I use my blog to record and share my knowledge, but also to present to possible employers my skills. I use it like a marketing tool for my persona. For this, I need to make available not only the RSS and twitter account, but also resume profiles like Xing, LinkedIn and Facebook.

How to add SyntaxHilight in a child theme for the Wordpress blog. THis way you'll be able to update your theme without losing the additional scripts that customise it. Or move to another theme while keeping your favorite scripts attached to it.
Few easy steps to add your Silverlight application to your favorite blogging system (mine is Wordpress).
As a Ruby developer, I work quite a lot with their “special” plugins called gems. The nice fact about the gems is that they bring lots of functionality. By example, there’s a gem for paginating a collection who takes just few parameters and not only that finds out how many objects the collection has, but also how to split them, generating the corresponding links and serving to the original container (that used to show the entire collection) only the collection part that is representative in the context of current page and items per page.

While working in Uni Bonn, I wanted to add ui-icon to JQuery tabs.

Windows Live Writer is one of the most popular blog authoring tool that I also happen to like and use because of its features – I especially enjoy the Preview tab. But it has a drawback - no Syntax Highlighting of my code! Let me tell you how I solved this issue.
So I applied for Technorati enrollment and they gave me the KNQ3S98TZ58S token for verification. I have to just create a new blog entry and publish in it to verify my domain claim. That’s the price to get into their area. Enjoy!

While working on my webslice, I wanted to add some content to let the users know what’s happening on the website. So I was thinking to provide some random posts from my blog. 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? I started digging in MySQL help (soon I should become a guru 😉 ) and find out that it is quite simple if all you want to do is to return some random rows from a table, […]
