Actually iceweasel is searching for a new logo.

When I updated a PC of our work group I recognized that iceweasel, iceape and icedove are searching for new logos. Micha just created one for iceweasel with xfig, here is a similar one with tikz:

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (-1,0) circle (1cm);
\draw (-1.2,0.3) circle (0.15cm);
\draw (-0.11,-0.4) -- (1,-1);
\draw (1,-1) -- (3,-1);
\draw (2,-1) -- (2.5,-2);
\draw (2,-1) -- (1.5,-2);
\draw (4,-1) -- (6,-1);
\draw (6,-1) -- (6.5,-2);
\draw (6,-1) -- (5.5,-2);
\draw (6,-1) -- (8,0.5);
\draw (-1.9,-0.4) .. controls +(190:1.8cm) and +(180:1.2cm) .. (-2,0);
\draw (-0.7,0.95) .. controls +(90:0.2cm) and +(60:1.8cm) .. (-1.1, 1);
\draw (-1.5,0.85) .. controls +(60:1.6cm) and +(60:0.2cm) .. (-0.85, 1.4);
\draw (3.5,-3) -- (2.5,1);
\draw (3.5,-3) -- (4.5,1);
\draw (3.5,2.5) circle (1cm);
\filldraw [white, draw=black] (2.8,1.7) circle (1cm);
\filldraw [white, draw=black] (4,1.5) circle (1cm);
\end{tikzpicture}

If the maintainer understand something about art they will use one of our creations! ;)

Yeah, completely in twitter-fever! Just developed a tweet-button.

You can see the button at the end of every post. The button itself of course isn’t my work, I just copied it from twitter, but when you click the link around it you can tweet the actual post directly to twitter! Feel free to try it! ;)

It’s more than easy. All the code you need is (replace […]):

<a href="http://twitter.com/share?url=[URL_TO_THIS_SITE]&amp;lang=[en|de|..]&amp;via=[NAME_OF_YOUR_TWITTER_ACCOUNT_FOR_@_LINK]&amp;text=[TEXT_FOR_TWITTERMSG]" >
      Tweet it <img src="[TWITTER_IMAGE]"/>
</a>

So the code that I wrote in my theme is:

if ( is_singular() )
{
	$tweet = '<span id="tweetit"><a href="http://twitter.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2F'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"].'&amp;lang=en&amp;via=binfalse&amp;text='.the_title('', '', false).'" >
	<span id="tweetittext">Tweet it</span>
	<img src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/btn_tweet_mini.png"/>
	</a></span>';
	$tweet .= "<br />";
}

After that just using the $tweet variable at any position I like ;)

Here you can find a documentation.

The last two weeks I took a time out. The first week I visited my sister living on Usedom, Rumpel came with me.

Those of you who are following me on Twitter may have noticed the one or other story, it was one of the best trips I made! Very funny and of course much too short ;)

We cycled a lot of km’s, climbed on trees, swum in the Baltic Sea, took sunbathes on the beach, went to Poland and so on. Detailed reports would blow up the framework of this website, but I’ll provide some pictures at Picasa, here is also a YouTube video from Poland.

And I’ve prepared a funny animated gif of an interesting evening ;)

So, if you ever have the chance to go to Usedom: Do it!!

Usedom - Aug 2010

The yellow bar on the top of the administration panel was very annoying, so I just decided to update the Software.

Nothing special happened, please tell me if anything seems to be wrong!

Btw. I installed another plugin that tweets news from this blog. Let’s see if it works.

Just read the so called Algorithmencatalog (maybe Algorithms Catalog in English!?), published by our German Bundesnetzagentur. They seem to know exact expiration dates for hash functions ;)

In this PDF file I found the following table (see original screen-shot):

So I hope there is anybody out there that has started to crack SHA-1 to get finished this year :P

(maybe it’s the recounter’s turn!?^^)
