“if there is some development soundtrack for the work on TYPO3 it should be released under #TYPOvibes.”

What would fit into another tweet is just the explanation of the post title since it was about to be TYPO3 Twibes but that didn’t roll.

Nevertheless, a TYPO3 twitter user group just founded under http://www.twibes.com/group/TYPO3 by @jehu which seems to be really nice. Come and join.

find stuff you never searched for

dude it´s late and timewarp is coming so close. where to get the sleep from I´m wondering. Well, this night is blown away due to massive serendipity. WP Plugins are updated, some SSL proxy dancing around and of course a look into the twitter list, which is fatal if one´s about to sleep tight for at least an hour or so.

This post is about to reactivate the serendipity category for my blog which did exist in the old one. So here it is. And with it come some links out of the dozens of tabs my browser is braving tonight.

need to get that poster!

got fooled?

yesterday was a day that most people use to release stuff that is designed to fool you. the calendar puts this date to april 1st and we call it april´s fool. I just thought about whether or not i am supposed to feel bad about not being trapped with an april joke yesterday. Have you been fooled?

I think it is going to be really fooled in a time where every content is tagged and commented instantly and got the date stamped on it.

Two cool news that got my attention yesterday

  • Twitter switch for Guardian, after 188 years of ink
  • TYPO3 development licence sold – T3DD09 cancelled
  • I think there are a lot of good fooling news out there, I just hadn´t more time to look around – if you have good fooling links, you´re welcome to add them for me as comment.

    twitter on pidgin

    as some of you know, i´m fancy with the purple little chat client for all the platforms i use. you all should get yourself pidgin as replacement for closed source IM managers. yes, it has some little issues when it comes to multi-account management, but it´s still the best thing i know. if you´re using pidgin already, there is a good plugin that takes care of the encryption of text messages.

    be aware that most of the messengers like icq send messages in plain text – unsafe and open for everybody in between to read. change this with off-the-record messenging  (otr). There is a otr plugin for pidgin ready to use. install and activate the otr, then you can chat secretly and if you go the extra mile to verify your chat partner(s), you can be safe that there is no man in the middle – let the dirty talk begin. Click the otr-button next to the input field to activate – both must have it activated for success. but it´s up to you. something different was on my mind.

    today i reactivated my twitter account, not only to have it implemented into the blog. it also was annoying to have such a cool service in the web, but not using it regularly. It just feels odd to go to the twitter website and put stuff in it – that is not spontaneus. And there are many clients by now. I do not like more and more applications so i looked for pidgin plugins and there is! the best one (the one that hit the nail at first strike) is the microblog-purple plugin. just download it, install it and activate Twitgin in the plugins panel of your (hopefully restarted) pidgin.

    then you can add a new account of the type TwitterIM and saveyour twitter contact data. the minute you save that, you get all your tweets down to the chat window and can write own as if you where chattin´ with twitter.com. Thanks for this application(s)! :)
