In just a few hours to CSS Reboot Fall 2005 and until I will roll out the new design for zerokspot.com. I'm honestly quite excited since the design is more or less finished for at least a month and I personally really like it. It's definitely the design I put the most time and consideration into.

Some plans for the next couple of days
-
First of all I want to port all the articles from the docs-section into this weblog and also update their content. The links will nevertheless remain andI will perhaps also create PDF versions so that the printing should look nicer ;) This way I will also be able to mess a little bit around with LaTeX and watermarks.

Some small changes
I was quite happy with v4.1 as long as CSSReboot wasn't there, but now I thought the header was way too high so I made it a little bit smaller :) If you prefer the old style, simply select it from the "View" -> "Page Styles" menu in Firefox :)

Firefox 1.5 RC1
With a few hours delay the first release candidate of Firefox 1.5 has now finally been released :) Hell, it's even so new, that there are still some old references to Beta2 on the Mozilla.org site ;) If you're using one of the later nightly builds (for example from Oct. 25th) you won't get an update notification so you have to download and install it manually. Perhaps a build-date based check as an addition to the version check would have been nice ;)

Eating in Tarvisio: Hotel Haberl
I've just returned from a short trip over the boarder to have some dinner in Tarvisio (Italy) in a restaurant were our family used to eat quite often in the past. To be precise: I'd say it was once a month or something like that. Then we found some alternatives and moved on. Today my mom and I wanted to try the Hotel/Restaurant Haberl (situated in the upper part of the town) once again after it has been renovated.

Thunderbird and MacOSX's Address Book using LDAP?
Has anyone other there already tried to use LDAP as some kind of compatibility layer between Mozilla Thundebird and Tiger's Address Book? I'm currently thinking about using Thunderbird (after getting a Powerbook first ;) ) since Mail.app seems not to support SOCKS proxies. But a shared address book would really be nice so I'm currently looking for options. Thanks to the Thunderbird documentation I now have some information on the LDAP schema used by Thunderbird, so I now need some documentation on what schema Apple's Address Book uses. If the information I've found here is still accurate, then at least the fields that are important for me (cn and mail) exist in both schemes. This should IMO do it.

Orderning a new era for me ;)
This morning I did something I would have thought being impossible just a year ago: I ordered a Mac. Or to be precise one of the new Powerbooks 12". This whole process also included two phone calles with Apple Austria: The first call was about if I have to buy AppleCare right when buying the notebook if I want to have it later or if I can wait a little bit (no money left ;)) which was answered by a very friendly support staff member positively. Since the 2nd call was related to a small problem I had during ordering and this not being really a common problem I won't say the details but just this: Again really friendly support.

REXML's Element#delete_element
Normallly you can use this method for deleting specific elements of a DOM-tree by passing their XPath or Element instance to this method. Since I thought: It's in the tree so I will simply delete it based from the respective Document#root ... not good ;) This will result in quite strange behaviour which alters for example the nodename of the parent element of the element to be removed. In my case I worked on a OPML file with following section:

NextGen consoles? Not yet for me ;)
After at least starting to listen to the latest "The Hot Spot" podcast by the Gamespot crew and browsing through various forums I still don't see why everyone is all so eager to get a Xbox360 or a PS3. Honestly they don't offer me anything really new but just more of the same and that more expensive.
