I am 36 now.

Komodo IDE is one of my favorite PHP IDEs for the TYPO3 extension development. In fact, if Komodo they had the following two features, they would be my favorite:

Ctrl+click should open the method or variable declarationvariable and method hinting while I type (I type t3lib_div:: and the IDE pops up a function selector list)

The second feature exists but it is not fully working. Sometimes it misses to determine the right context. But if it works, it works faster than the same feature in Zend Studio.

Today I got an automatic e-mail saying...

Starting from today I am a full time freelancer. My employment with Netcreators finished last week. I worked for them 15 months and now I am free again.

Freelancing will give me more time to do what I like to do. In particular I will focus on TYPO3 services that I know best, do best and want to provide to other people and companies. Also I plan to (self–)study various disciplines. I will manage my time on my own and report to myself. It is an incredible feeling when a man can choose what to do.

This blog remains one of my priorities too. I...

I know that many people read this blog using a feed reader. But I have no idea how many read it and what format people prefer: ATOM or RSS.

Now I changed my feeds to stream through the FeedBurner. FeedBurner will give me some statistics about my subscribers.

If you read this blog using a feed reader, could you do me a little favor? Please, unsubscribe and re–subscribe to my feed through the FeedBurner. Here is RSS and ATOM links. This is all I ask. If you prefer to use direct subscription, it is still there, of course.

I am testing a new extension on this site. It allows to convert text smileys to graphical. You enter a textual smiley in the RTE or user enters such smiley in comment. The extension automatically creates a graphical smiley in Frontend.

Check inside for current smiley set.

No one knows exactly how Google ranking features work. Google keeps it hidden for obvious reasons: Google wants to maintain better search relevancy and prevent optimizers from moving sites to a higher position in search results.

Several months ago I redesigned several of our sites. Yesterday I checked and found that these sites are on the top position in Google for some popular search terms. I did not expect that really. The content there is good and it is not changed much. However after the redesign site has moved up.

I think the reason is...

As you see site design has changed dramatically as well as site name. This is because my interests has grown and I feel that I should post on more topics than just TYPO3. My interests also include HCI, security, spam fighting, increasing productivity, etc. I want this site to become a more generic resource about improvement in these areas.

Of course, TYPO3 will not be forgotten. I still work with TYPO3 and majority of articles on this site is and will be about TYPO3. At least it is true for the nearest future.

I had certain problems...
