			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Growl - Älterer Markus Zeller Blog" href="http://www.markuszeller.com/growl" target="_blank">Vor einiger Zeit</a> hatte ich schon einmal über die Anwendung <a title="Growl Webseite" href="http://growl.info/" target="_blank">Growl</a> gebloggt. Damals war sie noch Freeware und somit kostenlos erhältlich. Heute kostet Sie im <a title="Growl im AppStore" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/growl/id467939042?mt=12&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4" target="_blank">AppStore</a> 1,59 Euro. Liest man dort die Beschwerden der Bewertungen, heisst die eindeutige Meinung, die Finger vom Kauf zu lassen.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/Einstellungen.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1632" title="Einstellungen" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/Einstellungen.png" alt="" width="285" height="284" /></a>Etwas unglücklich ist auch die Beschreibung, das Growl ursprünglich dazu entwickelt wurde, um den Inhalt einer neu erhaltenen Mail anzuzeigen, ohne das aktuelle Programm verlassen zu müssen. Wenn man das liest, geht man in der Regel davon aus, dass es auch mit Apple&#8217;s Mail klappt. Aber das funktioniert nur <a title="Growl Mail Download" href="http://code.google.com/p/growlmail/downloads/list" target="_blank">GrowlMail</a>, das mittlerweile nicht mehr mitgeliefert wird und separat installiert werden muss. Die GrowlMail Version 1.3.2 unterstützt Mail auf Lion.</p>
<p>Nach dem letzten Growl-Update auf 1.3.1 und der Sichtung des Changelogs sind alle diese gravierenden Mängel, die auch mich bisher vom Kauf abgehalten haben, beseitigt worden.</p>
<p>Nun habe ich die kostenpflichtige Software seit einigen Stunden im Einsatz und kann nur sagen, dass es viel besser ist und der Kauf sich definitiv lohnt!</p>
<p>Die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten sind viel grosszügiger und vor allem übersichtlicher, als in der Vorgängerversion.</p>
<p>Neu dazugekommen ist das Sammeln von Benachrichtigungen während der Abwesenheit vom Computer. Das ist wirklich vorbildlich gelöst, denn sie werden nun in einem schicken scrollbaren Fenster gesammelt.</p>
<p><strong>Fazit:</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Die neue Version zum Preis einer Tasse Kaffee ist lohnenswert!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heisst es nicht so schön &#8220;weniger ist mehr&#8221;? Social Networking ist sicherlich wichtig, denn ohne <a href="http://www.facebook.com/r00tuser">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/n4cer">Twitter</a> und <a href="https://flattr.com/profile/forcedweb">Flattr</a> und geht heute fast gar nichts mehr. Wenn man sich anschaut, was da für ein Traffic aufkommt, kann einem ganz schön schwindelig werden.</p>
<p>Mittlerweile hat sich auch der Suchmaschinenbetreiber Google eingeklinkt und ist wohl in letzter Sekunde mit seinem eigenen Dienst <a href="https://plus.google.com/108893276990221648575/about">Google+</a> auf den Zug gesprungen, um nichts zu verpassen. Facebook und Google sind die grossen Player und wollen sich gegenseitig die &#8220;Kundschaft&#8221; abgraben. Denn wer deren Seiten besucht, bekommt auch Werbung präsentiert und genau damit lässt sich gutes Geld verdienen.</p>
<p>Mir geht das so langsam auf die Nerven und es kostet mich einfach zu viel Zeit überall präsent zu sein. Dazu kommen noch die riesigen Fluten an Nachrichten und Diskussionen an denen mal teilhaben kann und soll. Mal abgesehen davon, gibt es immer ein paar schlaue Leute, die Bots schreiben und einen noch zusätzlich piesacken.</p>
<p>Sicherlich kann man Tools einsetzen, die einem die Arbeit damit erleichtern, aber warum der ganze Aufwand? Wenn man bedenkt wieviel Zeit ich damit verbracht habe überall die Facebook-Share oder Like-Buttons einzubauen, sowie das ganze Retweet-Gedöns, Flattr und was es sonst noch so alles gibt. Ich habe es auch satt, überall diese nervigen Share-Buttons zu sehen, denn sie sind schon genauso lästig geworden wie animierende Werbebanner.</p>
<p>Von daher habe ich mich entschlossen, diese Buttons überall wieder rauszunehmen, zumal es mir auch nicht annähernd die Aufmerksam gebracht hat, die ich gerne gehabt hätte. So beschränkt sich die Optik und auch die Inhalte meines Blogs wieder auf das, worauf es ankommt: Nämlich auf genau den Artikel, den der Leser gerade liest. Im Footer sind und bleiben die Profile aufgelistet, und wer mag kann sich dort gerne mit mir verbinden. Ich werde diese Dienste schon weiter nutzen, aber sicherlich nicht meinen Tagesablauf bestimmen lassen.</p>
<p>Ein weiteres Argument diese Buttons zu entfernen ist noch der Datenschutz. Gerade Facebook hat es sich zu eigen gemacht, Daten ohne Ende zu sammeln. Durch das blosse Einbinden der Buttons weiss Facebook ganz genau, von welcher Webseite und von welchem Mitglied diese angezeigt und angeklickt wurden. Ich will das hier nur ganz grob anreissen und erkläre die Funktionsweise später in einem separaten Artikel.</p>
<p>Die anderen Sozialnetzwerkdienstleister sind übrigens auch nicht viel besser was die Datensammelwut angeht. Als Webseitenbetreiber, der solche Buttons einbindet und somit das Sammeln der Daten auch noch fördert, besteht die Gefahr dass man sich <a href="http://rechtzweinull.de/index.php?/archives/173-Facebook-Datenschutz-Erste-Abmahnungen-wegen-Einbindung-des-Facebook-Like-Buttons.html">strafbar im Sinne des Datenschutzgesetzes</a> macht und kann daher auch abgemahnt werden. Ich empfehle daher jedem Blogger und Webseitenbetreiber sich mit dem Thema zu beschäftigen und diese Buttons ebenfalls ins Nirvana zu verbannen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ein Backup zu haben ist immer eine feine Sache und kann manchmal sogar Leben retten &#8211; zumindest das Leben von Bits und Bytes. Mit Time Machine ist das besonders einfach, weil man damit einfach keine Arbeit hat und es ein Bestandteil des Betriebssystems ist.</p>
<h2>Hilfe! Ein Käfer?</h2>
<p>Leider habe ich einen kleinen &#8220;Bug&#8221; oder sagen wir lieber &#8220;Schönheitsfehler&#8221; entdeckt: Kürzlich habe ich mein OS aktualisiert und somit sind viele neue Dateien vorhanden, die gesichert werden wollen. Das Backup ist mittendrin stehengeblieben und hat einfach nicht weitergemacht.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;">Wie funktioniert Time Machine?</span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1583" title="Time Machine copy" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/Time-Machine-copy.png" alt="" width="335" height="223" />Bevor ich mit der Lösung fortfahre will ich einmal kurz und knapp das Prinzip von Time Machine Backups erklären.</p>
<p>Time Machine muss zuerst ein volles Backup anfertigen, danach werden nur die Daten gesichert die neu sind oder sich verändert haben. Das bringt einen erheblichen Geschwindigkeitsvorteil und spart auch gleichzeitig jede Menge Plattenplatz.</p>
<p>Der erste Schritt ist das &#8220;Vorbereiten&#8221; in dem alle Daten zunächst ermittelt werden, die neu gesichert werden sollen. Je mehr Dateien, desto länger dauert dieser Vorgang. Danach beginnt die Datensicherung und letztendlich der Aufräumvorgang.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;">Warum bleibt das Backup stehen?</span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1584" title="Energy Saver copy" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/Energy-Saver-copy.png" alt="" width="340" height="256" />Sparen ist gut, aber zu viel Geiz eben nicht &#8211; und zwar mit Energie. In den Energiespar-Einstellungen ist festgelegt, dass die Festplatten frühstmöglich in den Ruhezustand gehen sollen.</p>
<p>In meinem Fall handelt es sich um eine externe Festplatte. Weil es eben relativ viele Daten sind, die gesichert werden hat die &#8220;Vorbereitung&#8221; länger gebraucht und die externe Platte einfach abgeschaltet. Geht man nun in die Engerie-Optionen und stellt das kurzfristig ab, so läuft die Datensicherung wieder an einem Stück durch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;">Noch ein Extra-Tip</span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1585" title="All Messages copy" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/All-Messages-copy.png" alt="" width="494" height="237" />Mit dem Consolen-Log Programm in den Application Utilities kann man ebenfalls gute Analysen durchführen und nach Fehlern suchen. Mit der Eingabe von &#8220;backupd&#8221; sieht man alle Ausgaben von Time Machine.</p>
<p>Das klappt auch bei sämtlichen anderen Programme, die Ihre Machenschaften in Logdateien protokollieren.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In letzter Zeit dreht sich bei mir relativ viel um Video und bisher habe ich immer den H.264 Codec verwendet, da er unglaublich gute Kompression bei hervorragender Qualität bietet. Dieser Codec wird von sämtlichen Geräten sogar hardwareseitig unterstützt und hat somit eine große Verbreitung und Unterstützung.</p>
<h3>Lizenzen bringen Probleme</h3>
<p>Allerdings soll es bei diesem Codec in Zukunft einige <a href="http://www.golem.de/1007/76448.html" target="_blank">lizenzrechtliche Probleme</a> geben und die Suche nach Alternativen ist die einzig vernünftige Lösung.</p>
<h3>Die Zukunft</h3>
<p>Bei modernen Browsern der neuen Generation wie Google Chrome, Firefox 4, IE9, etc. ist ein Audio- und Videoplayer bereits integriert, um das Video-Tag einzubinden. Das Format <a href="http://www.webmproject.org/" target="_blank">WebM</a> mit dem VP8 Codec ist bereits gut unterstützt.</p>
<p>Google ist sogar einen Schritt weitergegangen und hat H.264 direkt <a href="http://www.tgdaily.com/security-features/53490-google-cuts-chrome-h264-support" target="_blank">rausgeworfen</a> und setzt nur noch auf VP8. Bei Youtube wird ebenfalls <a href="http://www.youtube.com/html5" target="_blank">alles</a> dahin codiert und abgelegt. Somit ist der Trend scheinbar festgelegt.</p>
<h3>Press play on tape</h3>
<p>Das Abspielen innerhalb der oben genannten Browser funktioniert bereits. Einfach die Videodatei mit dem Browser entweder über das Menu öffnen oder per Drag und Drop reinwerfen. Auch andere Wiedergabeprogramme wie VLC zeigen die Inhalte einwandfrei.</p>
<h3>Encodieren</h3>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1568" title="Compression Settings" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/Compression-Settings.png" alt="" width="172" height="134" />Leider gibt es auf dem Mac mit OS X 10.6.6 noch keine native Unterstützung, doch es gibt eine sehr bequeme Methode für Quicktime 7 Pro. Einfach das Paket <a title="WebM Package" href="http://code.google.com/p/webm/downloads/detail?name=WebM%20Component%20Installer.pkg&amp;can=2&amp;q=" target="_blank">WebM Component Installer.pkg</a> installieren und schon kann man im WebM-Format exportieren.</p>
<p>Ein kurzer Test mit dem VP8 Codec hat sogar noch kleinere Dateien als mit H.264 Codec erzeugt &#8211; allerdings muss ich das erst noch genauer unter die Lupe nehmen.</p>

So it would be so much better having a headphone connected, put it aside and still enjoy the <a title="iMac" href="http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B003XLYAWW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=forweb-21&amp;link_code=as3&amp;camp=2514&amp;creative=9386&amp;creativeASIN=B003XLYAWW" target="_blank">iMac&#8217;s</a> speaker sound as well. There is no option anywhere in the preferences, so I have to accept this. The only solution I know is getting an external sound card.</p>
<h3>Phase change</h3>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1539 alignright" title="phasex24" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/phasex24.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="65" />So I did, and I am the proud owner of the external <a title="Terratec Phase X24" href="http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000COKZCW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=forweb-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=B000COKZCW" target="_blank">Terratec Phase X24</a> Firewire audio card. Really great device, and you know what? I can connect a headphone with still having sound everywhere. YES!</p>
<h3>Record</h3>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1540" title="record" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/record.jpg" alt="" width="64" height="64" />I love making music and hopefully you have subscribed <a title="DJ N-4cer Promo Podcast" href="http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=323879840" target="_blank">my audio podcast</a>. To create my sounds I mainly use software like <a title="Record and Reason" href="http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0040HDUQ0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=forweb-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=B0040HDUQ0">Record in combination with Reason</a>. Record is so great in connecting audio hardware with multiple inputs and outputs.</p>
<h3>Combine in, combine out</h3>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1541" title="Record-audio" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/Record-audio.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="123" />For my latest song I needed to record my voice while playing the music inside Record. That masterpiece software is able to do that, but my USB microphone was not in there. Checking out all the devices, I noticed for the first time, that Record combines audio devices with inputs and outputs.</p>
<p>Shit happens, my PhaseX24 and the <a title="Samson USB GoMic" href="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=2010" target="_blank">Samson GoMic</a> was not listed up in combination.</p>
<h3>Got a Mac? Do it yourself!</h3>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1542" title="midi" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/midi.jpg" alt="" width="64" height="64" />Damn, yeah! I am a Mac user, so that&#8217;s no big deal. I will create my own device!</p>
<p>I have just opened the Audio and MIDI settings, and voila, there is the add button. Give it a name and click all devices I want to have in there. Made a check on PhaseX24 and one Samson USB GoMic, that&#8217;s it! Restarting Record, running to preferences and there it is: my PhaseX24+GoMic device.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH_sYj07SDE" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1545" title="YouTube" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/YouTube.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="335" /></a></p>

On some situations it could be useful your Mac would stay awake instead of using it magic power LED hypnotizing you.</p>
<p>One of those moments could be</p>
<ul>
<li>A party and your MacBook is serving some music, but you don&#8217;t want anybody to touch it and to see what is on your screen.</li>
<li>It is bedtime and you want to listen to <a href="http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=323879840">my podcast</a> or some other music and set your sleep timer, but the display is too bright.</li>
<li>You have a time intensive task like defragmenting harddrive, backup or downloading and want to prevent dust getting on the keys.</li>
<li>The screen is no longer used while watching a movie on an external monitor.</li>
<li>Just you want it!</li>
</ul>
<p>A tiny freeware tool called <a href="http://semaja2.net/insomniaxinfo">InsomniaX</a> puts some matches into the menubar to simply enable or disable the sleep functions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When embedding or linking to a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/deejayn4cer">Youtube</a> video, you have lots of parameters you can put in the URL. Those are influencing the player&#8217;s behavior and view. This is very useful, especially on embedding directly into your website or blog.</p>
<p><strong>Playback with a seek</strong></p>
<p>One of the most unknown and rarely used parameters is the playback with a seek. Let&#8217;s say, you want to show a video and the important moment your want to point to is at 1 minute and 28 seconds. Did you know, than you can directly jump into that position? Simply add <strong><em>#t=1m27s</em></strong> behind the video URL like this:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a92JSlFZHH0#t=1m28s">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a92JSlFZHH0#t=1m28s</a></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: right;">Video starts playing at 1 min and 28 secs.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is very cool when sharing videos via <a href="http://twitter.com/n4cer">twitter</a> or <a href="http://www.markuszeller.com/just-only-skype">instant messengers</a> and you do not want your participant to watch the whole story.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Other options</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are a lot of other values like setting borders, enable related video recommendations, HD playback and some more which you will find on <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html">Googles API page</a>. Have a look at it and I am sure, there is something useful for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many people are talking about the <a href="https://wave.google.com/wave/">Google Wave</a>. It is still beta and Google limited the amount of users who may have access. You can either fill out a form and wait for an approval or get invited by someone else who still has invites left.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6pgxLaDdQw"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1479" title="Google Wave Introduction" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/waveintro.jpg" alt="Google Wave Introduction" width="480" height="339" /></a></p>
<p>Since I got an invite (special thanks to <a href="http://www.leuk.de/">Leuk</a> and <a href="http://www.irukandji-syndrome.de/">Jack Brendon Smoke</a>) I really like it. Sometimes it is quite slow and some things are not working fully, but hey, it is beta and Google stated it.</p>
<p>The Wave is a powerful tool which I think will be a future kind of team collaboration. You can see in realtime what the other participants are typing or changing. A playback function shows you all changes step by step.</p>
<p>Many <strong>public</strong> Waves are available, where everybody can join and take part. Also, you can make your Waves public by inviting a special email address.</p>
<p>There are a lot of things to do until it matches a fluently workflow, but even in this state it is quite useful.</p>
<p>If you want to join, I am still having some invites left. Just leave a comment below with your email you want the invite to be sent to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.wordpress.org">WordPress</a> blog systems gained very popular and can be seen all over the web. Since I began blogging I like it. It is a quick and innovative development. The most important thing for me is not only the quick and easy installation. Also frequently updating all those nice plugins is just a child&#8217;s play.</p>
<p>The handling is easy, and even greenhorns get good along with it. Just find a nice template, punch it in, create some headlined pages and every user can deal with it.</p>
<p>I think the blogging features are almost perfect and there is not much what needs to get improved in my humple opinion. I would prefer native support of multiple languages.</p>
<p>Therefore I like the developers way asking the community to vote for the most wished functions. As the <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/">results</a> show, they will concentrate for better multimedia integration. So let&#8217;s get excited for the WordPress 2.9 release at about end of October?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With my blog I want to reach as many people as possible. And that is why I decided to write it in English language, although my native language is German. English is the <a href="http://www.photius.com/rankings/languages2.html">almost widely spoken</a> and written language. In these days of world wide internet communication it is nearly impossible to get along without English, especially when you are interested in web, programming and other technical things.</p>
<p>Sometimes, when a friend needs technical help or a good tip and I wrote about it, then I advise them to read the appropriate article. But the answer often is:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hey, your blog is English and I do not understand any word.</p></blockquote>
<p><em></em>It also happens more often, that an article got commented in a language that I do not understand and even can not read because of non-latin letters.</p>
<p>I really tried some <a href="http://www.wordpress.org">WordPress</a>-plugins to make by blog multilingual, but that all did not satisfy me. First of all, I could only provide German and English texts. Secondly it takes so much time, to write everything twice.</p>
<p>Today I found the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-ajax-translation/">Google AJAX Translation plugin</a> which is now implemented here with some modifications. As you can see, every article, page and even the comments have now a &#8220;Translate&#8221; button. Click it, select the language and the content will be replaced instantly with a translation and <strong>without reloading</strong> the whole page.</p>
<p>Hopefully you like it and the communication barrier is gone!</p>

I really do like it and prefer using it instead of <a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Firefox</a> &#8211; especially when I am forced to use the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows">Windows</a> operating system. Big G brought many good ideas and concepts into that application.</p>
<p>A browser is one of the most important tools nowadays and so it is important that it behaves fast, easy to use and recource saving.</p>
<p>On Youtube they <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjW0Bchdj-w">introduced</a> <em>&#8220;Google Chrome Frame&#8221; </em>which is a plugin for the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx">Internet Explorer</a>. This makes it possible to render websites with the Chrome engine with all its advantages on speed and quality inside Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>I am not sure, if that is good, because I absolutely dislike the Internet Explorer because of all those uncomfortable differences compared to the other browsers. Any further existing options on testing websites makes it harder for a web developer to test it out. My web dream is without beeing Internet Explorer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1373" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1373" title="Blackberry HS-655+ headset" src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/bb655headset.jpg" alt="Blackberry HS-655+ headset" width="200" height="94" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Blackberry HS-655+ headset</p></div>
<p>The Bluetooth headset branded with <a href="http://www.rimarkable.com/blackberry-hs-655-bluetooth-headset">HS-655+</a> or just <a href="http://www.rimarkable.com/blackberry-hs-655-bluetooth-headset">Blackberry 655+</a> is a great and tiny thing. It supports Bluetooth 2.0 technology and has a good sound quality and distance range. There are lot of testing reports in the web, but no useful reference manual or user guide. The delivered one is one of the worst I have ever seen. So I will give a neat summary below.</p>
<p>I bought that headset in combination of my Blackberry 8110 which is now replaced with my <a href="http://partners.webmasterplan.com/click.asp?ref=497555&amp;site=4267&amp;type=text&amp;tnb=63">iPhone</a> 3G &#8211; the best<em>(est)</em> PDA / iPod / phone available on the planet. I suggest you getting it, because the price cheapened from about $100 down to approximately $60 and you also can use it on every Mac.</p>
<p>The original vendor is <a href="http://www.plantronics.com/">Plantronics</a> with the model number ASY-12747-002, but there is not valuable manual out, either.</p>
<p>Here we go for the short, but explainary summary. I really can not image what inherited them for writing just these few words:</p>
<p><strong>Charging:</strong><br />
Plug a USB cable into the cradle. Put the headset into the cradle. When it vibrates once it signals, that power is available. When it is blinking red in 3 second steps, it is charging. When the light is off, the battery is full.</p>
<p><strong>Power on:</strong><br />
Hold down the button for 3 seconds. When it is on, then it blinks blue every 5 seconds.</p>
<p><strong>Power off:</strong><br />
You need to disconnect bluetooth from the other device, first. Else the headset will not react on power off. When disconnected, hold down the button for 4 seconds. When the light it is off, the headset is totally powered off, too.</p>
<p><strong>Pairing:</strong><br />
Power it on <em>(see above)</em>. Release the button and hold it down for 10 seconds. Then the button blinks alternating red and blue. Find the headset with your phone or Mac. When you are asked for the passkey, enter 0000 <em>(for times zero)</em>. When paired it blinks every 5 seconds blue as described on power on.</p>
<p><strong>Note on Pairing:</strong> When powered on and your device is findable, it could happen that is asked for the passkey without holding the button for 10 seconds down.</p>
<p>Now, go and get it! Maybe, we will see/hear us in a <a href="skype:markuszeller.com">Skype call</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When writing articles or doing any text processing it often helps to use copy and paste. Not to steal texts, but copying long URLs, complicated names or just to refer to something.</p>
<p>And when you have copied something once to the clipboard it would be nice to get it back later on or to use it more often and not to have searching it again in written texts before.</p>
<div id="attachment_1267" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/jumpcut-1.jpg" alt="Jumpcut" title="Jumpcut" width="600" height="231" class="size-full wp-image-1267" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jumpcut</p></div>
<p>The helper tools for managing that kind of task is called a clipboard manager. There are plenty of them available, but most are quite expensive.</p>
<p>I found a simple and nice one which keeps only text in mind and not images, what I do really prefer. That program is named <a href="http://jumpcut.sourceforge.net/">Jumpcut</a> and freeware.</p>
<p>In the menu bar is a small scissors and clicking on it shows all previous cuts. Just select one to paste it back anywhere in a textbox. Even with a specialized and customizable shortcut you can scroll through them with a head up display.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron">cronjobs</a>? That is a great thing to schedule and let run tasks only once or repeatedly. This comes with every linux. And as you know OS X is based on a <a href="http://www.bsd.org/">BSD</a>. So, you have that functionality on your Mac, too.</p>
<p>The most nerving thing is the way how to edit the crontabs. There is unfortunately no simple interface delivered by default or I did not find it, yet. Normally, it is required to open a text editor and know the format to do changes.</p>
<p>The developers from <a href="http://h775982.serverkompetenz.net:9080/abstracture_public/">abstracture</a> did not sleep and created a wonderful application named <a href="http://h775982.serverkompetenz.net:9080/abstracture_public/projects-en/cronnix/">CronniX</a> which is a fantastic easy and simple interface to match exactly the task to edit the crontab.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/">iTunes</a> library is one thing I am using day by day. iTunes is even great for converting audio material. In case of that it may happen, that there are tracks inside the library who are not on the harddisk anymore. I hate inconsistent data, so I searched for a way to get rid of those data zombies. They are displayed with an exclamation mark in front of the title name.</p>
<div id="attachment_1125" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 590px"><img src="http://www.markuszeller.com/wp-content/uploads/superremovedeadtracks.jpg" alt="Super Remove Dead Tracks" title="Super Remove Dead Tracks" width="580" height="70" class="size-full wp-image-1125" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Super Remove Dead Tracks</p></div>
<p>On a Mac almost everything is scriptable, and so is iTunes. One of those free cleaners is <a href="http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper">Super Remove Dead Tracks</a>. Install it as described, then restart iTunes. From the scripts menu bar select the Super Remove Dead Tracks and just wait for completion. At the end, a logfile is placed on the desktop, so that you can see what was removed. If something went wrong, you can restore the files from the trashcan.</p>

<p>In my bargain bin I found some 3.5 inch harddrives. In fact I do not have a PC, but like a salvager I can not sell such gadgets too cheap to someone who does not use it with dignity. But having extra space for data backup is anyhow nice.</p>
<p>Moreover I do not have a external USB port to use them and I do not want screw and unscrew all the time.</p>
<p>Then I tried to find a cool adapter and I found one below 30 Euro!</p>
<p>With the <a href="http://wintech-products.de/index.php?seite=detail&#038;id=1032">Wintech adapter</a> you can connect 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives as IDE or SATA. In the package are cables for SATA power and data connection as well as a power supplier for 3.5 drives. No driver is needed. Just plug and use.</p>
<p>During writing this I am doing a backup and the speed rocks continuous with a little bit more than 22 MB per second on a 3.5 inch Samsung 160 GB drive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The T-Com Speedport router model W701 V has like many other hardware some hidden talents, but they need to be awaken with the help of tricks. <a href="http://www.netzwelt.de/news/75687_2-kurztest-t-com-router-speedport-w-701v.html">Netzwelt.de</a> wrote an article about the compability of the Speedport hardware and that it would be almost the same like the <a href="http://www.avm.de/de/Service/Service-Portale/Service-Portal/index.php?portal=FRITZ!Box_Fon_WLAN_7050">AVM FritzBox 7050</a>, except for missing a USB port.</p>
<p>Speedport&#8217;s original firmware has some bad properties. After login it resizes the browsers window, the interface is ugly and some items seem to be misplaced in my opinion. But, all in one it is ok.</p>
<p>Due to I am having T-Home, I am forced to use the Speedport router because of the built in Modem. I just wanted to use my TimeCapsule only, but that did not work, because I do not get any internet connection then.</p>
<p>In former times I already a had FritzBox and was impressed how far it succeeded with useful options. It was even possible in those days to connect a USB capable printer and to print wireless via WLAN. But now, AVM has implemented state of the art features which are really useful for home users or small networks. It provides now USB-support for harddrives and memory sticks and even sharing them with FTP and SMB, VPN tunneling, call answer machine, fax sending/receiving and many more.</p>
<p>Refering to that article mentioned above, I began some research and found some solutions how to get the AVM firmware to the Speedport.</p>
<p>It is not working by just uploading it the normal way! You need to somewhat compile your own thing out of both firmwares. See my steps, and it will work really easy.</p>
<p>Here is my installation guide for Mac users, but with some fantasy you may adapt it for your own purpose:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Disclaimer! YOU ARE DOING ALL THAT AT YOUR OWN RISK! YOUR HARDWARE MAY GET DAMAGED. Read carefully and make sure to understand before doing anything.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>First of all, get the <a href="http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-500-i386-businesscard.iso">Debian businesscard edition</a> (36 MB). The compiling scripts do require some apt libraries which are not available on OS X by default. The stable CD/DVD of Debian 5 crashed during my installation within <a href="http://www.parallels.com/de/products/desktop/">Parallels Desktop 4</a>.</p>
<p>Begin to create a virtual machine with Parallels by running the assistant. Set the just downloaded Debian 5 ISO file as the CD/DVD drive. Parallels will automatically detect everything what is needed. When the machine starts for the first time and asks you for the installation method, I recommend you to go to the options and select the graphical unattended one. The installation will download everything what is required.</p>
<p>When done, log in as a normal user, because no root access is required. Use the browser icon from the menu bar to download the <a href="https://freetzlinux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freetzlinux/download_speed-to-fritz.sh">master script</a> doing all the nasty work for you. For the ease of use, I have created a short URL to type less. You can use the same<code>http://kURL.de/opupi</code>in your address bar. If you get a hint, that you have no internet, have a look at the top right corner of your menubar left next to the clock and calendar. There should be a tiny icon and if you click it, you can select a cable network connection. Then reload the script and you should see it&#8217;s source text. Store it with menu file, save as. Change the download folder to Desktop!</p>
<p>Open a <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">root</span> terminal window via the menu bar applications, then tools. Go the Desktop directory where the downloaded shell script is located by typing<code>cd Desktop</code>Pay attention to the letter case on unix systems! Start the script by typing <code>sh ./download_speed-to-fritz.sh</code>This will do some downloads and may take some time. Now, we change to the new files and run the first script, which will install some needed libraries to continue.<code>cd trunk/speed-to-fritz</code><code>sh ./install-start</code></p>
<p><strong>Follow the instructions and read carefully</strong>. If everything is done it will start the module configurator which has a nice interface where you can use the cursor keys to change options. Then it downloads the needed firmwares and will re-image them. When you are prompted to reset the router, turn it off! Wait 10 seconds and power it on again. Then the firmware will be installed. <strong>Do not interrupt until it is complete</strong>!</p>
<p>Then you can access the router over same IP as before or just with <code>http://fritz.box</code>All the settings are still kept.</p>
<p>If you made a mistake, you can re-run the last script and restore to the original firmware or just customize other things.</p>
<p>Now I am so happy beeing able to receive faxes and missed calls running on my answering machine by mail to my iPhone!</p>
