This really is today's Foto Feb post :) I proudly present my Australian Keep Cup in a tradional good old ... eh... Australian New Zealand German Danish colour scheme or red and white. It lives in @ilaerias desk drawer (together with its also white friend - my spare Apple mouse) when I'm not at the Gold Coast. I do wonder though if it was worth it from the point of view of my CO2-balance - the…

"Man Bites Dog" - a card game about news headlines. A belated photo (I just forgot to upload it yesterday, sorry) of a belated "Secret Santa" present (I joined my client's office Secret Santa, left my present for person X there before Xmas; but I wasn't around when the presents got distributed).

Special characters in Hg Commit comments

by kai on 06/02/2012

The result of my commit was weird though: Error: transaction abort! rollback completed abort: decoding near 'ailbox, we're not': 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 24: ordinal not in…

Adobe Connect and HTTP status codes

by kai on 05/02/2012

One thing that annoys me quite a bit is how Adobe Connect handles HTTP status codes. Essentially it's doing it in the wrong way (from my point of view at least), but let me explain. You might just know Adobe Connect from using Adobe's hosted SaaS, but Adobe sells Adobe Connect as a so called licensed version - you buy licenses and can host it yourself within the IT structure of your organisation.…

This is prob. the most stereotypical Gold Coast photo you could get: tall apartment building, some tropical palm trees and blue sky :)

This is technically cheating because it's from the 29th of Jan - but it's so nice that I want to show it.

I saw this from my balcony during the Chinese New Year 2012 Parade in Sydney - massively huge Dragon animation projected onto the side of a very tall building.
