Logo Panne
September 3rd, 2010
Ich lese gerade einen Artikel in der Frankfurter Rundschau über die Tatsache, dass der hessische Energieversorger HSE ein neues Logo bekommen hat, das es schon gab. Auch der Slogan „Das Ganze sehen“ war bereits vergeben. Interessant, dass es auch einer so renommierten Agentur wie Jung von Matt passieren kann, eben nicht „Das Ganze“ zu sehen…
Double Feature: What I love about Weebly – What I hate about Weebly
July 14th, 2010
When I confronted my course Presenting Content this semester with the basics of HTML and CSS, they and I had a couple of frustrating sessions. I’m doing this for some semesters now and never had quite such an experience. I was thinking: Am I this bad a teacher to not get the stuff across (it’s not that hard, after all) or did I hint at Weebly.com too early and most of the classes just switched off as early as this?
T-Shirt Shop
June 8th, 2010
Do you still need a t-shirt for the summer? Did you see the new item in the main menu up above? Yes, indeed, I finally did it. I created my own Spreadshirt shop and although there is are only one two designs available so far (two some more will follow) you might be interested in having a look.

Zuse 2.0 Kongress
May 27th, 2010
Ein erfolgreicher Kongress hat gestern in Wiesbaden stattgefunden. Zwar war die allgemeine Berichterstattung eher auf Volker Bouffier ausgerichtet (interessanterweise nicht so sehr auf Roland Koch, der auch da war…), aber wir haben viele interessante Gespräche geführt und spannende Vorträge gehört.
Styling the VCT’s Microprojects Feed Box
April 3rd, 2010
Welcome to the first episode of a series of HTML/CSS tutorials that deal with the application of CSS techniques in a real life setting. The series is supposed to be used in an upcoming course at the University of Marburg, students will be able to try to figure out how to do this.
And this is what we are going to do in this episode: The Virtual Center for Teacher Training has introduced a so called Microprojects Feed, which in return got a box on its own on the left of the portal. We will design this box.
Personas and Usability
March 19th, 2010
If you are a Firefox user, or more so, a Firefox aficionado like I am, using Firefox since it’s first betas, you might have realized the interesting new Personas addon, which gives you thousands of different skins for your browser windows.
Why is it, I ask myself, that almost all of them are designed in such a way that it is almost impossible to read the toolbar?
VZL Shop, Globalzugang und Mikroprojekte
March 12th, 2010
Das VZL hat in dieser Woche ein paar Neuerungen erhalten, an denen wir in den letzten Wochen fieberhaft gearbeitet haben (wäre schneller gegangen, wenn immer alles gleich geklappt hätte).
- Der VZL Shop auf Prestashop-Basis bietet die Möglichkeit Arbeitsheft zu den Weiterbildungskursen zu bestellen und außerdem den Globalzugang (s.u.) zu buchen.
- Der Globalzugang bietet Zugang zu allen Virtuellen Sitzungen, aus denen die Kurse de VZL bestehen. Diese Option gibt es für hessische Lehrerinnen und Lehrer schon länger und ist jetzt für alle verfügbar.
- Und außerdem gibt es noch die sogenannten Mikroprojekte als RSS-Feed, kleinere Unterrichtsideen, die die Neuen Medien benutzen, natürlich gleich mit Beispielen.
Padding is a Strange Creature
February 25th, 2010
While redesigning my pages, I came across an odd behaviour when trying to manage a white box and the padding within it. This tells you a lot about browser defaults and how they can be a pain.
