Planet Fachschaftsumfeld

To propagate weblog usage and acceptability, a subsection of this page aggregates different weblogs of the people surrounding the students' representation of our computer science departement: Planet Fachschaftsumfeld

Weblogging and RSS

RDF Logo
  • my weblog (latest entry is also visible on the right of this page)
  • I'm the author of the Grr RSS Aggregator application for GNUstep and OSX.
  • A wonderful article about RSS standards by Mark Pilgrim.

Objective-C und GNUstep

I've been working a lot with GNUstep and Objective-C during my studies. I devoted a small section on my homepage to these projects: My GNUstep projects

I'm the author of a RSS reader and a dictionary application that run on Etoile and GNUstep. I'm also submitting bugreports and patches to both of these projects.

There's also an introductory article (german) on Objective-C, which I did for the Proseminar Programmiersprachen (small seminar about programming languages) in the 3rd semester. programming language. (Also take a look at the Proseminar Programmiersprachen homepage)

CDROM The Grr RSS Reader can be found on the excellent GNUstep Live CD by Gürkan Sengün.

Debian GNU/Linux RSS Reader can also be found in Debian Stable (Sarge). (This is an outdated version, though.)

CSS-extended pal calendar

Calendar

One day I found out that the calendar application I use, pal, does not support different cascading stylesheets for different event categories when exporting the calendar to HTML. This patch does the trick. (Right, it's an ugly hack, but it works. :-))

Note to the HTML-Writers out there: The classes of the different categories are named "category-?", where the '?' is to be replaced by the number of the category. The categories are numbered according to their appearance in the pal.conf configuration file.

Trash Can

This is the "trash can" part of the homepage. You can find several useless things here, including rejected logo-concepts for the Linux User Group Kaiserslautern and a collection of ASCII cow images.
