Java Applets-pages updated
Being also a Mac OS X user since the first day, I didn't like the fact that the applets on my homepage only worked with very few OS X browsers. I have checked several times and read a lot of documentation and I'm sure that there is a bug in OS X's appletviewer which has to do with parsing URLs. My used URL-scheme (for example ?location=applets/vlife/index) seems to confuse the URL parser.
Today I discovered a way to get all applets in spite of this problem to work by using absolute applet paths.
I have checked with every Java-enabled browser on my systems and now it works everywhere! All pages in the Java Applets section have been changed - some were even relayouted for better "user experience".

Unveiling OS3.9's AmiDock Easteregg... :-)
Yes - you perhaps never did expect that but AmiDock has an Easteregg, too... :)
As I do not know a not trustful person which could be used to spread around how this Easteregg is accessible by rumors, I had to describe it myself on my homepage... ;-)
If you're interested, please read on...

ExifRenamer V2.0 released
This version is completely rewritten from scratch and contains a lot of new features. The most important of all is, that it's now possible to fully customize the naming styles. Now there also is a better interactive mode with file preview. More then ten new features have been added and a lot of problems of the old version were solved. ExifRenamer now should be perfectly suited for normal and professional photographers.

Completely rewritten homepage is now online
qdev.de alt After almost 4 years it was time for a completely redesigned homepage. As "memory" to the old page you can have a look at the old main page on the left (click to enlarge). The old design had too much restrictions if it came to external links, multi-language support, etc. Besides that, the old homepage was hostet on a server which didn't allow to run custom scripts. This was the reason why I had to use a external guestbook (including ad banners...) and external counters.

These and other problems now belong to history!
All pages are now hostet on a big bundle of puretec, which does provide beside a lot of storage space nice features like custom scripts/CGIs and also database-access. On this platform it was possible to establish the new design.

I was asked again and again to also provide a German version of my hompage. Now I have decided to provide the whole content in two languages (Germand and English). The needed effort for translation was tremendous. The new homepage identifies your preferred language on your browser's language setting and displays all pages accordingly. Should you want to change the language, then just klick on corresponding flag on the top right.

With the new design all problems with external links are finally solved. In the past, external links propably pointed to sub-pages; because of this, the navigation-bars were suppressed - the main pages were not reachable easily. Because I wanted to avoid JavaScript for compability, there was no suitable solution for the old homepage. The new design - made completely without frames - allows a correct display.

Speaking of compability: The new homepage was tested on all reachable browsers (running on AmigaOS, MacOS, Windows, Linux, QNX, WindowsCE) and displayed correctly. This is possible, because I consequently avoided to use CSS, JavaScript, Java-Navigation-Applets or Browser-proprietary features.

All former external tools like the guestbook and counters are now running directly on qdev.de - the response time improved and I could eliminate all ads of external companies by doing so.

The page content has been extended drastically; a lot of sub-pages were added to the categories Amiga and Electronics. The different sub-pages were also re-layouted. A summary of all changes would be too long. Searching about these new pages is surely not wrong...

But now have a lot of fun with the new qdev.de!

PS: If someone finds typos or errors in the content, then I would be happy to get a short notification!

Studies finished (the first one)!
Today I got my diploma - I now have successfully finished my studies of Computer Science at the Fachhochschule Regensburg!
But as you may know, I'm some sort of crazy: my next goal is to study Physics at the University of Regensburg. Physics was and is very interesting to me and as this is propably the last chance in my life to study physics, I decided to do it... :)
