Nachhaltigen Lernerfolg erzielen? Aber wie???
Nun, wie erziehlt man einen nachhaltigen Lernerfolg bei der Parkdisziplin der Autofahrer (und natürlich Fahrerinnen!)?
Eigentlich verdammt einfach, so heute in unserer Firma geschehen…
Nun, eine junge Kollegin, Führerscheinneuling (so hat man mir jedenfalls erzählt), macht eigentlich ja nix Schlimmes, sie parkt ja nur ihren Kleinwagen (Marke und Typ tun nix zur Sache, daher erwähne ich auch nicht, daß es sich um eine motorisierte Handtasche “VW P(r)olo” handelt, natürlich mit Spoiler und Frittentheke und allem drum und dran, man könnte mir ja Neid unterstellen wollen, was aber bei einem waschechten Hardcore-Biker ein sinnloses Unterfangen sein dürfte…) am Firmengelände…

pfSense vs simple Router
August 28th, 2008 by Stargazer
Network management can be quite amazing for the end user – believe me. I could see it during the last days as I have had to replace one of the old Zyxel routers. For being able to manage the traffic I have decided to use the pfSense firewall as it’s able to do NTP, DNS, Proxy services and DHCP.
Since I have replaced the old router, most users think that we have upgraded the Internet connection, which isn’t true at all – but how come?

YouTube selfmade – Part 2
August 21st, 2008 by Stargazer
As promised in the first part, we want to do the stunt ourselves – but as I do not own a copy of Flash nor someone was willing to donate a license, I have to do it in PHP using the MING Library. But let’s stop ranting and get down to a text editor:

ming_useswfversion(7);
$movie=new SWFMovie(7);
$movie->setDimension(480, 360);
