Blyawon, Pront0, Sallewasgeht, Hobil und ich haben einen Blog gelauncht: Derwebblog.de. Der Blog ist sehr vielseitig und deckt zahlreiche Themenbereiche ab. Wir schreiben überwiegend Artikel über Webprogrammierung beziehungsweise Webentwicklung und Design, bloggen aber auch aktuelle Webnews, Nachrichten aus der Politik und aus der Gesellschaft.

Als erfahrene Internet-Kenner bemühen wir uns täglich darum die aktuellsten Nachrichten aus den oben genannten Themenbereichen in knapper, verständlicher Form zu formulieren. Auch schrecken wir nicht vor Tutorials und Anleitungen zurück, die auf “Computerkenner” zugeschnitten sind. Aufgrund der Vielzahl an Teilnehmern dieses Gemeinschaftsprojekts deckt jeder “Blogger” seine Kompetenzbereiche ab und bereichert damit das Internet um hoffentlich nützliche Informationen.

Die offizielle Website http://cbaur.de meines Unternehmens "Christoph Baur Software-Entwicklung und IT-Dienstleistungen" ist nun vollständig. Dort präsentiere ich meine Angebote beziehungsweise meine Dienstleistungen, als da wären:

• Webentwicklung mit Design, Umsetzung von Designs, CMS-Lösungen (Joomla und Wordpress) und Entwicklung von individuellen Webanwendungen
• Mac OS X-Programmierung, iPhone-Programmierung/iPod Touch-Programmierung und iPad-Programmierung
• PC-Programmierung auf Basis des .net-Frameworks mit C# oder Java
• PC-Reperaturen in der näheren Umgebung
• Beratung bei computertechnischen Fragen

In den letzten Tagen habe ich alle Seiteninhalte vervollständigt und Referenzen beziehungsweise Portfolios veröffentlicht, wo sinnvolle vorhanden. Jetzt ist die Seite vollständig fertiggestellt, es kann nun darin "gestöbert" werden. Wer Webseiten, Anwendungen für Apple-Plattformen und für den PC braucht, der ist bei mir an der richtigen Adresse.

Schaut doch einfach mal vorbei auf http://cbaur.de und informiert euch ein wenig, falls ihr Interesse habt.

Kleine Anmerkung: Aktuell nehme ich keine weiteren größere Aufträge entgegen, da ich zur Zeit stark ausgelastet bin, was Projekte betrifft! 

Besides all my current projects I decided to take care of Bumuckl.com in terms of unity and web standard. I thought it was time to get cracking to get a new floor finish for my website. You might not think that there have been any major changes, and you're probably right. It still looks kind of the same. But, indeed, it took me 5 days with 6 hours of struggling around everyday to redevelop the whole template in a clean way with neat CSS, to remove bad components and to adapt all the components views. On the whole, it was a pretty exhausting work to optimize Bumuckl.com. And now, as it is done (one might think so), I really do feel happy. But be aware, this is not finished yet. I still will have to remove old CSS classes and to shift the current way of implementing graphics to CSS sprites. 

What? Web 2.0? Where is it?! 

Yep, it is there. I am now aiming at using this website rather as a Weblog than as a puffy website with tons of messy content. So I switched all the section and category list-views to blog-views and tried to give the comments-function a neat look. Provisorily I removed the "Lua Wikis" menu item because i would have never finished to translate the whole PGELua Wiki. If you need help, just use the forums. If you need any functions regarding PGELua, go to luaplayer.org.

That's all I've got to say. Have fun and, hopefully, I could teach you in some way.

"Presheet" is just a single .css-file for styling websites and contains presets, as the name PREsheet says. To be more precise, first several standard browser settings are reset and then new basic styles are allocated. Furthermore there are lots of predefined classes and IDs that will help you in your task of creating a new webdesign. I assume that you'll never again have to struggle with complex div-boxes and floating, as there are simple but powerful classes implemented that will work out properly for you. The Presheet file might be small and simple, but it implements a very nice and handy system. I am not sure how far webdevelopers do like the "system", but I am sure that it is an effective way to create xhtml strict websites in no time in a very comfortable way. And with xhtml strict I really do mean xhtml strict!

I assume not to compare it to real CSS-Frameworks like YAML, Blueprints or 960grid, because it surely ain't a CSS Framework. It is a useful preset.

frozen sniper, the creator and admin of the prestigious Uber Sniper Clan (former known as the "Elite Sniper League") had the idea, to open up more such clans as there could be similar clans for other classes in TF2 (for example Scout and Spy). In correspondence to those clan we came up with the idea to start a Gaming Community called UGC- Uber gaming Community. At the moment there is only a special group on Steam where we are trying to collect members and increase the groups size. As soon as we think it makes sense, we'll also launch a special website. But first of all, we need a huge amount of members. We started two days ago, let's see if it will work out for the community!

As we wrote on the Steam-group: "When you take a look at this page, you might think that we are just an ordinary community that offers servers for people to play on...but we are not. In fact, Uber Gaming Community is a "clan community" that offers several kinds of clans to you. All these clans are supposed to be "Prestige-Clans", or you might also say "Skill-Clans". That means you will only be able to get into the clan of your choice, if you can fulfill the requirements and succeed in a test-match. Help us to make this community bigger by joining this group and applying for the membership in one of our Uber Gaming Clans. Invite all of your friends! The more members this community has, the more this community will do for you. We are aiming at getting our own servers once we've got enough members and, of course, to establish new clans!

Uber Gaming Clans available at the moment:

USC - Uber Snipers Clan (former known as ESL - Elite Sniper League)

Clans to come when this community counts more members:

USpC - Uber Spies Clan (at least 200 members required)
UScC - Uber Scouts Clan (at least 400 members required)

Being a member of this community also gives you the permission to show your membership by adding the tag "UGC" to your nickname. Members of any Skill-Clan might also want to add their respective clantag (USC, USpC, and so on). We also offer a Forum for the members of the Uber Snipers Clan. Once we've got enough members, UGC will also get a professional website with Forums for all members! Stay tuned, invite your friends, have fun!

Current Uber Snipers Clan Forums: http://www.uscclan.tk"

Let's see if it will succeed. Anyways, it is just a fun-thing. Breaking the 1000-members checkpoint would be awesome though! And, of course, feel free to join :D 

I have 7 5 Google Wave invitations left, and of course I cannot just let them be. I am certain there are people around who really need a Google Wave invite. And especially those people should have the chance to get one, so I dedided to start a small "competition":

In order to get one of those seven invites, you have to register at bumuckl.com (There is OpenID and Google Account support, that means you might sign in immediately). Then just login and move to the Forums where you navigate to Webdevelopment->Other category. Open up the Topic "Google Wave invitations application" and reply to it.

What to write? The actual competition is to write your ideas for robots and gadgets. The best ideas will be rewarded with a Google Wave invite. Don't be shy, I won't steal any of your ideas. It is just to see how much you tinker with Google Wave and how important an invitation is for you. If you do not want to post your ideas publicly, then you can also just write a personal message to me (bumuckl). Go to the Topic here:
