Who ever imagined that I would marry today. Life is unpredictable. Exactly today one year ago, I had my first kiss from my wife when I was Paris. The wedding was amazing and much better than I imagined. We were surprised at a white Rolls Royce, which brought us to the wedding hall, where all our friends and family were waiting for us.

Thank you for coming to the wedding and now enjoy the pictures on the wedding page. In two weeks we go for 3 weeks to Japan, be patient for the pictures of the Japanese wedding.

My darling: I love you more than anything else!!!

For a few weeks, I’m working with Microsoft’s Outlook in the office. It’s not the best E-Mail client, but at least it’s synchronizing with my mobile. The only thing I didn’t like was the attachments in every mail. In fact it is the picture of our company signature in Lotus Notes. For your information, Lotus Notes is not a real E-Mail Program, it’s more usable as a work-delay utility.

I’ve found on the way through the world wide web the tool from http://www.kopf.com.br/outlook/. Even if it’s beta version, it’s working perfectly for me. All the other tools, you have to pay for.

bbPress is not as good as I thought. It’s small, fast but if you once have problems, forget it. I tried to move it from a to b, but the code is so unlogical, I gave up. Also phpBB is too complicated for me.

Let’s talk today about punBB. I spent many hours in searching a good and easy PHP forum and finally I’ve found this.

I also had to create a Support Forum for my company. Finally I’ve found a good and easy PHP tool. It’s called SMF (Simple Machines Forum). The name sounds very stupid and I was little bit shocked about this un-cool name, but I gave it a try and it’s really amazing. I took the SMF v1.1.8 with the mod (modification) Topic Solved. I’ve never seen such a easy installation of a modification/plugin. It’s easy to configure and to use. The user can accept or refuse an answer and the whole post get green or red. The thread icon change automatically in a hand with thumb up or down. Cool!

Also for the company’s website, the demand was to have a simple list of bugs, with a search and filter option. I’ve tried some things with Excel as an export in HTML, but the bad point was, that it’s not possible to edit it online. That’s why I started to search in the World Wide Web.

The perfect solution for me, is the tool phpMyEdit, a MySQL table and PHP. First, it’s not easy to do it. First create a new table in your MySQL database. Create therein the fields you need for your table. Because you wouldn’t like to edit it with SQL commands, use the great app http://www.phpmyedit.org/.

phpMyEdit generates PHP code for displaying/editing MySQL tables in HTML. All you need to do is to write a simple calling program (a utility to do this is included). It includes a huge set of table manipulation functions (record addition, change, view, copy, and removal), table sorting, filtering, table lookups, and more.

In my case, I’ve created a php file with just read permission for the normal users and a php file with admin permission for me. Absolutely cool!

I created for the website of my company a web page which is looking like a ftp, but more comfortable. I’ve even included it within the wordpress site. Sorry to not be able to show it you, because it’s in the company’s network, but imagine a wordpress homepage and when you click on “Documents” on the left side, it will open in the central frame the content of a Web-Ftp, you can browse in folders and when you click on a file, it will open it, or you can force them to download it by clicking on the document.

Please have a look at this great PHP file: http://autoindex.sourceforge.net/

AutoIndex is a PHP script that makes a table that lists the files in a directory, and lets users access the files and subdirectories. It includes searching, icons for each file type, an admin panel, uploads, access logging, file descriptions, and more.
