T3DD09 Survey is eventually online

thomas@typo3-unleashed.net — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:27:00 +0200

I have to admit that it took a while this year to bring the survey online. Just too much other things came across and so we needed some weeks. But now it's done and all attendees can now tell us their opinion on the TYPO3 Developer Days 2009.

Answering all questions will take 5 to 10 minutes and I think it's worth it because it helps us to make it even better next year! You can find the survey here: http://t3dd09.typo3.org/survey0.html

Best wishes,
Thomas

How to change shortcut for templates in Eclipse

thomas@typo3-unleashed.net — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:23:00 +0200

Today I had the plan to start using code templates in Eclipse. Yeah I know that might be a little late but that better than never. Anyway... I use Quicksilver on my Systems which is a really nice all purpose quick launch application. I bound that application to the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl]+[Space]. Unfortunately Eclipse is using exactly this shortcut for templates.

Well, most people would think "No problem change the shortcut". Yeah, nice idea but it took me some time to figure out which shortcut I have to change. To save you some minutes here is the answer. The shortcut you have to change is called "Content Assist" and not "Template" as you might think. ^^

It happend again. As you might noticed, the server was unavailable again this morning. To be honest we don't know what the problem is but we investigating this right now.

The data will be transfered to another machine today, so it will be offline for a few minutes today. I hope we can solve the problems asap.

Last weekend this page was offline. I want to apologize for that! The server had a kernel panic and I recognized that too late. I hope that it won't happen again. :-)

TYPO3 API question

thomas@typo3-unleashed.net — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 12:17:00 +0200

You know that I generate the TYPO3 API documentation from the core sources. The core contains some 3rd party libraries like the very large ADODB. My question is if I should keep them in the API documentation in order to cover the complete core code or do you think it would be okay to strip that out before generating the documentation.

I'm not sure about this and I would like to hear your opinion.

[T3DD09] Countdown ticks down

thomas@typo3-unleashed.net — Mon, 11 May 2009 08:44:00 +0200

The TYPO3 Developer Days 2009 will start in a few hours. Actually we have to wait 3 more days. Unfortunately the weather god seems to be not very graceful with us. The weather forecast says, that we have sunny weather until wednesday... From thursday till sunday we have a chance for rain of above 80%. :-/

I really hope that the weather frogs are wrong on this one. And if they are, I'm pretty sure it will a great event anyway.

[T3CON09TX] After the first night

thomas@typo3-unleashed.net — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:46:00 +0200

So, today is my first full day in the US at the T3CON09-Dallas. I arrived yesterday at around 2pm local time which is 9pm german time. I was pretty tired and after a small (unwanted) trip on the freeways here I eventually arrived at my hotel. It's ok for the four days I would say.

A group of around 25 people drove to a really nice restaurant in the evening. They only serve two different things. Chicken and chicken-fried steak. I had the steak and it was really nice. Now I know why the americans get so fat. This is no offense, a local told me so! ;-)

After the dinner we drove back to the hotel and after around 40 hours staying awake I fell to sleep very fast. I hoped to get some hours of sleep but unfortunately I woke up at 3am and surfed the wonder world of US TV.

After breakfast we drove to the conference center and I have to say, that this really impressive. It's so huge and has a stable free WiFi. :-)

Today we have some tutorials going on and I'm going to list to "MVC for TYPO3 with Extbase" now.

There are already some photos available. Karsten has uploaded many pictures to flickr already. Just search for "T3CON09TX" to find them or follow this link. Mine will follow soon. I have to take them actually. :-)

[T3CON09-US] Last night at home

thomas@typo3-unleashed.net — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 02:47:00 +0200

It's now 2:48am local time. Local means GMT+1. It's my last night before my plane to Dallas takes off. It was a terrible night so far. My plan was to stay awake as long as possible so I can sleep in the plane. Well, this plan might work out perfectly because by the end of the night I will have slept around 1 hour. ;-)

Anyway, I'll try to report from Dallas about the conference and the things that happen around it. You might be interested in following my Twitter acccount thomas_typo3 for "just-in-time-information-disclosures". ;-)
