			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nun, hierbei handelt es sich um ein Stöckchen von <a href="#mce_temp_url#">AgentSmith</a>. Die Frage ergibt sich aus dem Titel&#8230; also, was ich schon immer einmal machen wollte.</p>
<p>Aaaalso.</p>
<ul>
<li>Zunächst hab ich ein dringendes Bedürfnis danach, etwas bedeutendes (und wie auch immer geartetes) zu erreichen.</li>
<li>Außerdem will ich dringend mal ein gut funktionierendes und von einigen Leuten benutzt werdendes <span style="color: #808080;">(ja, ich liebe Partizipien) </span>Software-Projekt (fertig-)schreiben.</li>
<li>Ich würde auch gerne einmal zum Mond fliegen (das will ich, seit ich ungefähr fünf Jahre alt bin).</li>
<li>Ich würde auch gerne mal ein RFC schreiben, dass beantragt, Tagen zukünftig mehr als 24 Stunden zu geben. (Sowas wie IPv6 für Tage)</li>
<li>Nun, da ich jetzt viel mehr Zeit hab, würde ich gerne ein schönes, großes Haus entwerfen und bauen (lassen)&#8230;</li>
<li>Und ich würde gerne mal ein paar Sprachen <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">lernen</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">können</span> (das Lernen würd ich mir gerne sparen)</li>
<li>Hachja, und sonst - einmal so richtig kindisch sein, herumalbern, frei sein, niemanden haben, der einem Vorschriften macht, Erwartungen an einen stellt, Sachen von einem wissen oder erledigt haben will&#8230; ihr wisst schon, wass ich meine.</li>
</ul>
<div>Und dann gibt&#8217;s immer noch ein paar Sachen, die ich temporär gerne haben würde, jetzt zum Beispiel luzide Träume haben, Kekse kaufen gehen, etc. (Ersteres muss ich trainieren, für letzteres bräuchte ich ein offenes Geschäft. Und wo findet man das schon um halb eins?)</div>
<div></div>
<div>Naja, so long, Jannis.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hallo, liebe Freunde des geschriebenen Wortes,</p>
<p>heute möchte ich mich einmal mehr einer gesellschaftlichen Angelegenheit zuwenden.</p>
<p>Ihr kennt sicher alle die Suchmaschine <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Gurken">Google</a>, die 1998 von zwei Studenten gegründet wurde und inzwischen Suchmonopolist ist. Wir haben ja alle schon immer Angst gehabt, sie würden ihr Monopol irgendwannschamlos ausnutzen – peu à peu haben sie das ja schon immer gesteigert, zunächst die eindeutigen Cookies, dann Google Analytics, und so fort. Aber naja, sie haben ja immer gesagt: »We&#8217;re not evil!«. Jedes Mal hat man sich gedacht: »Doch, seid ihr.«.</p>
<p>Heute haben sie noch einen Schritt in die Richtung getan: Es scheint sich <em>SearchWiki</em> oder so ähnlich zu nennen und bietet für den unbedarften Nutzer die Funktionen, Suchergebnisse als gut oder schlecht zu bewerten sowie Kommentare dazu zu speichern. Die Voraussetzung ist natürlich ein Google-Account.</p>
<p>Das ist aus datenschützerischen Gründen schonmal nicht so gut, denn Google speichert dann natürlich (und logischerweise) im Zusammenhang mit deinem Google-Benutzernamen und deiner IP-Adresse (ist ja bekannt), wie du über welches Suchergebnis (welche Seite) im Zusammenhang mit welchem Begriff denkst. Bewertest du zum Beispiel den <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Gurken">Wikipedia-Artikel zu Tomaten</a> beim Suchbegriff »<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Gurken">Gurken</a>« negativ, so weiß Google, dass du keine Tomaten magst. <img src='http://itisme.org/Blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Was allerdings noch viel schlimmer ist: Google (zur Zeit nur die englische Seite) ersetzt die Links zu den Suchergebnissen zu Links der Form</p>
<p>http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&amp;start=1&amp;q=<a href="http://example.com/"><strong>http://ziellink.com/</strong></a>&amp;usg=<em><strong>eine-ID</strong></em></p>
<p>- hierdurch werden alle angeklickten Suchergebnisse erstmal über Google geleitet, die speichern, wo du hingeklickt hast und danach erst dich weiterleiten (Siehe Screenshot). Das tun sie glücklicherweise (bis jetzt) nur, wenn man bei Google angemeldet ist. Daher hab ich jetzt meine Browser angewiesen, keine Cookies von *.google.com mehr zu akzeptieren, außerdem verwende ich Dienste wie iGoogle jetzt nicht mehr. Es gibt ja glücklicherweise Alternativen.</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://itisme.org/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/url.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-76" title="Faked URL" src="http://itisme.org/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/url-300x143.png" alt="" width="300" height="143" /></a></p>
<p>Mein Fazit: Google <em>is </em>evil. Aber das wussten wir ja schon. Irgendwie finde ich aber, das hier sprengt das Fass und bringt den Rahmen zum Überlaufen.</p>
<p>So long, Jannis.</p>
<p>Nachtrag: ich habe inzwischen bemerkt, dass Google das auch schon vorher per JavaScript gemacht hat (was nicht so auffällig ist). Jedoch wäre man da zumindest beim Abschalten von JavaScript sicher gewesen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I already posted (in my looong diary post) that I&#8217;d like to turn off spell checking globally on Mac OS X. Googling didn&#8217;t really help - I found links that explained how to <a href="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=609895&amp;postcount=7">disable the spell checker service</a>. But when doing like they tell, several applications complained that they couldn&#8217;t contact the spell checker service (via a dialog box) which is even more annoying than the red lines under words. In fact, Camino prompted me like &#8220;could not contact spell checker [OK]&#8221; for EVERY WORD I wrote, which I found out when using a pastebin service <img src='http://itisme.org/Blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s my sweet solution. How it works: It tells the spell checker that it should check spelling, but for NO language. It works like deleting all the NSLanguages parameters in its Info.plist. If you know what you&#8217;re doing, you can edit <em>/System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service/Contents/Info.plist </em>yourself (NSLanguages is an array in <em>Services » Item 1 </em>– or use my edited Info.plist, see paragraph below) - if not, I&#8217;ll assist you a little bit.</p>
<hr /><span id="more-67"></span><br />
First, download my <a href="http://itisme.org/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/info.plist">edited Info.plist</a>. Then, open a Terminal window (<em>Applications » Utilities » Terminal</em>) and type the following:</p>
<pre>sudo mv /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service/Contents/Info.plist /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service/Contents/Info.plist.bak</pre>
<p>Hit return and you will be prompted for your password. Don&#8217;t be confused of no characters appearing after the prompt, just type your password and hit return again. Paste the following into the terminal window now:</p>
<pre>sudo cp</pre>
<p>Insert a space and then drag the Info.plist you just downloaded on your terminal window. Type another space, then insert the following:</p>
<pre>/System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service/Contents/Info.plist</pre>
<p>Your line in the Terminal window should now look like this:</p>
<pre>sudo cp /Users/YourUserName/Downloads/Info.plist /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service/Contents/Info.plist</pre>
<p>(the string that appeared when you dragged the file onto the terminal window might look different) - Check if you didn&#8217;t forget a space, then hit return again. Eventually, you may be asked for your password again, but don&#8217;t worry if not, that&#8217;s all right, too.</p>
<p>Finally, type</p>
<pre>sudo killall AppleSpell</pre>
<p>and you&#8217;re done!</p>
<p>Hope somebody&#8217;s lucky with that,</p>
<p>Xjs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hallo mal wieder.</p>
<p>&lt;kalauer&gt;Wie ihr ja alle wisst, trinke ich gerne Kaffee. Wenn ich aber auf dem Macintosh Anwendungen entwickle, darf&#8217;s auch gerne mal Kakao sein. &lt;/kalauer&gt;</p>
<p>Naja, im Ernst. Gestern wurde ja mit den neuen iPod Nanos auch iTunes in der Version 8.0 veröffentlicht. Ich hatte mich ja schon drauf gefreut und es mir gleich heruntergeladen, in der Hoffnung, es sei (wie die Major-Release-Zahl vermuten liess) endlich mal ein komplettes Update, bei dem ein groesserer Teil der Codebasis neu geschrieben wurde (so wie das ja bei iMovie &#8216;08 auch der Fall war). Worauf ich mich am meisten freute, war die Umstellung vom alten Carbon-Framework auf Cocoa.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; "><em>Fuer die nicht-Macianer unter euch: Carbon ist ein Port der alten Oberflaechen-API von Mac OS 9, wohingegen Cocoa die »neue« API von Mac OS X/Aqua ist. Carbon ist natuerlich dementsprechend weniger performant als Cocoa.</em></p>
<p>Nunja, nach dem Installieren und erstmaligen Oeffnen fielen mir natuerlich gleich die offensichtlichen Aenderungen ins Auge (der Einstellungsdialog und auch die Ansicht fuer Mediendateien wurden geaendert, nachzulesen in saemtlichen Fanboy-Blogs ;-)) - es schien mir aber nicht deutlich schneller geworden zu sein. Auch der Druck auf die Ctrl-Taste veraenderte immernoch in alter Carbon-Manier den Mauszeiger, um zu zeigen, dass hier ein Kontextmenue moeglich sei.</p>
<p>Also hab ich mir das Ganze mal genauer angeschaut - und tatsaechlich: die Info.plist enthaelt den Schluessel »LSRequiresCarbon« mit dem Wert »true«. Schade, was? Ein Blick ins Binary verschaffte mir voellige Gewissheit: in der Symboltabelle ist /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework aufgefuehrt, der String »Cocoa« kommt nur im Aufruf »HICocoaViewCreate« (wohl aus dem Carbon-Framework, so firm bin ich da nicht) vor. Wieder mal negatives Karma fuer Apple Incorporated.</p>
<p>So, jetzt hab ich meinem Frust ein wenig Luft gelassen - vielleicht setze ich mich ja IRGENDWANN mal daran, eine iTunes-Alternative zu schreiben.</p>
<p>Bis dann, Jannis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I collected information about funny or confusing Mac OS X details, features, bugs and so on in a diary-like form in Stickies.app. Now it&#8217;s time to make this public.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>2008-05-27</strong></h2>
<p><strong></strong><em>Spotlight: folder1/folderx/filename.txt and folder2/folderx/filename.txt appear to be in folder1 and folder2, not in folder1/folderx and folder2/folderx. Left hand: useful, right hand: confusing.</em></p>
<p><span> </span>Proper English: You&#8217;ll sure have noticed that if you have two files with the same name and search for them with Spotlight, the name of the folder (directory&#8230;) they are in is displayed in gray letters after the file name. (Something like file1.txt – Stuff and file1.txt – Documents (Screenshot (!))). Now I think I&#8217;ll describe what I found out by giving you a step by step walkthrough how to reproduce it.</p>
<p>1. Take a folder of yours (I always take ~/Stuff for those sort of things).</p>
<p>2. (optional) create a sub-folder and give it a fancy name. Open it. (You don&#8217;t need to do this, but I like sub-folders. (Ask Nico, he&#8217;s always getting crazy about that (Hmm. I&#8217;m developing a lisp-like syntax for my writings.))). (&lt;&#8211;this looks weird)</p>
<p>3. (*NOT* optional) create two folders in your sub-folder (or wherever you want ;-)). Call them &#8230; say &#8220;folder1&#8243; and &#8220;folder2&#8243;.</p>
<p>4. Create a folder named &#8220;folderx&#8221; in each of the two folders you still know from step 3. It is important that the sub-folder is named the same in both folder1 and folder2. (You know what I mean?)</p>
<p>5. Create a file &#8220;file423.txt&#8221; (add some fancy numbers after the name to make sure it doesn&#8217;t appear somewhere else on your hard disk) in both &#8220;folderx&#8221;-es. This file&#8217;s name also gotta be the same in both folders. And it&#8217;s got to be *in* folderx.</p>
<p>6. Search for &#8220;file423.txt&#8221; (or however you called it) in Spotlight.</p>
<p>You will now see two entries: &#8220;file423.txt – folder1&#8243; and &#8220;file423.txt – folder2&#8243;. &#8216;Huh&#8217;, might you think, &#8216;I put them in folderx, not folder1 and folder2&#8230; has some minister who sits in a wheelchair moved them around?&#8217; (Especially when you – like I – find out this one when sitting in the train without internet connection). No, Spotlight is some sort of smart. It sees that even if it would write the folders after the files, it wouldn&#8217;t help because it still would be the same. So it goes up in the directory hierarchy till it finds out where the pathnames differ from each other, and prints that folder. The good thing: there *must* be a difference, otherwise the files would be in the same place (and have you ever seen two files named the same in the same place?). The bad thing is when you have&#8230; say /usr/local/gtk/include/gtk.h and /opt/local/gtk/include/gtk.h, it tells you that the one file is in /usr and the other one in /opt&#8230; that&#8217;s *really* confusing. A little snippet of the path would be betther in that case, I think. Somehting like &#8220;gtk.h – /usr/&#8230;/include/&#8221; and &#8220;gtk.h – /opt/&#8230;/include/&#8221;.</p>
<p>After installing z-OSX-Updates (10.4.z, 10.5.z) reinstall GNU coreutils if you like them. Because: OSX replaces them by its own coreutils. Nice, huh? Well, but PowerPC apps didn&#8217;t work for me (since about 05-15) &#8230; which was bad. With 10.5.3, they do work again *phew*.</p>
<p>My kernel was last changed on 05-23&#8230; hmmm&#8230; nice date &#8230;. Verschwoerungstheorie&#8230; huh&#8230; there was *no* software update around that date&#8230; or was there? HEEELP!!!</p>
<p>There are files appearing in my ~/Library/Application\ Support/pearLyrics/lyrics/ directory&#8230; which I have never listened to&#8230; help. I think they were created around 05-23 too <img src='http://itisme.org/Blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8230; actually 05-15.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>2008-06-01</h2>
<p>I still have got the problem with bezels in applications such as Mail or Colloquy, in which the number is displayed on the lower border of the bezel instead of centered (Sorry, I can&#8217;t find a screenshot of it.). That&#8217;s since &#8230; about 02-02 or so, and 10.5.3 hasn&#8217;t fixed it. It&#8217;s ultra-weird. Checking the source code in Colloquy, I could fix it with telling Colloquy to draw it to the upper border, now it&#8217;s centered again, but looks sluggish. The bug seems to be in [NSBezierPath AppendPathWithArcAndCenterOrSomethingLikeThat]. Funny thing is: this doesn&#8217;t happen on other user accounts, so I thought it had to be in ~. Now I logged out, moved ~/Library and ~/.[!.]* away (tarred the . files, but Library was too heavy, didn&#8217;t want to wait (/Stuff/Library should be enough, then, and Mac OS X definitely didn&#8217;t touch that directory). Now logged back in, seemed like a fresh user account (let alone the other data (pictures, documents, code) in ~). Started Colloquy on a local ircd, typed something&#8230; know what, the bezel problem still exists. WHY &#8230; WHY THE F*ING H*LL WHY?!?! I also moved aside my complete home directory and logged back in, but Mac OS X seemed to have noticed that and showed me &#8220;jannis2&#8243; instead of &#8220;jannis&#8221; as home in the Finder. Not on Terminal, though. (Slowly this is becoming a sort of chaotic diary.) I am really going to reinstall Mac OS X if I can&#8217;t solve that problem. It&#8217;s *REALLY* *F&#8217;ING* *ANNOYING* *!!!!* !. Yes, it is. (Sorry.) Anyhow, it can&#8217;t have to do anything with a framework *in* the .app bundle, cause it only happens on my user account. (I could perhaps create a new one and move to that one, but don&#8217;treallywantthaty&#8217;know).</p>
<p>Can one turn off &#8220;check spelling as you type&#8221; globally somehow? Annoying, too. I know how to write most of the words out there. It always underlines words like &#8220;NSBezierPath&#8221;, &#8220;don&#8217;treallywantthaty&#8217;know&#8221;, &#8220;jannis&#8221; (although it should at least know my first name, damn it&#8230;), &#8220;AppendPathWithArcAndCenterOrSomethingBeautifulLikeThatNiceFunctionYouKnowWhatIMeanErYesIReallyThinkSo&#8221; and other funny things. But none of the proper English text is ever ever underlined. (Not even if I mistype something&#8230; no, that was a (bad (at least I commit it)) joke). Oh, wait, there are even cases where something that&#8217;s really *right* and *spelled correctly* is underlined, that&#8217;s when I use two languages (that is, German and English) in one context (be it a sentence, a chat, a mail conversation, whatever). Even in this Stickies.app it fools me: I turned it off clicking &#8220;Edit » Check Spelling While Typing&#8221;, switched to another stickie, and what happened? underlined me fflush(). !!!111one eleven!.</p>
<p>Talking of Stickies.app: this nice and light blue cyan (cymbaline cirrus-minor cyspedelic (erm&#8230;)) stickie is getting *very* large. But I can&#8217;t delete it or change its color, because I&#8217;ve got another (dark blue) sticky which says &#8220;blog about that blue sticky in the lower left corner&#8221;. Well. It&#8217;s taking most of the screen now, not just the lower left corner. I think when I&#8217;m on the Net again, I&#8217;ll just copy and paste what&#8217;s written here into my Blog. You must read it, then, not I ;^P.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>2008-06-07</h2>
<p>Today was a hard day. I deleted my user account, recreated it and moved all the data from my old home folder back here. I sorted out ~/Library, copied only the most important stuff. Especially did I have a look at Application Support and Preferences, where I only copied some things which I didn&#8217;t wanna have to configure again. I *did* reconfigure most of my apps. Now the bug with the bezels is fixed. I still don&#8217;t know why it was. Especially because I did only change my home folder, and manually moving it aside didn&#8217;t work. Why? &#8230; Has anyone had the same problem (or still has)? Well, this *is* a solution, but it is very tiring. Time Machine takes an eternity to backup all the little NetNewsWire files in ~/Library, by the way. Did cost me some nerves.</p>

<p>Help. My MacBook blew my ears away today. Now I have found out what had lead to the problem: my httpd keeps crashing on launch, I don&#8217;t know why. Yesterday it still worked&#8230; I need to investigate this.</p>
<h3><span> </span>17.03</h3>
<p>Now I found out that it&#8217;s the PHP module that makes my server crashing. Guess how I found out? By disabling all modules one by one. But I need PHP.</p>
<h3><span> </span>17.42</h3>
<p>When Denis from MobileMacs mentioned it about Safari 4, I found that the iScrobbler Info window in the Finder has the option &#8220;open in 32 bit mode&#8221;. In the info.plist is written the following: /Users/jannis/Pictures/Screenshots/64-Bit\ Info.plist.png . By the way: I&#8217;m going to re-compile PHP. Nothing works.</p>
<h3><span> </span>17.50</h3>
<p>Erm, hello? iScrobbler doesn&#8217;t work?! GRR!!! I&#8217;ll reinstall Mac OS X.</p>
<p><span> </span>Igh? It works when turning on 32-bit mode. Does that mean that 64-Bit apps don&#8217;t work any longer? WTF? (By the way, Apache is also a 64-bit-process. But it worked without the libphp.so, so maybe only that one is compiled in 64 bit, or it doesn&#8217;t apply to all my 64-bit-apps.</p>
<h3><span> </span>18.01</h3>
<p>Phew. It works again after I&#8217;ve done a PRAM reset. Does that mean that my mod_php work again?</p>
<h3><span> </span>18.05</h3>
<p>Yes, it does. Good. Again a *big* PHEW!</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>2008-06-23</h2>
<p>I put my MacBook into sleep mode (that is, I closed the lid) and – after a while – opened it again. Now I noticed that I hadn&#8217;t been asked for my password when opening it, which is bad. Going into System Preferences, although, I found that the checkbox for &#8220;Require password to wake the computer from sleep or screen saver&#8221; was checked. Unchecked it, checked it again, same case. Unchecked it, logged out, logged back in, checked it, worked. Anyway, I wonder why – though I didn&#8217;t investigate further where this option is saved, etc.. Anyone had the same problem or knows the answer?</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>2008-06-25</h2>
<p>My Grayscale Icon collection is growing. By now, I got grayscale icons for *breathing deeply* Activity Monitor (Icon and CPU bars), Address Book, Mail, Console, Dashboard, Dictionary, Finder, iCal, Icon Composer, iPhoto, iTunes, Linkinus, NetNewsWire, Pages, Photo Booth, Photoshop, Preview, QuickShareIt, QuickTime Player, Safari, Smultron, Stickies, and TextEdit. I like the looks of a completely grayscale desktop very much.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>2008-06-26</h2>
<p>HardwareGrowler won&#8217;t keep running. I made a GeekTool entry that shows me if it runs, and if I start HardwareGrowler manually, ten seconds later it&#8217;s quitted again. It says EXC_BAD_ACCESS/KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE in the crash log. That is, SEGV ;-). Need to check for a new version or try and debug it.</p>
<h3><span> </span>20.36</h3>
<p>ouch. Just saw that I wrote &#8216;grep &#8220;HardwareGrowler&#8221; file &amp;&amp; $error&#8217; instead of &#8216;grep &#8220;HardwareGrowler&#8221; file || $error&#8217;&#8230; rocket science. Still, *sometimes* it crashes, or there wouldn&#8217;t be crash reports.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>2008-07-23</h2>
<p>Okay, HardwareGrowler crashes always when changing into sleep mode. Does anybody know how to execute a script when waking from sleep?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, dearest friends of Synchronizing!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve now got an invitation for a service I have known for some time: <a href="http://getdropbox.com">Dropbox</a>. With Dropbox, you can set up a directory for syncing, which is then synced to their server and over several computers. It&#8217;s similar to <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">.Mac</span> MobileMe. – If you like an invitation, comment here. I&#8217;ve only got 10 invites, and I&#8217;ll go by seriousity of the requests.</p>
<p><strong>EDIT: I was invited by another person, so I&#8217;ve now two accounts&#8230;<br />
This means I&#8217;ve now got 16 invitations left!</strong></p>
<p>All the best, Jannis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, by the way: Dropbox works for Mac OS X and Windows, not for Linux (sorry).</p>

This day &#8230; will stay in your minds for ages. Why? Because it&#8217;s my birthday.
No, seriously, I just felt like blogging about getting older. Do what you like with this post, but I liked the idea.
So long, Jannis.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi!</p>
<p>Vor einiger Zeit bat mich ein Bekannter, fuer ihn eine Kleinigkeit (ein scrollendes Menue) in Javascript zu implementieren. Bis dahin waren meine Javascript-Kenntnisse nicht besonders ausgepraegt. Im Rahmen dessen hab ich einiges dazugelernt, teilweise durch Code-Lesen oder <a href="http://de.selfhtml.org">SELFHTML</a>.</p>
<p>Was mir allerdings in #selfhtml im IRC empfohlen wurde, war ein sehr huebsches Tutorial nahmens <a href="http://eloquentjavascript.net">&#8220;Eloquent JavaScript&#8221;</a>. Das ist ein Schritt-fuer-Schritt-Onlinekurs fuer Javascript. Das Beste daran ist allerdings die interaktive Javascript-Konsole, die man einblenden und in die man Code eingeben kann, der sofort ausgefuehrt wird (<em>eval()</em> macht&#8217;s moeglich). Das ist natuerlich super zum Ueben.</p>
<p>Man kann sich das Tutorial auch als Archivdatei runterladen und auf den eigenen Server schieben (ich hab&#8217;s auf localhost), der eloquentjavascript.net-Server ist bisweilen etwas langsam.</p>
<p>Hoffe, es gefaellt,</p>
<p>Jannis.</p>

I hope, you all saw the article about the &#8220;telecom package&#8221;. That&#8217;s horrible I think. I recommend all of you reading the article. Contact your MEPs if possible and blog about it. This may never happen.
