The Emperor’s New Clothes
Finally, as of today, Marco Luthe Online! has a new face! After altering Sadish Bala’s Mistylook theme for a long, long time (it was the only theme i’ve been using up until now, and I stayed with version 1.0.1!), I have decided to give this website a whole new look. Welcome the Cover WP Theme by One Designs – which, of course, I also had to slightly alter. Here are some of the adjustments I made: changed the number of pages shown in the horizontal navigation > 6, added a latest tweet container above the horizontal navigation, placed the search bar higher, used the “featured” container for “recently updated” posts, added number of posts per category and for the archive in the sidebar, shortened the archive to just as many … Read entire article »

Was tun bei Nasennebenhöhlenentzündung? [de]
Laut medizinfo.de wird jeder siebte Deutsche einmal im Jahr von einer Nasennebenhöhlenentzündung (Sinusitis) heimgesucht. Diese ist äußerst unangenehm und äußert sich bei mir folgendermaßen: Schmerzen, wenn man auf den Wangenknochen unterhalb des Auges drückt, der Schmerz nimmt zu, wenn man den Kopf nach vorne/unten beugt, der Kopf ist “dicht”, häufig begleitet von Schnupfen, (druck)empfindliche Zähne im Oberkiefer. Da ich des öfteren einmal davon betroffen bin, hier meine Tipps, wie ich bisher erfolgreich dagegen angehen konnte – vielleicht kann das einigen helfen: Morgens und abends je eine Nasenspülung (äußerst hilfreich!) – am besten dafür geeignetes Salz verwenden. Dies ist zwar relativ teuer, aber dafür ist man auf der sicheren Seite. Es ist nämlich gar nicht so einfach, eine isotonische Kochsalzlösung selber herzustellen, da normale Speisesalze häufig Zusatzmittel enthalten, die in der … Read entire article »

How To Backup Your GMail-Account
I must admit, up ’til 10 minutes ago, I had a very complicated eMail structure. All but one of my non-GMail accounts that I use were redirected to my main non-GMail account where all incoming eMails were stored and a copy was sent to my GMail account. The reason for saving them separately in that account was to download them via Thunderbird POP3 to have a local copy of all my eMails. Plus: I use GMail in 99.99% of all cases, because I really like the nice and easy interface. So, to have a local copy of my OUTGOING messages, I always BCC’ed myself to my non-GMail (storage) account. “WTF?”, you might think… “Why not use GMail IMAP instead?” And you are right! I don’t even know why I had … Read entire article »

How To Make Firefox Virus Scan Downloaded Files
Today, I was just thinking… “How can I make Firefox virus scan the files I download?” I have always been using Avira’s free software AntiVir Personal, which I think is pretty good. So far, I have never had neither a virus nor a worm on my computer (thank God!). Unfortunately, I had problems integrating the avscan.exe (as described here) into the Download Status Bar extension for Firefox: I always got a “Profile could not be found” error from AntiVir. A quick Google search took me to an article on netzwelt.de which recommends using a free virus scanner called ClamWin (BTW: the article is from 2006). The solution was found: Just let the Download Status Bar know where your clamwin.exe is at and put the parameters to –mode=scanner –path=%1 –close. Works … Read entire article »

Finally Married!
On June 7th, 2009, we finally got married in Australia! [Update from 2009-06-23] I started uploading some wedding pics on my Flickr account (and will be doing that until the end of time, I reckon). They are not public (only for family and friends), so you will need a (free) Flickr account – contact me within Flickr. Also, thanks to Diana who provided her pictures in a nice album at tabblo.com here, here and here. … Read entire article »

Disqus Comments Not Yet Working With Ping-/Trackbacks
June 25th, 2010 | View Comments
It seems like the Disqus Comment System plugin for WordPress does not import ping- and trackbacks, yet (see this link). Quoting the response to my eMail that I wrote to the Disqus Heldpesk: Hi Marco, Trackbacks are currently not being included as comments, we’re sorry for the inconvenience. We’re looking into right now and will be addressed in one of our upcoming updates. You can catch these updates on our blog at http://blog.disqus.com Thanks, Ryan (end of quote) It seems as if we have to wait a little longer for that feature. [Update from 2010-07-09] Until they have found a method to include ping-/trackbacks, I will use a little workaround based on the WordPress database. [Update from 2011-01-03] It seems like the Disqus Comment System had a major overhaul, which … Read entire article »
