New DVW screenshots


digitalbreed framework


I am getting dumb of writing the same code over and over, so I am finally in the process of setting up a C++ framework with core functionality I use in almost every project: macros (e.g. assertions), helper functions (e.g. pattern matching), serialization, virtual file system, XML support,… Some of the stuff is extracted from what I wrote for DVW, the VFS and XML stuff in particular.

I am thinking about writing more articles on this, like I did for the serialization part. Let me know whether you’d like to read more so that I can estimate whether it’s worth the effort. I would start with the VFS and head over to XML support.

Du bist Deutschland


Du bist Deutschland

d034058 put some thought into the “Du bist Deutschland” (”You are Germany”) campaign by leading German media companies. He photographed to what a German citizen is reduced to by recent German government efforts: his biometric data. Great idea. (License: CC BY-NC-SA, via: Weblog von stefan)

A bugfixed Bookmarks Displayer Widget


I upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1 today due to some major security issues (German link) and was reminded that one of my widgets was not working correctly. Nathan Oliphant wrote this widget to display bookmarks in the sort order of the users choosing. Unfortunately, it had two minor bugs which 1. caused changes not to be made persistent correctly with recent WordPress versions and 2. broke proper sort order selection. I fixed those bugs and added optional support for Ozh’s Click Counter plugin.

Again, here’s a direct link for your convenience, tested with WordPress 2.5.1:
