holy!) experience ...
Update: Ironically this blogpost gets the most spamments. Therefore comments are now closed.
Recently I got really fed up by how much spam I receive in the form of comments. I decided that a captcha is not an ideal solution, since I just hate them and clever spambots have nice ...
This small post is basically a note to myself. It's about the famous django-extensions (formerly django-command-extensions), to be more specific it's about the runscript command.
Update: As Andrzej wrote in the comments, appending -v 2 as argument tells you that your script needs a run() method.
