Be careful when copying information from this article! The paper is already published and you will be charged with plagiarism! My thesis proposes several approaches as result of the research questions. Their validity of each approach should be verified by allowing users to interact with a prototype built to fulfill all the proposed solutions. Hence, the final users will prove the correctness of this thesis approaches. The implemented prototype will be a brainstorming supporting application. Because my thesis studies brainstorming on a tabletop, I will choose the Microsoft Surface as the underlying hardware because it supports multitouch and multiuser experience. […]

I am very close to finish another project in Fraunhofer FIT: IdeaPitch on the Microsoft Surface.

Most of us know how to use the WordPress default methods to get the posts, to ask for random ones, but how to do it outside the warm WordPress environment?

This is the second part of managing WordPress feature of post revisions, for the users who had disabled or turned off post revisions tracking or versions history feature. As you already know, this feature exists in WordPress (starting with WordPress 2.6). After disable it (of course, if you really need to do that), it also make sense to also delete and remove all existing stored post revisions.
