Howto use Wilmaa in Germany

Today i wanna provide some cool trick to bypass the ip control of wilmaa, if you don't know wilmaa, wilmaa is a service to watch tv live online in a pretty good quality, the only problem is: the service is just available for citizen living in switzerland.

The trick is to have a proxy in your browser piping all your traffic through an server in switzerland.

I use the chrome plugin zenmate to accomplish this, and it works damn good :) 

Happy watching where ever you are in the world.

Lessons lerned "Macbook crash"

Today i want to share my lessons i learned while my macbook was in repair ( 8 Days ), damn it was such a long time.

First point and most important point: Don't ever trust your Macbook, yeah Apple is cool, but its just electronic it can die like everything on earth

Have a Time Machine backup and your daily files in a dropbox.

Don't trust your mysql server, backup the database via git hooks ;)

Save your Apache + PHP configs somewhere in the case Time Machine does not backup them

Try to google the error, if you don't find an answer try to reinstall with "alt" pressed while booting ( assumed you have a backup)

Have a backup PC + Phone with your Dev Environment preinstalled

In the worst case check multiple repair shops and ask them how long the repair lasts 

ULTRA TRICK: Have a second Macbook and mirror it over night ;)

Howto debug Websites on Ipad, Iphone without having an Ipad or Iphone

Recently i faced the problem of: How do i debug Websites on an Iphone, Ipad without Ipad, Iphone.

The solution was pretty simple. Xcode comes with the Tool IOS-Simulator built-In. You can reach it under Xcode-> Open Developer Tool -> IOS-Simulator. 

Under Hardware -> Devices you can select which Device u want to test, also you can change the orientation. 

The best is: Now open the Website in Safari in your Simulated Device, then open your Safari on your Mac. If you have the Developer Tab enabled you will see under Developer -> Ipad/Iphone-Simulator the opened Tab of your Simulator Device. 

Now you can debugg even better. My Problem with the Safari Developer Tools is, its not as flexible as the Chrome Developer Tool, but better then no tool to be honest!

Howto test Retina on none Retina Devices?

Today i faced the problem that i wanted to test how my Website looks on Retina Devices with the pixeldensity of 2.0.

I used my friend Google and found the Answer on stackoverflow.

So here is how it works, its freaking simple to be honest.

Start your Firefox 

Go in your "about:config"

Search for "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" and set the value to 2.0 

Thats it, now you can test

Podio for Projectmanagement in an University

Podio is a projectmanagement tool like Basecamp and other products on the market. 2 month ago we where on the search for a projectmanagement tool for our autonom organization called "Verfassung der Studierendenschaft" in our University to push the communication between the members to the next level.

So far so good after 2 months of testing we don't regret the step in any way so far. We tested tools like basecamp, zoho, redmine but come on these tools are fugging expensive and ugly, lag of features ... 

Our requriements where:

easy to use ( who doens't like self explaining things)

possibility to access data via api ( very useful for connecting it with our website)

cheap our free ( checkpot, podio is free for universities)

flexible modules to grow the app with our needs

chat (no hassle of switching to facebook etc.)

possibility to mention ppl like in facebook (greatest feature ever made, lets me freak out every time)

possibility to assign tasks to ppl

possibility to have projects with a projectstatus 1% 10% 100%

nice ui

link files to dropbox and google drive (yeah its not a dream)

Thats what podio covers to 100% and what we are happy for, this kinda sounds like an ad, maybe it is one maybe not. Im just kinda happy to have such an tool, makes a breezy to manage your stuff.

Just test it, i guess the is a demo account 

PS: i forgot, you can have multible workspaces, for each suborganization one ;)

How to setup a Google Chrome Extension / App

Welcome , some days ago i had the idea to setup a chrome extension to make some stuff simpler for me, in my case it was manipulating a websites behavior. I will explain below how you can get your extension in the chrome store and thus global public available.

Sign up for a developer Account at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard and pay the 5$ fee. 5$ right its cheap but not free ;)

Read the developer "get started" http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted.html

Build your app. A good idea  is to download a sample app and modify this to your needs, like in my case. I used Jquery + Bootstrap in addition to build fast.

For the submission you need:

your app directory with manifest.json zipped

a description of your app

a logo ala 128x128

a screenshot of your app 1280x800 or 640x40

a website in webmaster-tools u can connect to

press the submit button

Common pitfalls in my case:

I cannot trigger the click on an button with $(".button").click() = try this $(".buton", document).click()

My listeners ala $(".button").on("click",function) are not fired on change = try $(document).on("DOMSubtreeModified",function) and put inside of the function your update rules

I want to save stuff persistent over browser sessions = try chromes build in apis ala chrome.storage.sync

I hope this helps you to get started faster ;)

Rotaract Stuttgart - "Kauf 1 mehr Aktion"

Kinda long delayed im proud to announce now this post, its about social engagement, in specific its about the social engagement of the Rotaract Stuttgart Club.

When a friend of me invited me to join the Rotaract community in Stuttgart i have to admit i had doubts. But after some monthly meetups with the crew the doubts about joining disappeared because there are great people and its a great opportunity to learn an help and have fun.

You may ask what the hell the pictures above are about. Clam down, i will tell you now. The Picture above started with the idea of establishing a new way of helping people, we wanted to give something essential to people with few money. The "Kauf 1 mehr aktion" was born, the idea is to convince people tapping in a store to buy an additional piece of whatever they buy preferred long lasting articles like rice, pasta etc.

On 25.5 was our day we pulled off the action a Foodstore in Zuffenhausen (Stuttgart). The final outcome was amazing we had around 25 boxes of food filled by convinced people. In the end the food was picked up by the "Tafel Stuttgart" and forwarded to people with few money. 

All in all pretty successful for the first time.
