spectacular

The recent local event "Spektakel" has been dearly anticipated, at least by me. As those things go, it started off with two bands i didn't know and "starred" Bounce, the Bon Jovi tribute band from around the corner.

In short : they rock bigtime and sound very much like the original. Whenever you can, you should check them out.

one step at a time

hey all,

What a year so far!

I'm happy to announce that gametra.de is well on the way of progress. In addition to Prototype, I have switched over to using 2 more very efficient JavaScript Libraries for the user interface : Scriptaculous and Lightbox v2. The great thing about that : they're all compatible - scriptaculous is based on prototype, lightbox on both of the others. Since Firebug is such a relief for Debug, we can get more serious about using JS than before. Remains to hope that the libs are sufficiently crossbrowser-compatible, because debugging IE will NOT be fun :(

Another project of mine, unbrick.de, will hopefully be online later this week. It has been stuck on my harddisk for something like 4 Months now, waiting for a few graphics, some minor IE-CSS-Debug (yuck!) and a filled database (how should i get this done?)...

Web Recommendations of the month :
• imeem.com - youtube for audio :D
• steinway.de - simple elegance

Back to work!
