Tutorials, currently about PHP-Gtk and optimization of Windows 98 SE (both in german / beide in deutsch), a page containing some of my findings while struggling with Linux and a step-by-step HOWTO on creating a customized Debian 3.0 ("Woody") Boot CD (both in english).

Grevenbroicher SPD: Firefox User müssen leider draussen bleiben!
Vielleicht mache ich was falsch, aber ich komme mit Firefox nicht auf Die Webseite der Grevenbroicher SPD. Schade eigentlich. Aber dafür sieht Karl Kress (CDU) auf seiner Homepage sehr lustig aus, jedenfalls für Firefox User.

Wo ich gerade so lustig dabei bin, diese Seiten abzugrasen, hier mal meine völlig unqualifizierte Meinung zu einigen Punkten:
- Karl Kress stellt z.B. eine kleine Anfrage (PDF) an den Landtag NRW, in der er anfragt, wie es denn zu vermitteln sei, dass er angesichts knapper Landeskassen insgesamt 10 Publikationen zum Thema "Gleichgeschlechtliche Lebensformen" erhalten hat. Lass' ich mal unkommentiert.
- Mh, zu Herrn Feuster finde ich jetzt nix. Ich stelle beiden mal ein paar Fragen per Mail.

I started translating the PHP-GTK Documentation into german.
Falls du, ja, genau, du, deutsch sprichst, was mit PHP am Hut hast und ausserdem noch Zeit zuviel, dann wäre es eine grosse Hilfe wenn du über die eine oder andere der übersetzten Dateien drüberschauen und mir Fehlermeldungen und/oder Kommentare per eMail senden würdest. Meine Übersetzungen findest du hier: http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/php-gtk-doc/de.

Wer zu dem Thema interessante Infos hat, kann ja mal einen Blick auf die Seite werfen und im Forum oder per Mail was dazu sagen.

From now on, the US Government will only buy computer hard- and software that can also be used by disabled people, and they will design their websites so disabled people can access them, following the recommendations of the WAI. This is a big step towards a really userfriendly Internet for everybody.
