“Batman – The Dark Knight” 2-Disc Batmask Edition
Image: amazon.co.uk I just discovered this nice “Batman – The Dark Knight” 2-Disc Batmask Edition at amazon.co.uk for ca. £18, and my heart (a collector’s one) instantly skipped a beat – especially when you consider the current exchange rate with the Euro. But after reading the reviews, I have decided NOT to buy it. They state – of course – a brilliant movie… but the packaging seems to be poor, and the Batmask actually is no real “for-the-face” batmask: the DVD-case has the shape of a batmask. What a pity… … Read entire article »

Christmas, Engagement, A New Year And Future Plans
Well, that was an interesting ending of 2008: On Christmas Eve 2008, Suzan Summer Ghantous said “Yes” after I asked her the magic question (which I am sure you can figure out yourself)! Suzan Summer Ghantous, I love you from the bottom of my heart! After she had recovered from the shock, we had some nice holidays at my parents and a lovely New Year’s Eve at Tim’s. Now, we have to plan our wedding which is supposed to happen in Australia in June 2009. I wish all my readers as much luck as I have and a Happy New Year 2009! … Read entire article »

The Domain That Does Not Exist… Actually Exists!
Recently, I was leaving a fake comment on my blog that I wanted to declare as spam to see if my newest plugin would work. As eMail-address, I wanted to use a domain that did not exist. The first one that came to my mind was thisdomaindoesnotexist.com – which actually does. So, I had to use .net instead of .com – that really does NOT exist (so far). … Read entire article »

Google Reader And Embedded Flash Objects
It seems like Google Reader is a little picky when it comes to including and showing embedded flash videos: YouTube movies seem to work fine, but I do not get it to show some other flash movies, e.g. the one shown on wordpress.org for WP 2.7: that one shows fine on my blog as well as on the Feedburner feed – but even though I use the same code for it as I use for YouTube videos, it won’t show in Google Reader. Take a look at this post in Google Groups. [Update from 2008-12-17] OK, here is the answer to my problem (quoting): We have taken a whitelist approach to embedded video, thus we’ll need to include WordPress for its embeds to show up. This should happen in the … Read entire article »

Google Gears Slowing Down WordPress Editor?
Recently, I had the strange feeling that my WordPress editor reacted a little VERY slowly when creating a new post. So, I used the Firefox addon Live HTTP Headers to see what was going on – and found the culprit: every time I opened the editor, Google Gears was pretty busy connecting and downloading. After deactivating it, everything works smoothly again now. Well, I might be wrong, but isn’t Google Gears supposed to speed things up rather than slowing everything down? … Read entire article »
