Show PL/SQL compile-time errors in ISQL
Developing PL/SQL in a webinterface is a pain... ok, developing anything in a webinterface is a pain but if you still one of those lucky people out there and could kill ISQL for not displaying any compile-time errors, here is a small hint I found after googling a little bit:

document.images[i].complete?
While messing around with JavaScript to build a small frontend for my book collection I came to the point where I wanted a fallback solution if a book doesn't have an image associated with it. Sure, I could simply set a flag in the XML-file including my book collection, but I wanted to solve this with JavaScript. So I found the attribute complete of document.images[i].

New Technorati Beta site
There seems to be a new version of the Technorati page in development using quite a lot JavaScript and many rounded corners ;-) Even their Google Ads bar looks nice. Apart from the optical redesign there are also some new features like the extended tag interface which for example lets you choose between getting a list of tags using the roman alphabet or tags from all languages... although there are 2 tags written in an asian language in the a-z listing... perhaps I've just misunderstood this tab :P If you now search for a tag you get related data from flickr, buzznet, delicious and furl.

WinTV PVR-150 on Linux
Part of my new PC is a WinTV PVR-150 which I bought for recording TV shows etc. since I don't have a recorder in my room and also don't plan to buy something like that. I've actually also come quite far in getting it to work but now I'm stuck... But first a small description of what I've done until now:

CUPS in client/server mode
This weekend I found a nice little feature in CUPS that helps and probably also will help me a lot in the future: You can run CUPS also only as a client application by adding following line to your $HOME/.cupsrc

Registering a not existing trademark as username ...
There are strange things and there are stupid things... and sometimes there are strange stupid things. For example in the german weblogging scene there are now quite some articles about the forum ironsport.de where a user registered using a nickname that is a registered trademark by some company [link]... at least that's what some lawyer claimed. As prove were simple google listings used which basically included the indexed forum posts of the user *g* The admin of that forum got exactly 3 days time to sign a declararation of omission (I hope this is the right term ;-) ), pay more than 5000EUR and remove the user and all references to the name from his board.

Urban gaming
Thanks to Eric Meyer I found this nice article about urban gaming. Before this article I always thought that it would be fun to run around playing real-world-pacman but I never thought that there were already games like this going on out there :-) Esp. playing RPGs could be damn cool. I just home that no one gets the idea of playing Quake3 in real live and thinking it's just a game :-? But pacman in Klagenfurt? Where can I get a pacman costume? :-)

Yahoo buying blo.gs
Seems like Yahoo has bought the ping service blo.gs. It really looks like the big companies out there are finally interested in the good community services out there. First Blogger, then Bloglines, then Yahoo! ... We could start playing a game guessing who is next to be aquired and by whome ;-) The problem is... I don't really know and big community services anymore...

Bloglines vs. Rojo
After having used Bloglines for some months as my primary RSS client I decided to use only one machine for working anymore so using a webbased RSS reader became pointless for me so I went back to Liferea. A few weeks after that I learned about Rojo.com and liked the screenshots in the tour but never had to the time or the motivation to try it out.
