• vi(m) rulez!

  May 8, 2008 I don't like those bloatware IDEs like Eclipse etc. It's just too oversized for most of my projects. My favorite tool for writing code is vim (Vi iMproved). And it comes with so many neat features, like code completion, for example.

• Change Typoscript values at parsetime

  Mar 1, 2008 Typoscript properties in the CONFIG section are usually defined once and at a certain point. But what if you have defined the value of a property at some place and like to add another one later in the parsing process?

• addPItoST43?

  Feb 20, 2008 TYPO3 sometimes drives me nuts. It happens that I come across cryptic function or property names, using them over and over again without having a clue, what its name stands for. t3lib_extMgm::addPItoST43() is one of them, although it is part of almost a billion TYPO3 extensions...

• Simulating conditions with pure HTML/CSS

  Oct 24, 2007 I just stumbled over a collection of Typoscript by Bernd Wilke. Maybe it is helpful for someone http://www.pi-phi.de/t3v4/25.html (page in german language)

• Broken pdfinfo shipped with Zotero [fixed]

  Oct 10, 2007 To index and search PDF files within Zotero, you need the Xpdf tool pdfinfo. As it seems that most versions of pdfinfo are either not compatible with Zotero or broken otherwise, I decided to build it from scratch and provide it for download.

• Zotero as reference management software

  Oct 10, 2007 Searching and collecting research sources without an appropriate method and tool might lead into time-consuming confusion. Looking for a way to avoid a growing unstructured collection of 3x5 cards/files, I stumbled over the reference management software Zotero. And it rocks!
