Hi folks,

Yesterday I had to burn some files on DVDs, so I chose to burn them via Finder. However, the first few DVDs worked out just fine. But at one certain DVD I always received error code 0×80020000 just when the DVd started to speed up. Neither changing the empty DVD nor restarting had helped. So I tried to rename the files and chose just A-Z, 0-9 and hyphen minus. It worked out just fine! Seems that Finder had problems dealing with brackets.

So, if you should ever come across this error, just rename the files.

Back in June this year I had a nice 3-day-trip to Rome with 2 other students and a teacher as part of a talent-advancement. As Trenitalia messed around we had a delay of some hours which interfered with our schedule. At least I had the chance of taking some photos at the trainstation:)

But still we had time to see some of the Buildings & Places Rome is famous for.

The first day we visited the Vittoriano where I had the chance to do some nice panoramas

rome 05 (messed this one up a bit)

When you visit the Vittariano, mind that on the back side there a elevator that brings you up to the very top. Costs some bucks, but in my opinion it’s worth it:

rome 06 - a HDR panorama

rome 07

rome 08 - one of my favourites

rome 09 - The Temple of Saturn

After the Vittariano we had a short walk to the Colosseo – which really impressed me! If you ever go to rome, don’t miss it!

rome 10 - a panorama from inside the Colosseum

rome 11 - The slaves that had to do the gladiatorial games left these signs on the wall

Afterwards we decied to visit the Forum Romanum which gave me the possibility of taking a photo of the Circo Massimo

rome 12

I also took photos of some small cliffs and rocks inside the Forum:

rome 14 - one more black&white try

Don’t really remember where I took the following one

rome 16

All I know is that I also processed it as an HDR image which is better imho

We slept in the Hotel Clarin – which is totally ok I think. The room was small but nice and the breakfast was great as well.

The next day we decided to go to the Vatican

If you are in the Vatican take the stairs up the St.Peter’s Basilica - you won’t regret it

After the Vatican we had lunch and went to the Castel San’t Angelo. If you go there, grab yourself an audioguide – it gives you much information and is available in many languages!

That’s most of what I’ve seen in Rome. It’s a wonderful city and I sure want to go there again!

Hi there!

All new MacBooks do have these glossy screens nowadays. Whilst those new screens have many fans the number of people showing reluctant grows every day.

Years ago Apple has stated that their entire product line would be transitioned towards glossy screens. However, Apple shows interest in to opinion of their customers and so the 17″ Version of the MacBook Pro can be ordered with a Matte Screen (costs 45 bucks extra ).

Insiders reported that the 13″ and 15″ Versions may be ordered with the Matte option soon.  Let’s see, I suppose this step would give them a many more customers as new customers are disappointed by the Glossy screens when they are used outside.

Choosing between thos 2 types is a difficult desicion, as the Glossy screens give you not only richer colors and deeper blacks, but are way easier to clean as well.

Have a nice summer,

Howdy folks

I’m sure all of you know Firefox – it’s got a really big audition nowadays! But many people told me that they thought it would kind of look boring – yes, of course, there are themes at the Firefox Plugin Page – But always downloading and installing and restarting gets on one’s nerves. However, today I found a nice tool called Personas developed by Mozilla Labs  – Basically what it does is that it gives you the possibility to choose a theme – But it’s way more smarter. It gives you a live preview even if you just drag the mouse over a theme. Once you’ve installed, the same works at the official page of the project.

I think it’s a really nice plugin for pimping your browser. Feel free to download it at http://www.getpersonas.com/

I added some pics to give you a sneak preview

Have fun and enjoy,

Hi guys,

I just found a nice plugin for WordPress that gives your     Readers the possibility of “social bookmarking”.

So, if they are interested in one of your posts they can “bookmark” it.  Many people at e.g. facebook do so.

The tool is called Social Zyblog Edition and can be downloaded HERE. As suual, all you have to do is upload the unzipped folder to the plugins directory and activate it via the Admin Panel. At the settings menu, you’ll have the configuration for “Sociable”

Have a nice weekend,

Hi fellow readers,

as I have my own blog now I want to show you the Webradio-Experiment.
Basically the Experiment should push TechnoBase.FM in Google Ranking. And the most improtant role is YOU!.
How cou can help us? If you have your own website / blog / Myspace-page /.. just add a link that says Webradio. It should link to www.TechnoBase.FM
If you don’t have experience with HTML, feel free to take this code:
<a href="http://www.technobase.fm" title="TechnoBase.FM – We aRe oNe">Webradio</a>


Don’t link to any other We aRe oNe radios or the We aRe oNe Page. else it won’t work.
How does it work? Well, many people want to listen to an internet-radio. Therefore they search Google and enter “Webradio” . They won’t look at page 180 but take one from the first page. This is why we need your help!

Thanks for participating at the experiment

Hi guys!

You may be used to buying music via iTunes. However, now iTunes has started selling movies via their iTunes store. As the same with music, prices are far lower than in the store ’round the corner. They already sell about 500 movies, much of them coming from MGM, Paramount and Warner Brothers.

Older films are priced around 7,99 €, new ones about 13,99 €. If you want to go High-Definition you’ll have to pay 1 € more.

Have a nice weekend,

Howdy guys,

Yesterday the second edition of the BRGPur student magazine was sold during the parent conference day.

It all went pretty fast. Wednesday morning I was aked to layout the whole magazine on the afternoon. Though I was already stressed as hell with school stuff and other mess I agreed on doing it. Again, nothing was organized and I had to improve A LOT again. I guess it contains a hundred typos and it looks pretty bad (the pdf conversion didn’t work out well).

It was planned to contain 20 pages by the editorship, but the texts were smaller and so I could only do a 16-sites version. So I had to price it vor 0,7 € as well – which means fewer money for us because of bad organizing. Anyway, I just wanted to know what you folks think of it, here you go:

Hi guys,

do you have a WordPress-blog? Yes? And do you use Google Analytics as well?  Then you’ll sure know the problem of trying to install the Tracking Code at your blog! Actually there is a way of installing it, but if you’re not an expert on PHP and HTML you can forget it.

However, I just found a nice tool that makes things way easier. It’s called Google Analytics for WordPress and was made by Yoast. You can download it here. You just have to unzip it and copy the folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory on your webserver. Via the Admin Panel you can unlock it and configure it. How this works? The well-done FAQ should give you an answer . I hope you enjoy the tool.

Do something productive on a warm summer-evening

Cherrio,
