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
Alexander

Looking at some data packages for the internet experience on the go. Things are really heating up here in Germany and mobile flatrates are finally getting affordable.

T-Mobile, Vodafone and O2 are the providers I am currently checking out. Seems like I will be choosing O2.

Summer break is over :)

I am back after a summer break. Really had to lay low a bit and concentrate on work and enjoy some free time / vacation :) Had a beautiful trip to southern France with my family, which actually was my first real vacation after almost 10 years. I am planning to consolidate all my websites over the next months and make them more integrated again.

portalZINE TV will get most of my attention, as I am starting with our second season. Season 2 will feature more Tipps & Tricks segments and our first DIY segments in October.The first season allowed us to experiment, the second will be more targetted and more releaxed ;)

Really looking forward to a nice autumn start.

Cheers
Alexander

Full Pass of Acid3

Webkit passes Acid3 test.

“Today we would like to announce that WebKit is the first browser engine to fully pass Acid3. A while back, we posted
that we scored 100/100 and matched the reference rendering. Now, thanks
to recent speedups in JavaScript, DOM and rendering, we have passed the
third condition, smooth animation on reference hardware. “

Death to JavaScript Rock Stars!

I normally don’t get involved in such discussions anymore, but could not keep my mouth shut.

Not really sure why anyone complained about the rockstar. I thought it was a fresh approach. I was laughing when I heard that people brought the design down. Really, some people need to loosen up ;)

That design never compromised any corporate promises or lead into a wrong impression of what jQuery was and will be. If you can not sell jQuery to your customers because its frontpage is to flashy, you are doing something wrong :)

For anyone actively using a javascript lib, what counts is its ability to reach goals, not how its frontpage looks.

Sorry but a flashier website just pulls in more people , than the current crippled left over. All that talk about script kiddies, that is how innovation happens, how new blood and new ideas enrich a project. Projects that close their door to the so called script kiddies, loose spirit fast. Not just talking here, I actually witnessed it multiple times.

I have been a jQuery fan from the beginning and sad to see a cool fresh design get pulled down by its community. I am sure the jQuery team stood behind the new design and that is what counts.

Well just my to cents.

And guys keep up the good work.

Cheers
Alexander
