What is your favorite Free or Open-Source UML Plug-in? Every year I try some of them and remove them after few hours. As I remember, they were resource-hungry or just bad in reverse engineering Some weeks ago i tried ObjectAid UML Explorer Class Diagram and liked it. It could quickly and easily create simple class Diagrams - just by Drag & Drop. And I had no problems with static constructors or inner classes and other stuff in the code which causes problems to other Plug-ins....

I noticed that my last post was a 101 post on this blog which is a good occasion to do some self-evaluation. I started to write here in January 2007 it’s nearly 4 years ago. You see I’m not a very productive blogger. Nevertheless, I wrote some interesting things which have attracted some people or comments. I’ve learned pretty much and I tried different themes. I think in the future I will write more and more technical stuff....

Yesterday i’v installed Ubuntu (10) Linux alongside of Windows XP (SP3) on my Lenovo Thinkpad T60 (meanwhile 4 years old) Laptop. Let me stay short by observation of only a start-time of both system on the same machine in this post. Here some hardware details: Intel Core Duo (T2400 -1,83 Mghz) 1 Gb RAM 60 GB 5400rpm hard drive An here are start times on two Systems (in seconds): As we see Windows takes 1 minute from OS-Selection dialog till User-login dialog, whereas Ubuntu takes only 24 sec....

Especially in Magento ;) Many people do official Magento upgrades on productive environments and suffer from it. You don’t need to do so, use always test environment first! So the copy process of Magento shop has following main steps...

My google page-rank is back today. Some days ago I moved that blog to the new domain (alexander.holbreich.org). I’ve placed a .htaccess redirect Rewrite Rule ^(.*)$ http://alexander.holbreich.org/$1 [R=301,L] to the old domain to preserve some humble SEO result of this page. But for some weeks new Blog had no page-rank. Now he is here and the effect of Permanent redirect on google is proved!

Folder Monitr allows automatically upload of Pictures to the Flickr. This tool is very useful to me because it can work automatically in the background and therefore reduce one manual step in my picture processing. So basically i can now use only Lightroom end export my developed pictures to the “watched” folder and they will automatically upload to flickr in the background. All tags are taken and even Set can be specified by subfoldering, which is also cool....

Hello friends, I’m pleasure to report progress in development of wPopularity plug-in. Yesterday I took some time just for me and wPopularity.

But i’m still not at the and. The next released version is at least 1.0.0. I do not plan to test it on Wordpress version below 2....

At first, it is a quite bad feeling. All pages of holbreich.de1 flow out of google index :(. According to Murphy’s Law that happened when I was at some seminar and therefore had not time for my personal page. Google is kindly enough and tries to contact you in such case, when they about to throw your site out of the index because your site is malware infected. In such one unlucky case you get the Malware Notification....
