Slowly getting somewhere

After months of preparing portalZINE TV, I think that the concept has matured quiet a bit. Building up a WebTV network in Germany is still a daunting task, as support is still really limited. You have to knock on a lot of doors over and over again to get any response sometimes. And as funding happens out of my empty pockets, its not really getting any easier LOL

Many companies can still hardly understand the benefit of presenting themselves on a WebTV show and especially can not imagine to sponsor it.

I have contact with more than 100 companies, which include software, hardware and service providers. I hope to be pushing our boundaries a bit more in season 2, now that we know how to shoot and edit ;)

Really hope to get mimmatec TV and outdoorMIX TV running in the coming months, so that we can really have a stable set of 3 channels running.

Main focus is portalZINE TV for now, focusing more on the DIY projects and Tipps & Tricks.

Cebit 2009 is not that far away anymore and 2009 we will be touring the ground for at least 3 days. Really hope to be able to present some nice live coverage.

I will have more exciting news soon, but can not talk about some of the things yet :)

When it comes to my development environment I have always been really picky. I need a clean and structured interface, not to cluttered, but still adjustable to my needs. I have tested countless IDE solutions in the past, but always seem to come back to Komodo from ActiveState.

Forcetype becomes Sethandler

Anyone getting frustrated with ForceType on Apache 2 will have to use SetHandler to make it work.

Apache 1.x htaccess

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

Apache 2.x htaccess

SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

Force www using htaccess

If you want to prevent google to provide duplicate content from you,  you can easily force www for your domains by simply using a small rewrite rule for the htaccess.

Changes

The dev site will be closed down. Will be merging the project pages over to this webpage.

This page will be my global blog for anything I like to share :), in English or German.

Will be concentrating on my custom work over at portalZINE Pro and the portalZINE TV website.

Cheers
