I got up to late today and my ticket list is ways to long plus I need to finish some work for a client. However - the weather is fine today and I don’t feel stressed or something like that. I bought the new Roots Manuva and really like it. I had a “club-mate” and a delicious Panini toast (yummy) and I am very looking forward to have an after work beer - in about 2 hours

At my work we usually do Java/JSP stuff but a few weeks I did a small PHP Job here and today I made the statistic in mysql. Actually nothing special but a welcome change if you imagine stupid JSP Struts tasks day in and day out and boring style-stasi requests from project managers and so on. But I am hip to the spirit and love computer work - or at least the creative-innovative part of it - the rest I try to reject and forget. Actually it is always the same - some project manager come up with a kick ass idea and then during the production it gets reduced to something really boring and forgettable unimportant whatsoever.

My coffee is empty [...] ^^

A Project manager recently emailed me about a non working link but without to mention which link he was taking about, so I replied: «What kind of link, in what situation - how can I reproduce it?» - After a short while he sent me a screen shot and said it would happen when he clicks on a flash file. (Why does he bother me? He has sent me the flash file and someone else created it.)

Nevertheless I am a very kind IT guy and explained the issue to him - So I wrote him that a link to an external resource always consist out of: 1) a protocol name, 2) an instruction for the browser that it is an external resource :// and finally 3) the domain name and last but not least the TLD and optional paths or parameters.

You may call me a fault finder but that’s something that happened not the first time. I guess this is a classic example of: stupid new media. People who are working in the new media should knew what a friggin link is - especially when they are Project Manager of a website!

It took us 3 weeks more than expected(stupid things like a missing index = up to 140 server-load) but since last week medizin-online.de it’s online. YAY! However! Tomorrow we’ll go to Sylt and to be more precise to »List«, relaxing for 3-4 Days at the beach and maybe doing a day trip to Rømø. I really love the northern part of Germany - because that’s where I’m from and »List« is “the northernmost municipality in Germany, located on the North Sea island of Sylt close to Denmark in the district of Nordfriesland in the state of Schleswig-Holstein (wiki)“.

On the way back we’ll visit my family, especially my Grandma, Mom and Cousin, because I haven’t seen them for quite a while. I guess 2 Years for now and plus that: my Dear haven’t seen Hamburg yet! Haha, that’s a lot of things to do in just 5 Days. 3 Cities and approximately 1.000 km by car - but the beach will excuse everything

It took a while but it’s finally online. Just abuse your mouse and click on the screenshot below to view the site. Nothing special and I’ve saw a few minutes ago I gotta fix some stuff but visually it’s ok and everthing seems to work. SBM is my first project I’ve done with struts. I do not like struts that much - actually it sucks IMHO but that’s just me
