UserCake User Management System

If you need a simple user management system in php go with UserCake.
Don’t confuse it with CakePHP, it has nothing to do with it.
I’ve used UserCake on a project, and it was very nice to use, so I recommend it.
And the best thing is that it is open source.

Steps I do to create a website for myself without a CMS.

1. Brainstorming
The first thing I do is a brainstorming session.
I think of the features the website will have, write them down. Then I ask friends, they could have good ideas too.

2. Sketching
I get a piece of an A4 paper, a pencil, and begin to sketch the layout for the website.
Sometimes I use a graphic tablet to do the sketch on photoshop, but I really prefer paper and pencil.

3. Photoshoping
From the ugly, curvy lines paper sketch, I transform it into a clean image using photoshop.
Applying colors. Colors are not used at a random order. I’ll use a color wheel, and with the wheels rules I stick to a color pattern.

4. Slicing (or not)
With photoshop I slice the image to fit my needs. I try to slice as few images as possible.
To say the truth, slicing looks outdated to me.

5. CSS/XHTML
I do a paralel work on an external css file, and the main index file. I create the layout which looks like the image in photoshop.

6. Lorem ipsum
I add lorem ipsum text to the content area.

8. Fix details
A little padding here, a little padding there, the link color is not right. Those kind of things I do at the end until I’m really satisfied.

Kinsey (2004)

This movie builds on the life of Alfred Kinsey (1894 – 1956), a biologist and sex researcher, also known as the father of the modern sexual revolution. He studies the sexual behaviour of American people in 1948 and 1953 and releases reports.
His researches include sex histories of over 18.000 people.
Alfred became famous because at this time sex talk was a taboo, so people had a little knowledge about sex. The little knowledge made people feeling guilty and worried.
He gave sex advice to many people.

It is not a big surprise that with over 400 milion active users, facebook has made it to pagerank 10.

Google = Pagerank 10
Facebook = Pagerank 10
Yahoo = Pagerank 9
Youtube = Pagerank 9

The Like Button Revolution

The simple cute little button has made it through many websites and today I put it in my blog.
I was so amazed about the Like button being almost everywhere on the net.
It’s very simple, you just click the Like button and practically you are sharing on Facebook.com the link of the website the Like button is in.
That’s all about it, just as this simple.
Another thing I noticed was that there are 3 color schemes that you can choose for the button: light, dark, and evil. Evil??? What is that is that?
It looks like the same as light. What evil things has facebook in mind?

Google changed layout

I noticed yesterday that google has changed his layout.
I don’t like it! I don’t like the homepage, neither do I like the search results.
In the search results it now displays a left column with additional options, so I think google has lost it’s simplicity.

Bayern Munich Hymn

Willy Astor “Stern des Suedens”

Welche Münchner Fußballmannschaft kennt man auf der ganzen Welt?
Wie heißt dieser Klub, der hierzulande die Rekorde hählt?
Wer hat schon gewonnen, was es jemals zu gewinnen gab?
Wer bringt seit Jahrzenten unsre Bundesliga voll auf Trap?

Refrain: FC Bayern, Stern des Südens, du wirst niemals untergehn, weil wir in guten wie in schlechten Zeiten zu einander stehen.
FC Bayern, Deutscher Meister, ja so heißt er, mein Verein,ja so war es und so ist es und so wird es immer sein

Wo wird klar schon angegriffen, wo wird täglich spioniert?
Wo ist die Presse, wo ist Rummel, wo wird immer diskutiert?
Wer spiel in jedem Stadion vor ausverkauftem Haus?
Wer hält den Druck der Gegner aus?

Refrain

Ob Bundesliga im Pokal oder Champions League
ja gibt es denn was Schöneres als einen Bayern Sieg?
Hier ist Leben, hier ist Liebe, hier ist Feuer und drum bleibt München Deutschlands bester bis in alle Ewigkeit!

Refrain
