It's much cheaper though if I make them myself. We have the necessary equipment on board our space station :D

I'll see if I can put it on t-shirts, maybe in b/w only. Dunno how it'll work out. :)

I have had adequate results with vim and http://www.vim.org/s...t.php?script_id=1506

Naturally I recommend vim because I don't use anything else.

So I have decided to hold the meeting on Sunday, August 30, at 5 pm. This is a good day for me, and a good time also.

I will bring a few mugs for the participants.

See you on Sunday!

maybe it's the other way round: the people with a higher BMI are more likely to become gamers, or the depressive types prefer virtual worlds...

Living Room / Second official DC Germany meet-up
« Last post by housetier on August 18, 2009, 06:06 PM »
I want to announce the upcoming DC Germany meet-up in Berlin. It will happen between Agust 20th and 31st. This is on rather short notice but I only just remembered to post this.

Anyway, to quickly find a date I created a doodle... erm date-finding thing.

hadez and I are already in, regardless of the date. So if you prefer a certain day, mark it so. The day with the most votes wins. It propably won't be the 20th or 21st, though ;)

MilesAhead, I know what you mean.

But as a keyboard user I am quicker typing the word, than using the mouse to click for highlighting. In vimperator it's just this "t d whatever": this will open dict.cc with the search term whatever in a new tab.

However, I know some people are very good with their mouse so it is good they can choose whatever method they prefer :)

General Software Discussion / Re: All Programming is Web Programming
« Last post by housetier on August 14, 2009, 04:08 PM »
I prefer (programming) web interfaces over graphical interfaces. It is just more portable, platform-independent, and whatnot.

Also I know much more about HTML than about qt, gtk, winforms, or whatever widget set is out there.

Of course, with javascript on the rise, more "powerful" web applications will be created, which will, in turn, bring some of the complexity to the web. However, I think this is not so much a problem because HTML is scalable: you can make do without the "power" of the gui.

If such a site has a search field, I use the keyworded bookmark feature from FF: just right-click in the field and select "Add a keyword for this search", give it a name and a keyword, preferably a short one.

Since the awesome bar also searches your bookmarks you can now directly open search results: just type in the keyword, a space, and the search term as you would enter them in the input field, and finally hit enter.

Of course this does not add anything to list of search engines... however, I never used that extra input field anyway, since I am much quicker typing "keyword search terms<enter>" than "ctrl+k search terms, click to select engine, <enter>". The bookmark-approach works very well with the almighty vimperator  :Thmbsup:

However, some sites such as denic.de have built their search form thus you need javascript to submit it. I find this very bad behavior, and it breaks the keyword search...

Coding Snacks / Re: IDEA: Create text phone number from phone number
« Last post by housetier on August 13, 2009, 07:24 AM »
I tried my phone number but the results where not good enough. However, when I tried the phone number of my club they couldn't find anything at all :) I guess it has too many zeros.

This service should be available for Germans too, maybe then my phone number would yield better results.

General Software Discussion / Re: How big is the HTML 'hidden' field?
« Last post by housetier on August 11, 2009, 01:28 PM »
md5 does not have a limit of the input data. That is what I meant with "regardless of input size": no matter how much or how little data you provide as input, you always get a result that is 128 bits long.

I strongly suggest you upgrade to php5. If you deal with such large amounts of data, php5 will be much better.

There used to be a setting under edit>preferences>advanced>update, but I don't see it anymore in my FF3.5.1

MD5 are 128bit or 16byte long, regardless of input size.

can't you store a hash value in the hidden field and compare that with the new hash from the textarea? that way, you can easily store the data in the hidden field.

Mircryption / Re: AES-256 less secure than AES-128
« Last post by housetier on August 01, 2009, 09:55 PM »
I heard this as well from a friend who knows the crypty stuff. He also assured me to use aes-128 over aes-256.

be sure to check that SelectedWhatever is not null. Never trust user input and even a selected radio button is user input.

This sounds interesting. I hope there is something in it for me too, even though I am not a college student. But you are never too old to learn something, or so they say :)

go check out asp:RadioButtonList, it has a bunch of properties that start with "Selected"

Some time ago (years, but how many?) I read about a file manager that gives you several "views" on your files: you have a calendar view with color-coded entries showing which project's files were worked on; you assign files to projects (nowadays one would say tags), filter by projects, date, age, and so on.

But I can't for the time of my life remember the name!  >:(

It was for Linux though...
