Do you want to be on the bleeding edge and use NetBeans nightly builds?

Then you might have noticed that the last version is still of July, 9th. There is a technical problem uploading the bits to the usual location. But, nightly builds are still available.

Try to get it directly from the Hudson server [1]. Just one little drawback: Only the zip version is available, not the installer. But, it should be no problem to use this distribution 😉

Update: A couple of hours after this post, NB nightly became functional again [2]. Keep the link above for further usage.

Have you seen my interactive book list at it-rezension.de?

Behind the scenes it is a JSF application. I announced, to write about the techniques from time to time.

Today a bit about layout. I use, as you might belive, CSS. And some of the hot CSS3 features. Here is the part to create the fixed navigation: Continue reading “CSS3 at it-rezension.de”

Some time ago, I reported about my fall near the bottom of the Anaga bally. A security rail fall as if it had been build upon sand only.

Here a photo:

The path from Almáciga to the coastal road winds its way down the steep slope. A villager comes the way up. He is in no hurry and remains at a railing to let us pass. At the next bend in ways we have a magnificent panorama. Perfect for a photo. The slope falls steeply down, but there is a railing in front. And so we stand here for the photo. “Go back one step, then I get you more into the picture,” says Lotte. We move a little bit. In doing so I will deal with the hand backwards for the railings, in order to determine how far it still is. But I do not feel any resistance. I can see how the safety railings fall down, as it is plugged into sand only. Grabbing into emty space, I lose my balance. With a surprised-frightened “Oh” I fall back steeply downhill. My visual field disappears. Instinctively, I closed my eyes. I feel, how it goes down in rotation. Here and there I hit hard onto something. Hopefully it stops soon, I think. Then, a bash. Finally, I stopped.

A few days later, I read in the firefighters and newspaper report that I am plunged 25 meters into the depths.

Well, now I’m on the mend, but still have to do slowly. In the institute, lots of work is waiting for me. And so I ask for your understanding that some articles that I have announced for this blog need a little longer.

Newspaper reports in Spanish und German. And a foto.

The operation of a Web server costs a lot.  And so I had kept a little space for advertising, hoping to cover a small portion of operating costs. And in the period from November to March the "huge amount" of just over 50 € has come about. Until Google locked to the account for allegedly invalid click activity. Why, is not to hear about from Google. Thus, it leaves the bitter aftertaste of arbitrariness.

But I could make a big advantage: Every time I've spent an evening at the PC, I have checked (sometimes several times), how many page impressions there were, and whether or not finally someone has clicked on an ad. This is now over. The time I save not to check the statistics, it is worth more than the little bit of what would have been income from the advertising. By now, my default search engine is a different one.
