Tooling

Yesterday I was asked to document the transition from the pure, simple bootScore site to a fancy one. The latest version alone would not visualize its predecessors. True! To solve that issue, I should integrate a slider showing them as a series of images. And indeed, doing so would also be an opportunity to evaluate […]

I had set up my old site, fodina.de bilingual. With the help of WP-Globus. As nice as this worked for years, at last WP-Globus got lost. Thoroughly! When I edited the German text, it made the English disappear. And vice versa. Something like that shall not happen to me again. The restoration was complex and […]

A footer is an area for more off-beat references. They are more offside insofar as our readers expect to get access to what they came for — directly after a page is loaded, directly on top of it. At the bottom — where they first have to scroll — they are looking for minor aspects. […]

What is important is in the eye of the beholder. A lawyer would perhaps include the imprint, the image credits, or the data protection concept. And not to forget: the open source compliance artifacts. The reader, on the other hand, would see it differently! She wants content. Entertainment. Real ‘content’. Not this legal gobbledygook.

Search engines don’t like gossipy key wording, but they love well-filled sitemaps. But they detest broken links.

Somewhat frustrated , I have to add that embedding ‘own’ HTML code into a WordPress/Gutenberg block via ‘Edit as HTML’ occasionally destroys the type and content of the block : If the code is suspect to the Gutenberg editor, it replaces the work already done with an empty HTML block . Annoying if you just […]

SEO encompasses a lot. One means of Search Engine Optimization is the semantic tagging of sections, which became possible with HTML5. bootScore is very well positioned here.

The form of my scope list convinced me to talk about Font Awesome Icons and custom CSS classes in bootScore, first. A pure HTML list is ugly, in my case: downright unreadable. No amount of rewording or restructuring helped. Shortening it was not an option either. It should continue to function as a complete scope […]

That I would have to give up YAML-CSS had quickly become clear to me at the beginning of the year. What I should replace it with, not. I wanted to stay with WordPress. And to recycle my old content. So, all I had to do was to replace the theme. Theoretically!

Recently I wrote about the ‘expiring’ editor Atom. Now I’ve stumbled upon another dead horse in my stable: YAML CSS. That has nothing to do with YAML ain’t Markup Language. It’s a modular CSS framework for truly responsive websites. For years, it served me faithfully, first in Typo3, then on WordPress. And now?

The Atom page says: “Atom and all repositories under Atom will be archived on December 15, 2022″. The “hackable text editor for the 21st Century”, developed by GitHub — “[…] had not had significant feature development for the past several years” and that GitHub has therefore “[…] decided to retire Atom” in favor for “Microsoft […]

Under Ubuntu 22.04, Frescobaldi starts with an error: The area for displaying the music sheets says that Frescobaldi unexpectedly passes an argument of the type float to a function in qpageview /highlight.py respectively qpageview/shadow.py. Now, the user can ‘google’ for the cause — or read the following lines

After having updated to Ubuntu 22.04, I recently wanted to reactivate my music work environment. But when I installed Musescore‑3 and let it play my music score, I got an ugly mess of background noises. And I could not add any soundfont. Obviously, I faced two obstacles that I had to overcome

By releasing the Open Source License Compendium and the Open Source Compliance Advisor, Deutsche Telekom has already supported the task to deal with Open Source Compliance. But DT offers so many and complex Open Source based products that it is too expensive to create the necessary Open Source compliance artifacts manually. Thus, DT needs a […]

I am a loyal soul. But my patience is limited: On Ubuntu 20.04, the tips from Eclipse are displayed in black on black. Hmm. Markdown editors are cumbersome. Oops. And the ‘spell-check’ for German-English texts still doesn’t work. Grrr. So, it is time to conquer new frontiers: everyone is already talking about ‘Atom’. Let us […]

Today, the German Corona-Warn-App was released. It was received positively, even at Spiegel and Welt. The German government wanted it to be developed as open-source software for increasing the acceptance of the app by the German people. Unfortunately, there is still some skepticism. Let me comment on some of these concerns:
