I am now Trusted Player Level 3, mostly because I want to use ESL TV - until now, I have never had an ESL match… maybe that’s gonna change in the future.

Für meine deutschen Leser, die sich alle schon einmal selber die Frage gestellt haben:

Ist Ohrenschmalz das gleiche wie der normale Ess-Schmalz?

Hier gibt es endlich die Antwort!

Also, ich würde mir sowas nicht aufs Brot schmieren:

I just added “http://ping.feedburner.com” to Settings > Writing > Update Services. Although it seems to be integrated into rpc.pingomatic.com already, I hope this helps updating the feeds if the latter one does not work - also see http://blogs.feedburner.com/feedburner/archives/000478.html.

Today, I have purchased a 2 GB SD-Card so that I could install a mobile version of the Wikipedia encyclopedia on my PDA (Medion MD 41600). A friend has told me about this possibility (special thanks to Huy-Linh Bui) - it worked, and it is very simple!

Did I already mention that I love the CommentLUV plugin?

That’s the reason why I try to make some modifications if I find a problem which will hopefully improve its handling and functionality. I am glad that I could already add my 2 cents that made it into the current version. As of now, I thought it would be nice to write an article of my own instead of just contributing via comment on Andy’s blog.

I just received an eMail from Andy Bailey, author of the CommentLUV plugin, where he announces the first contest for CommentLUV users.

To put it briefly, here is a quote from the contest page:

All anyone has to do to be in with a chance of winning is leave a relevant comment on any of your posts during the contest. This should increase comments to ALL the blogs who are CommentLuv enabled and give everyone the chance to win some great prizes simply by being part of your community. (end of quote)

Yesterday, on Sunday, October 26th, 2008, DST (= Daylight Saving Time) has ended in some countries. Since WordPress still doesn’t adjust DST automatically, you should set the UTC offset back one hour within your WP settings page - or you try Kimmo Suominen’s WordPress plugin TimeZone.

[Update from 2008-11-10]
You can also use Otto’s WordPress plugin Automatic Timezone - but note that you should have PHP5 installed for that one.

“Twitter Updater” by Ingo “Ingoal” Hildebrandt is a nice WordPress plugin that sends an update to your Twitter account (a so-called “Tweet”) whenever a post is published and/or edited.

Unfortunately, some things still don’t seem to work:

• Tweets are also send even if you only save a draft (due to the “save_post” hook).
• Scheduled (future) posts do not “fire” a tweet… instead, nothing happens.
• If I remember correctly, there were problems with slashes in the post title.
