According to the german news site heise.de Microsoft announced to mark all e-mails sent to hotmail or MSN accounts that don't have a Sender-ID as potential SPAM starting with this november. Given the controverial nature of the Sender-ID system this step is a really stupid way of forcing a not-wanted system onto everyone.

Marko DugonjiÄ about MSIE CSS hacks
Marko DugonjiÄ has posted a really nice listing of some IE CSS hacks on his weblog :-) There he describes things like conditional comments, parser hacks to solve the box model problem in IE 5.x and other useful stuff :-) Esp. the display:inline trick could become quite interesting for me in the future ;-)

RMI Tutorial
Was ist RMI? RMI bedeuted "Remote Method Invokation" und dient dazu, Dienste auf einem Rechner anzubieten, die dann von einem anderen Rechner in Anspruch genommen werden können. Bei diesen Diensten handelt es sich um Java-Objekte die dann am Clientrechner direkt in lokale Variablen eingebunden werden können.
Wenn jedoch eine Methode dieses Objektes ausgeführt werden soll, dann wird diese auf dem "Server" ausgeführt und das Ergebnis dann an den Client übermittelt.

How to backup and restore databases with phpMyAdmin
Warning note:: This article was written a long time ago and therefor is based on a really old version of phpMyAdmin. The basic ideas should be the same, but I will still try to update this article within the next week (today is the 22nd of July 2006) to use 2.8.x.## Where can I get phpMyAdmin? You can get phpMyAdmin here: [http://www.phpmyadmin.net](http://www.phpmyadmin.net) The package includes a Documentation.txt that explains how to install it on your server. (Sorry, but this isn't meant as a tutorial how to install phpMyAdmin as this is already well documented.) -------------------------------Backup procedure Note This tutorial is based on phpMyAdmin 2.5.4. The GUI of this tool changes from version to version but the basics have stayed the same for quite some time now.
- Open phpMyAdmin with your webbrowser and enter your database account data to access your database.
-
Now you can see a drop down menu in the left frame of phpMyAdmin where you select your database. <
-
In the header of the right frame you should now see Export. Click it :-)
- Now you see a multiline selection field where you can select tables to be backed up. If you select no table or all tables then the backup stores the whole database.
-
Select on the right side the "Structure" and "Data" option and below the selection field "Add 'drop table'" , "Complete inserts" , " Extended inserts" , " Enclose table and field names with backquotes" and "Save as file". If you have also "zipped" and "gzipped" there you can get a smaller backup file. In the left field select "SQL" if it's not already selected.
- When you now click on Go a download popup should appear for your backup :-)
Restoration procedure
Note: This tutorial is based on phpMyAdmin 2.5.4. The GUI of this tool changes from version to version but the basics have stayed the same for quite some time now.
- Open phpMyAdmin with your webbrowser and enter your database account data to access your database.
-
Now you can see a drop down menu in the left frame of phpMyAdmin where you select your database.
-
In the header of the right frame there should be a button "SQL". Click it :-)
-
Below a text field there should be a smaller field with a "Browse..." button on its right side. When you click it appears a file select popup. Here you select your database backup file and finally click on "Go".
- If there are no error messages that should have done it :-)
My database is bigger than 1MB
<strong>Note:</strong>1MB is just a number. Every host can have set the upload limit to a different size. Some have 1MB, some 2MB and so on. If you notice any timeout errors or things that somehow look like something like that, this section is for you ;-)
If your backup file is bigger than 1MB it is possible that it is too big to be uploaded in one piece with phpMyAdmin. The upload limit is different on every host, so better ask your host before making too many chunks of the backup If your file is bigger than the allowed limit you have to split it up into smaller chunks. There are some tools that can do it for you but we want to do it here the hard way
- Open the backup file in a text editor that supports bigger files. For example VIM.
- Nearly every line ends with a ;. These are the points where you can split the file. Simply copy/paste everything after a specific ; into another file.
- Be sure to give those files useful names so that you can insert them in the right order into the database later.

Technorati Embeds
Technorati has now released the new Embeds Javascript which you can include in your weblog if you've claimed your weblog. IIRC previously the whole script only produces a link to your profile. Now you can configure it to also include a small search box and a referrers link :-) If you've wondered what this "Technorati" box in the menu here is: That's it ;-) For now I've only tried the search box which seems to work quite well.

Nie wieder L
Pfu, also ich glaube, das war das letzte Mal, dass ich beim L**** ein Videospiel gekauft habe. Doch mal zur Vorgeschichte: Gestern sehe ich in einem L****-Katalog, dass sie Killzone für 19.90EUR anbieten. "Schön", denke ich und beschließe es mir heute in der früh zu kaufen. Zugegeben, es ist nicht wirklich das beste Spiel (zumindest wenn man nach den Magazinen da draussen geht), aber für 19.90EUR ist es mir auch relativ egal ob es nur mittelmässig ist, solange zumindest die Story spannend ist.

WP Tiger Administration
After having read about the alternative admin interface Tiger by Steven Smith on orderedlist.com I now dared the step and installed it ;-) Steven Smith has created a really nice admin interface which is very easy to use and also simply looks great :-) Very simplistic, no images... simply great :-) If you have a WordPress weblog I'd recommend that you at least give it a try. It's quite easy to install. Actually it's like a plugin: Extract the zip, put the wp-admin-tiger folder into the plugins folder and activate it in the plugins-page of the admin panel. Voilß .

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.

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...
