Developers Orbit

Hey so for a while now we have been using the Zend Framework (1.5) to develop out newest product or at least internal project and since I have to do some work with E-Mails I wanted to share some stuff with you.

We have built an alternative to imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist since we did not want to relay on any php modules the Zend Framework doesn’t depend on. Read more

In den nächsten Einträgen in diesem Blog wird es darum, gehen wie man Gesellschafter einer Firma werden kann. Ich erzähle hier von meinen eigenen Erfahrungen, daher kann es bei euch deutlich abweichen - in Salzgitter wird dieses Erlaubnis nämlich gar nicht mehr ausgeschrieben.

Also erst einmal muss man einen Brief an das Vormundschaftsgericht oder Amtsgericht schicken. In diesem Brief habe ich 4 einzelne Blätter beigelegt gehabt: Read more

This is not exactly something to do with developing, but I just have too use my graficcard in some way since I don’t ever play games.

So there are 3 things I want to introduce.

First there is “VistaGlazz” it can be downloaded from http://www.codegazer.com/vistaglazz/ and is free of charge like all the things I am talking about in this post (except Vista).VistaGlazz is stable, if you don’t have SP1 installed and in Beta 2 for those who do have SP1 on their machines (like myself). What it does you might ask, when you maximize your window the top isn’t see thru anymore, this application changes this by patching some ,dll files. After a restart it will look like this(Image 1).

Since Firefox’s interface will still not be see thru (Image 2) there is this plug-in called Glasser it makes the interface see thru (Image 3) since the toolbar doesn’t look so hot there is another plug-in I want to introduce to you.

Its called Hide Menubar and makes the top look nice and clean(Image 4), if you do need the menubar you just press ALT and off you go!

I have been searching for a software with which I can do screencasts for my company’s website. I found Camtasia and thought, YES I finally found software that is easy to use and gives me all the functions I need. After making one video I noticed, that sadly Camtasia did not offer all the things I really needed like a professional sound editor. I then went on the long journey to discover that there were no real competitors for Windows based screencasting,which is sad because in my opinion TechSmith did not do the best possible job. Since I found not a lot of information from others about alternatives I am writing this entry.

I am using a combination of 3 different programs: CamStudio for recording the screen, Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0 for editing the video, adding subtitle and pan’n'zoom and for the sound I use Audacity. Of course it doesn’t work like an all in one “Standalone” application but it does a great job for me. You might ask is the combination of them all better than TechSmith’s Camtasia? In my opinion, yes because I have all the features I need and many more, which I may find useful in the future. Read more
