1. Impressions about Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium

    Last Saturday I finally got my copy of the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium from eBay. This software is costly, so I looked for a good opportunity to acquire it. My edition includes Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, Acrobat Professional, Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and something else that I never heard of before. I mostly need Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash, the rest is not very relevant to me.

    First impressions are good. I never was a fan of Adobe products but CS3 is suprisingly good. For example, Photoshop Extended open faster than...

  2. Converting Photoshop Elements to full Photoshop (almost)

    Adobe Photoshop is a de facto standard for graphical processing. If you work with web site or any other graphical design. Photoshop is usually a must.

    However not everyone can afford it. Adobe charges a lot for its products. Fortunately with Photoshop there is a much cheaper replacement: Adobe Photoshop Elements. It costs nearly $70 instead of $645 for the full Photoshop. Photoshop Elements is intended mainly for Photographers and amateur designers. It lacks many advanced powerful features of its full brother, such as layer sets, curves,...

  3. Skype CPU usage

    A small interesting fact: one animated image in the Skype chat window (the one with tongue out) raises Skype CPU usage from 5.5 to 11% (double!).

    Nothing to do about it, just an interesting fact

  5. Stolen content

    Update: the stolen content is now removed from the offending site.

    I was notified that a seo24.at web site republished my article about TYPO3 performance optimization as their own thus violating my copyright. Here is their copy and here is the original. Pity to see that there are still people like this one. The could have asked and got permission immediately. Now I have to ban them from republishing anything from this site... I like to share and promote the knowledge but I hate content stealing in any form.

  6. When TYPO3 gurus cannot help you

    I am working with TYPO3 since year 2003. I worked for several agencies and individuals during this time. I am one of the best TYPO3 experts. This is what people say about me, not what I say about myself (I never really wanted to become a TYPO3 expert, it just happened).

    I learned a lot of things while working for many people using TYPO3. Among others, there is one most important learned thing: most people think they know the right solution and they only ask TYPO3 experts (like me) to implement that solution. Typically they say: "We want...

  7. Does gzip compression speed up or slow down your web site?

    Gzip is a good way to make your web site faster. It may decrease the size of downlodable documents by half. This seriously speeds up the loading of the site because network delays affects the performance (and user satisfaction) most.

    But there is a drawback of the gzip compression that many people do not realize.

    In the early Apache 1.x days mod_gzip had a very nice feature: file cache for the compressed content. mod_deflate in Apache 2 does not have any caching for the compressed content. It means that downloading 500KB of ExtJS with...
