Google Mail Contacts is my personal killer app
Serious!!! Once again: it syncs with the iPhone address book. I use it for reverse look up (phone number to address book entry) together with my telephone system in my home office, and that’s build around an AVM “FRITZ!Box“. The glue software got implemented by myself in ruby (w/o Rails). Why ruby? I thought, I…

my own “tiny” Facebook security leak
I started using a Facebook “Profile Badge” here on this blog quite a while ago. Today I noticed, that all my Facebook status updates got shown here on that Profile Badge in the right column of this blog.

I personally really have been loving the Art of Command Line Processing for a very, very long time. During one of my last projects (it was actually mainly using p*th*n as programming language because of some rather weird…

comparison of web application frameworks on en.wikipedia.org
I was cleaning up my Google bookmarks, came across Maypole, tried to look it up, and came across a comparison of web application frameworks on en.wikipedia.org, that includes the perl approaches. My humble suggestion:members of the respective perl communities add resp. maintain their entries to / within that table. mojolicious came to my mind at…

me at LinuxTag.org/2010
This is me and Ignacio Correas Usón (the “men in red”), “Mr. ebox”, at the Perl Booth. He is seriously seeking business partners in Germany for the ebox.

my first scrubyt extractor
Followed this wiki article. Had to install XPather and DOM Inspector in Firefox (quite common plugins), and also FireWatir, as described on this blog. Back-quotes and forward-quotes within that article are just simple-quotes instead. To be continue …

Followed this wiki article. The list of “files attached” is truely broken, but the official installation guide helps.

installing scrubyt from Github on openSUSE-11.2
Followed this blog article. Had to install rpm libxml2-devel, not just libxml2. Had to install rpm libxslt-devel, not just libxslt.
