What makes a good developer?

17th of September 2010AllgemeinAndreas Heigl

One Day comes the question, what differentiates the good developer from a really good developer.

At that stage the question is not any more whether you can code or even which language it is you code best. Of course you have a “preferred” language that you know very well, but it should only be a matter of weeks to learn a new language from scratch as the principles are more or less the same in all languages.

From Hamburg to Switzerland, from one hardware to another, from plesk to cpanel, from one database-cluster to another one, in Short, more or less everything changed.

Hopefully everything still runs as smooth as the last months.

TV-Browser and Growl

Ever wanted to find an electronic TV-Guide?

Some time ago I found TV-Browser. Very nice Tool.

One fancy feature was the Growl-Integration on MacOS-X. Well at least until TV-Browser 2.7. Somehow the integration of Growl was broken under MacOS X 10.4.

The complete information about this can be found in the TV-Browser-Forum

Well at least until yesterday.

I implemented this Patch and – voila – Growl notification works as expected.

For those who do not want to go through the hassle of compiling the plugin themselves:

Here you can download the compiled plugin that works for me under MacOS-X 10.4.11

Hello world!

9th of February 2008Allgemeinhello, java, phpAndreas Heigl

So.

This is my first ‘real’ blog.

Let’s see, what it will bring.

I hope to find the time to write some stuff about the things I know. The chances are fair that it will include some words about PHP, Java, Gardening or Renovating our home.

Feel free to read and comment.
