Nachmieter gesucht für 3-Zimmer-Wohnung in der Gryphiusstr. 1, Hamburg Winterhude (Update: Wohnung vergeben)

Wie eben schon getwittert suchen wir für unsere 3-Zimmer-Wohnung in Hamburg Winterhude zum 1. April einen Nachmieter. Super Lage in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße (Gryphiusstr. 1) direkt an der U3 Sierichstraße, 4. OG mit Aufzug und courtagefrei. Für Hamburg ziemlich einmalig...

Alle weiteren Infos hier: http://bit.ly/wohnung-winterhude. Bei Interesse bitte gerne melden.



Update 1: Die Wohnung ist immer noch zu haben, siehe auch das Listing Courtagefreie 3.5 Zimmer DG-Wohnung (4.OG, Aufzug) auf ImmobilienScout24.

Update 2: Die Wohnung ist seit dem 7. Februar vergeben.

iPhone 3.1.2 Update Hints and Reminders

I have taken the small, but still important step from iPhone 3.1 to iPhone 3.1.2 (mostly important because of the fix of the coma mode bug, iPhone OS 3.1.2 Changelog). My previous manual tweaks after a firmware update list has saved me a great amount of time for this task.

I decided to buy PkgBackup, and it saved most of my Cydia packages, however, I lost some files, mainly because I did not pay enough attention. Thus adding to the list two stupid reminders:

Things to keep in mind

• Backup Cycorder videos
  

  /var/mobile/Media/Videos

• Backup MxTube videos
  

  /var/mobile/Media/MxTube

Additional manual tweaks

• Delete annoying UI sound files:
  • Camera shutter sound

    /System/Library/Audio/UISounds/photoShutter.caf

  • Keyboard click sound (because Cydia keyboard still clicks even if clicks are disabled)

    /System/Library/Audio/UISounds/Tock.caf

  • Charging sound / plug-in sound

    /System/Library/Audio/UISounds/beep-beep.caf

• Enable EDGE / APN Settings (just because it's possible): http://www.simonblog.com/2009/09/07/how-to-enable-edgeapn-editing-on-jailbroken-iphone/
• Enable iPhone 3G Tethering (obviously do this at your own risk): http://thebeatmix.blogspot.com/2009/10/enable-tethering-on-iphone-312-only-3g.html

What are your iPhone update stories? Did I miss something?

Update 1

The missing carrier logo bug can be fixed by accessing

/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundle.bundle ## symbolic link

Then edit

carrier.plist

Search for

<key>StatusBarImages</key>

<array>

  <dict>

    <key>AllowPrefixMatching</key>

    <true/>

    <key>CarrierName</key>

    <string>T-Mobile</string>

    [...]

</array>

and delete the plaintext carrier name (in my example "T-Mobile"). You should end up with

    <key>CarrierName</key>

    <string></string>

AdWords API PHP Client Library is the new APIlity

Dear APIlity users,

It has been a long time since my last message to the APIlity forum. Actually, the last message dates back to May 8, 2009. Since then a lot has happened. The last public APIlity release was v1.13.1. In June I was in New York City, working on getting APIlity ready for the AdWords API v2009 release. Back then, v200902 was released, while internally we were working with v200906, which was in the early stage of development.

If you are in the PHP framework business, or worse, in the PHP framework business and dealing with SOAP Web services, you have probably gone through the same trouble as we did with APIlity: there is (mainly PHP4's) NuSOAP, there is PHP5's native SOAP extension, and there is the strong feeling that you should definitely get off that PHP4 train, but some important stakeholder is still on it. Basically the AdWords API v2009 beta release being a complete rewrite of the AdWords API from scratch with awesome new features, we decided to do the same for APIlity. This is actually good news: no more PHP4, no more NuSOAP, but a lot more object-orientation, and definitely more feature parity with the other client libraries. We are thus starting the deprecation clock for APIlity in its current form (i.e. v1.13.1). Because of the hard cut and the underlying SOAP toolkit change (NuSOAP replaced by native SOAP extension), the first release of the new PHP client library (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php) just ships with the true v2009 core features, and does not include the old v13 features as the other client libraries do. What this means in practice is that you should use the PHP client library for your AdWords core tasks, and use APIlity v1.13.1 for the tasks not yet included in v2009. There will not be added new features to APIlity, but we will still provide bug fixes. In the end when v13 of the AdWords API itself will be sunset, APIlity v13 will follow.

While the name APIlity is a great wordplay (at least in my opinion) on API and the ability to do things with the AdWords API, it never was a great name from a readability point of view, basically because most default Web fonts shot the serif, so the uppercase 'I' of the "API" part and the lowercase 'l' of the "lity" part were hard to differentiate. In consequence for the rewritten library we simply go for the generic name PHP client library, just as there is the Java client library, or the Python client library. You got the naming scheme...

In addition to that, the former APIlity forum will be deprecated somewhere around November 1 and set to Archive Mode, where old messages will be preserved, but new messages will be rejected and should instead be posted to the main AdWords API forum. This will improve overall turnaround time for getting your questions answered and will give you access to even more AdWords API developers.

Finally I would like to express my gratitude to all those of you who have contributed to the library in the past. Be it by sending in bug reports, bug fixes, or even completely new functions. I have maintained a naive and very direct form of the benevolent dictator maintenance model, where people would contact me directly (mailto:tomac AT google DOT com) and I would then decide whether or not to include a patch, or decide for one alternative or the other if more than one were given. The new PHP client library will be hosted on code.google.com, where excellent issue tracking, an uncomplicated release mechanism, and version control are available, so these features will be used. Hoping for you contributors to keep up your excellent support even if ownership of the library has changed. Last not least I will be the heaviest Google-internal user of the PHP client library, so be assured that I will be somewhere buzzing around still, and, yes, of course I am a committer to the project.

Thank you,
Tom

Still loving Google

Sometimes it's the small things that let you feel the difference. In cooking it's just this little bit of thyme that makes a piece of meat a real steak, in technology it's easter eggs. Search Google for recursion, and Google will ask you if you rather meant recursion. Search Google for ASCII art, then this is what you get for the Google logo:

  ___                _
 / __|___  ___  __ _| |___ 
| (_ / _ \/ _ \/ _` |   -_)
 \___\___/\___/\__, |_\___|
               |___/

Feed URL has changed

My ATOM feed URL has changed. It is way shorter now, the dynamic parameters have been removed, and now I use the feed as a Sitemap as well. Using RSS or ATOM feeds as Sitemap is a not so well known chapter of the Sitemap story. I will leave the old URL active for a while, but you are highly recommended to update your feed reader to include the new URL http://blog.tomayac.de/atom.php. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.

At some point I want to restructure the whole blog as well, starting with the feed URL is a first step. Looking forward to the next one. Sometime. I was a little naive back in 2005 when I wrote one of my first blog entries, but my thoughts from then on blog content ownership are still true. Hey, and it's totally fun writing your own blog engine, too.
