The video takes place on the streets of New York City, features Americans, and is apparently devoted to the topic of denigrating women.

- blacktree-alchemy - Google Code
This project contains the source to Quicksilver and (eventually) other related projects. A few notes about the source trees: Trunk contains the most recent version of the source. It it still very experimental. A B5X branch contains the most recent release versions, but it is only changed for critical issues. All major work happens on the trunk.

Since Firefox 3.0 has a funky new Quicksilver-esque navigation bar, bookmarks are stored in a different place and in a different language. You have to ask Firefox 3.0 to export in the Firefox 2.0 style for Quicksilver to be effective.

- TeX Seite von Matthias Mühlich
Als TeX-niker ist man ja meist recht selbstsicher, daß man im Vergleich zur großen Schar der Word-Nutzer das viiiiiiel bessere Programm nutzt und zu einem, zugegebenermaßen kleinen, jedoch umso elitären Kreis gehört, der auch in Zeiten der Massenproduktion mit Computerschriftsatz noch problemlos typografisch hochwertige Erzeugnisse produzieren kann. Doch können wir eigentlich unseren Bekannten, die behaupten, mit Word könnten sie das genauso gut hinkriegen, das Gegenteil beweisen? Was gibt es denn an handfesten Belegen für unsere These?
- Who You Calling A Jesse?. How can Microformats help Higher Education
In higher education there are many issues that make a universal application or Microformats fairly difficult. But higher education web sites have so many consistent patterns in content and design along with a general attitude of openness that there is a huge opportunity that could be realized through the application of current and future Microformats.

Me, myself & I
I am a student of social science at the university of Goettingen, Germany.
My problem
After years of working with various computers and surfing the internet, I have a huge collection of emails, saved webpages, bookmarks, word-documents, other documents adresses in local and web adressbooks, zip files etc. Not to mention tons of paper , notices etc. And I have searched years for a way to organize these informations, which means a) finding the things i am searching for and b) establishing relationships between them.
...
The solution
After testing some wikkas i finally moved to wikka. I made some little hacks to improve configurability, but mainly I am contributing to
WikkaDocumentation.
Since february 2005 i am a member of the
wikka crew, where my topic of interest is mainly the documentation (big surprise, isn't it ;-)
My thoughts about Wikka
Although
WikkaWiki is now a very interesting pice of software, there are always things which could be done better. And because I do not want to talk only, I made some contributions to wikka in the three fields which seem the most important to me:
Documentation
There's no good representation without good documentation :)
The most important part for every project is a good documentation. This occurs to software, too. Not only for developers, but also for administrators and end-users. A documentation is only good if there are no questions remaining after reading it!
Configurability
Since people use wikka for many different purposes, wikka needs a maximum of configurability. My additions to that goal:
- UserRegistration: An admin can choose if registration is disallowed, allowed only if you know a register-code, or allowed for everyone. This option (and the registration code) are stored in the config
- StayingLoggedIn: Let the user choose if he wants to have permanent cookies with his name and password or only a session-based cookie (to be logged out when all browser windows are closed)
- AutomaticUserPageCreation let an admin choose to create the page of a new user after his creation. As a template any wikkapage can be used.
- PageAndCategoryDivisionInACategory seperation of pages and categories in the category action.
- CommentsFormatting allows some (basic) formatting in comments. Problem with backwards compatibility :(
Compatibility
To use Wikka to store informations it is necessary to be as compatible to other programms (and older versions of wikka) as possible. So that wikka becomes no information-oneway, but a "crossing point" ;-) My addition to that goal:
- HandleCsvData is a library which shall contain functions for, well, handling (reading, writing, sorting etc..) data from and to *.csv files
- ShowCsv is the first action using this library. It shows the content of a *.csv file as a html-table.
to be continued...
