There’s no more standalone_style.css in the most recent version of Gallery v1, as the names of the CSS stylesheets were changed, unnecessarily breaking existing systems in productive use. A good example of bad release engineering (note that Gallery v1 is supposed to be a stable version).
SugarCRM – an open source CRM suite
I’ve just installed it on this server. The installation procedure is very admin-friendly: 1.) Create a db 2.) Create a db user 3.) Point the browser to the SugarCRM directory. And it’s amazing how many features SugarCRM offers – probably enough for most SMEs.
Cool XML, XSLT, XPath, DTD, namespaces tutorials
ZVON.org hosts some very useful XML-related tutorials, among others:
XML Tutorial
Namespaces Tutorial
DTD Tutorial
XSLT Tutorial
XPath Tutorial
These are great tutorials if you like as-concise-as-possible, example-driven learning approaches (rather than reading dry and highly formal specifications) and need to quickly refresh your know-how about XML-related standards.
September 14, StartupDay – Tag des Jungunternehmens
START Up Day – Tag des Jungunternehmens
I probably won’t be able to attend the START up day festivities in Zurich that early in the evening. Nonetheless it’s cool and important that there is a day such as the StartUp day :)
Kami.ch, a nice t-shirt printing service in the Greater Zurich area
For the past X’05 Swiss marketing expo, I wanted to print some guerilla marketing promo t-shirts for us. First, I tried McShirt.ch in the Niederdorf in Zurich. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to import my professional-grade vector graphics file (in Adobe Illustrator format) into their plotting application. I had my TabletPC with me and even simplified my design and converted it to other well-known and standardized file formats (PDF, PostScript, SVG) in order to make it easier for them (Note that I spent more than an hour in their shop waiting for them to succeed). However, they just didn’t manage it – and that’s what I call an unprofessional service, despite of kind personnel. A bummer.
So I looked for an alternative – and surprisingly I found an excellent one! :) The very recommendable t-shirt printing company is named Kami Textildruck and is located a bit outside of Zurich, in Wallisellen. They were very professional right from the beginning, with kind and correct information given on the phone and by e-mail. They had no problem at all with my graphics file and they produced our custom t-shirts within only 1.5 days (half of the time it would have taken at McShirt) for just a slightly higher price. Further, Kami uses professional printing technology which results in a much better and more durable print than that of McShirt.
Hence my predicate for Kami: highly recommended! Thanks, Kami team!
