Usually, caching is good. It saves rendering time and makes websites snappier. Most interesting: This isn't always true for phpWebSite. It sure isn't in my case. I can feel a big speed improvement now after turning the Cache off, regular visitors might as well. No one knows, why. Even the readme states, there could be a speed improvement by turning it off

This is a great update! Elroy not only fixed the bbcode troubles, he also made ... drumroll... dynamically changing input boxes! Article Manager will now show you Textareas & Text-Inputboxes, that are as wide as the column you put it in with the layout manager.

One of the toughtest exams of my study for me was "Mathematics 1". I've been trying to pass it since 1996. Today, I got mail from Prof. Karigl: I've passed. It is done.

Sometimes, you'd simply like to know the current colordepth and screensize. On a foreign computer, for example. I've found & implemented a script, which does exactly that. And even shows you the available height & width. Could be handy for Webdesigners!

Today I had my first "Californian Workout". I guess, I know now, why Corvette driving girls of San Jose are that good looking. And it sure was fun!

Thanks to a patch by Yves, we now have smilies on kiesler.at as well! Let's take a brief tour on how you use them.

there should be a smilie: and another one: some more:

Today, I had my third attempt on "Mathematik 1". It's the last for my bachelor. If I'd fail, it's over for me. 8 years of study for nothing. Then, life is full of surprises.

I don't know the english translation for it. A Wickeltisch is a desk, where you put your baby on in public in a bathroom. And change it's diapers. Usually stuff, women do.

I've just discovered, some was looking for me. In Google. He entered "Rene Kiesler" as a search string. How interesting. So I had a look, what google was finding.

Will Oración stay Oración? will á stay á, will é,í,ó,ú,ñ stay the way they should?

That's another term of working out at the USI for me! I've made a couple of photos, which I'd like to share with you.

Did you ever want to do some word breaks in your Documents but didn't know, how to do that in html? Well, I don't know how to do that automatically, but there is a nice softhypen, you might like.

rck2004, the old kiesler.at theme, has been online from March 2004 until now, October 2004. It's been a quick hack and was meant to be replaced earlier. I've made a new theme, it's called Polar 0.2. It will be the default theme as of today.

I just found a nice tool for checking the readability of websites. It checks paragraph length, etc. There are a couple of background articles on that subject as well.

As my visitors tend to come from all over the place (hello Kuala Lumpur!), about 60 different each day, I decided to switch my site back to english. I'm doing the transition gradually, so please be patient. I might even translate some older articles which could be of interest.

So... You think there are too little Southpark characters? Know every one of them but still isn't enough? Just found via ILoveJackDaniels: Southpark Create-A-Character. Nice toy if you have time to spare.

Let's have some fun with another swallow 0.2 hack demo!

Another case of trying out the swallow hack 0.2. This time, I'm shuffling some sections around. Enjoy!

Since I just made an update of the swallow hack containing a "randomizer", I wanted to try it out.

Didn't you always think about a CMS that's more tightly integrated, than phpWebSite? Didn't you always wonder, if it would be possible to use the same pictures all over the place, include download links in an Article? Or maybe use the links right from your Link Manager, thus having one single instance to administer, and not loads of different articles?

0.5 is a port of 0.4 to Article Manager 3 by Tony Oosterhoff. It also contains a bugfix of a bug found by Tja. Read this thread for details. Thank you!

Sometimes, you just have to make your email-address public in a way or another. But: This could lead to serious spamming, as some webrobots try to exactly find those addresses and make them part of a spammers addressbook.

I bought an iMac back in 1998. Because it was cool. Connect just two cables and you're in the Internet. Yeah, right. It of course didn't work out like that.

After a successful swap of disk drives and the cleaning of the usual LILO problems the server is back online.

You can say what you will about Microsoft. I still believe, they have some very good points. They are big enough in making a difference while battling spam, for example.
