			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heute bin ich auf der <a href="http://dnadigital.de/">DNAdigital</a> <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space">Open Space</a> Vorbereitungs-Veranstaltung.</p>

<p>Sinn dieser Veranstaltung ist die Vorbereitung auf den Open Space am 03.11.2008, wo die &#8220;Digital Natives&#8221; mit &#8220;Entscheidern&#8221; aus der Wirtschaft zusammen geführt werden sollen.</p>

<p>Zweck ist die Erörterung von Themen, die für Digital Natives natürlich wirken, aber noch nicht einen wirklichen Einzug in den Mainstream gefunden haben.</p>

<p>Gleichzeitig können die Entscheider ein Bewusstsein bei den DN schaffen, was für Beschränkungen aber auch Möglichkeiten für Firmen existieren, um diese Zielgruppe ansprechen zu können.</p>

<p>Die Bedürfnisse und Strategien von Firmen unterscheiden sich von denen der Digital Natives, da die Firmenkompetenz sich im Allgemeinen am Mainstream orientiert.</p>

<p>Ein Kennenlernen der Denk- und Arbeitsweise von Digital Natives kann einen Paradigmen-Wechsel in Firmen herbei führen, da die späteren &#8220;Arbeitnehmer&#8221; Digital Natives sein werden, die ein gänzlich anderes Online-Nutzungsprofil haben, als ältere Generationen oder andere Zielgruppen.</p>

<p>Insgesamt habe die Veranstaltung und die Diskussionen als sehr fruchtbar empfunden, damit die Bewusstseinslücke zwischen Entscheidern und Digital Natives verkleinert werden kann.</p>

<p>Die Ergebnisse dieses Tages stehen im Wiki der Homepage, während die Diskussion live gestreamt werden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Auch bei den iPhone-Tarifen können Tarifoption geschaltet werden, die durchaus Sinn machen.</p>

<p>Ich benutze nach dem erneuten Defekt des mit Abstand besten mir bekannten DECT-Funktelefons (gleicher Fehler bei neuem Telefon – Serienfehler?) kein Festnetz-Telefon zu Hause mehr. Daher nutzen mir die Inklusiv-Minuten bei den iPhone-Verträgen nur bedingt etwas, da ich doch mal das eine oder andere entspannte 1h+ Gespräch von zu Hause aus führe.</p>

<p>Allerdings kannst Du auf den iPhone-Tarif auch T-Mobile@home aufschalten. Diese Homezone-Tarifoption kostet 5 € / Monat und reduziert die Gesprächsgebühren ins Festnetz auf 4 ct / Minute innerhalb der homezone. Das gute daran ist, dass bei einem Minutenpaket die @home-Minuten extra zählen.</p>

<p>Für mich genau das Richtige.</p>

<h4>Nachtrag</h4>

<p>David hat <a href="http://www.beatbyter.de/2008/04/09/kostenfalle-iphone-mit-t-mobilehome-option/">geschrieben</a>, dass die Homezone unter Umständen einen finanziellen Haken hat. Dadurch, dass die Inklusiv-Minuten in der Homezone nicht verbraucht werden, könnten am Ende des Monats die Inklusiv-Minuten bei entsprechendem Gesprächsverhalten noch in Mengen vorhanden sind, obwohl diese doch prima in der Homezone hätten abtelefoniert werden können.</p>

<p>Die Lösung ist auch in der Homezone Gesprächspartner auf dem Handy anzurufen.</p>

<p>Verbauchte Inklusiv-Minuten können auf der Internetseite unter ‘Mein T-Mobile’ in der Rubrik ‘Kostenkontrolle’ eingesehen werden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Letzten Herbst wollte ich mir ein iPhone zulegen, hatte aber ein Problem, welches <a href="http://manuel.funkensturm.de/2008/07/03/o2-will-mir-das-iphone-verbieten/trackback/">Manuel</a> auch gerade nervt: ein alter noch laufender Vertrag und eine Mobilnummer, die meiner Meinung nach mit Gold nicht aufzuwiegen ist: eine identische Festnetz und Mobilnummer mit einfach wunderbarer Telefon-Nummer. Also, was nun?</p>

<p>Das Wesentliche: Du kannst Deine alte Nummer <b>später</b> übernehmen. Voraussetzung: Du bekommst eine 7-stellige Nummer und die ersten zwei Stellen der neuen entsprechen denen Deiner alten. Analog dazu 8-stellig mit den ersten dreien.</p>

<p>Das ganze nennt sich HLR – Home Location Register – und ist eine Kopplung von Teilnehmer zu HLR. Eine Art &#8220;Einwohnermeldeamt&#8221; für Handys im jeweiligen Netz. Die ersten Stellen sind fix. Bis auf e-plus verwenden sie alle Mobilfunkprovider in Deutschland.</p>

<h4>Rufnummer wechseln</h4>

<ul>
    <li>Hotline unter 2202 anrufen. Diese Nummer steht übrigens in dem kleinen Büchlein, welches sich im SIM-Karten-Umschlag &#8220;versteckt&#8221;</li>
    <li>Lieb und nett (je netter, desto mehr Vorschläge rücken die Hotline erfahrungsgemäß raus) fragen, welche Möglichkeiten es gibt</li>
    <li>Wenn die schönste Nummer gefunden und telefonisch bestellt wurde: auflegen und warten, bis die neue Nummer aktiv ist</li>
    <li>Freuen</li>
</ul>

<p>Nur durch einen SIM-Kartentausch kann das Problem der späten Rufnummern-Übernahme bei den Mobilfunkprovidern umgangen werden. Es wird die übernommene Rufnummer der neuen SIM-Karte zugeordnet. Das kostet in der Regel so 30 €, wobei manche Provider oder vielleicht auch nur deren falsch informiertes Servicepersonal herum zicken und nur die alte Nummer aufschalten wollen.</p>

<p>Voraussetzung ist natürlich, dass die alte Nummer beim neuen Provider auch wirklich frei ist. Wobei bei allen Dienstleistungen im Mobilfunkbereich eine Grauzone besteht, die es manchmal verunmöglicht, eigentlich vorhandene Leistungen in Anspruch zu nehmen. Manchmal sind dies Dienstleistungen, die Firmenkunden angeboten werden, obwohl diese letztendlich nicht immer höhere Umsätze bei den Providern generieren.</p>

<h4>Zwei Nummern auf einem Vertrag</h4>

<p>Alternativ können im Geschäftskundenbereich auch zwei Rufnummern auf den Vertrag und eine SIM geschaltet werden. Dann bekommst Du zwei Rechnungen jeweils einzeln ausgewiesenen Gesprächsgebühren und SMS etc.</p>

<p>Natürlich können die Rufnummern umgeschaltet werden. Entweder komfortabel bei neueren Handys über einen Menüpunkt oder langer Druck auf die Raute (&#8221;#&#8221;). Oder durch Eingabe einer zweiten PIN beim Einschalten bei älteren Handys. Früher hieß das bei T-Mobile &#8220;TwinBill&#8221;. Je nachdem, wie Du es einstellst, bist Du unter beiden oder nur der ersten Nummer erreichbar. Also z.B. privat immer und nach Umschalten auch geschäftlich. Allerdings könnte die Umschaltung bei iPhones Probleme bereiten, da ja langes Drücken beim Touchscreen nicht so toll funktioniert.</p>

<p>Allerdings gibt es nur eine Mailbox. Ist manchmal ein bisschen lästig, da die Ansage entsprechend passen sollte.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://next08.com">next08</a> conference has passed. For me it was a crowded day meeting much of my fellow friends at the conference having great conversations. Some sessions were also extremely inspiring, some were just ordinary. It&#8217;s always hard to achieve a balance for attendees with different backgrounds and interests.</p>

<p>As far as I know there are no video streams. Kinda disappointing. A couple of blog posts covering the sessions written by &#8220;live blogger&#8221; hired for this are on <a href="http://www.fischmarkt.de">fischmarkt</a>. Most are in german.</p>

<p>Many thanks to <a href="http://www.sinnerschrader.de">SinnerSchrader</a> for hosting the conference.</p>

<p>BTW, The event team was just fabulous. I <strong>never</strong> had service people at a conference doing such a great job. They were very forthcoming, always polite and professional.</p>

<p>And the party was a blast. Yeah!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the eve of the next08 conference Microsoft is holding an event called the Microsoft Blogger Connection Kickoff. This event takes place in the harbour of Hamburg on a stylish house boat. What a great way to appeal to the more grass routed internet movements.</p>

<p>Hosted by <a href="http://on10.net/blogs/lorigros/">Lori Grosland</a> and <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/steffenr/">Steffen Richter</a> of Microsoft an open discussion took place about why Microsoft doesn&#8217;t has fans but ordinary users and Apple a stronghold of passionate fans.</p>

<p>Being an avid Apple user I still enjoyed the meeting. At least some people at Microsoft are trying the get a feeling for a generation of internet consumers and producers who don&#8217;t belong to anything enterprisey.</p>

<p>Some speakers are high profile and a couple of founders are going to present and pitch their products and ideas.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s a one day conference with four parallel tracks like keynote &amp; speeches, discussions, presentations and start-ups. It&#8217;s about enterprise, marketing, mobile and media.</p>

<p>Now I <em>just</em> have to figure out what I&#8217;m going to listen to tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m cutting some slack and have reduced my main consulting work to 80%. That means one day off a week to get into some new technology. Staying on the edge requires some effort.</p>

<p>Fortunately on the same day I will regularily be at home there is the <a href="http://www.hamburg-startups.de/">OpenCoffee Club in Hamburg</a>, a weekly or bi-weekly gathering of developers and entrepreneurs from the Web 2.0 scene in Hamburg. It takes place at a local <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#038;hl=de&#038;geocode=&#038;q=Neuer+Jungfernstieg+5+hamburg&#038;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&#038;sspn=30.185946,61.611328&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;ll=53.556371,9.99125&#038;spn=0.011038,0.030084&#038;z=15">Starbucks near Binnenalster</a>. Although I prefer <a href="http://www.balzaccoffee.com/">Balzac Coffee</a> because of the much better coffee, free wireless is hard to beat.</p>

<p>Everybody is free to come. No admission, no registration. Share the love.</p>

If you speak German and are interested in some impressions of this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcamp">barcamp</a> tune in to <a href="http://mogulus.com/barcamphannover">mogulus</a> (the introduction of attendees live streamed video recorded with notebook webcams) or <a href="http://qik.com/video/25457">qik</a> (live streamed video recorded on mobiles right at the beginning of the after party).</p>

<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to the following <a href="http://barcamp.org/">barcamps in Germany and Europe this year</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Re-opening a written post using WordPress&#8217; built-in visual editor will remove most of the styles I was using in this post. Especially paragraphs and linebreaks.  On load I briefly see the underlying code having paragraphs but once the &#8220;visualness&#8221; kicks in all those styles are gone. Grrr.</p>

<p>I was under the impression, that Safari 3 is now a first class citizen regarding JavaScript-powered web pages. But maybe the visual editor wasn&#8217;t tested thoroughly for Safari 3. What a pity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While listening to some session at the WordCamp 08 in Hamburg, I was thinking why most of the people are using WordPress.</p>

<p>First a small history lesson about blogging software I was considering using for my blog.</p>

<p>Ages ago, when Textpattern was in it&#8217;s infancies, I was shure I would use either Wordpress or Textpattern after trying to install both of them together with Movable Type. Movable Type was <strong>the then</strong> blogging software of choice.</p>

<p>I was a newbie regarding blogging software and server configuration at this time. Installation took me for
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a>: about 5&mdash;10 minutes. Quite easy, no hassels.</li>
<li><a href="http://textpattern.com/">Textpattern</a>: about the same for WordPress</li>
<li><a href="http://movabletype.org/">Movable Type</a>: about 45 minutes while dying in pain</li>
</ul></p>

<p>So, no Movable Type for me.</p>

<p>Movable Type probably has changed since then, but they still rely on their foundation they then built. Getting lots of venture capital doesn&#8217;t help to make this software more usable. At least they gave non-technical people a way to get into blogging without having to get a hoster and set up their blog by themselves.</p>

<p>Coming back to WordPress. Because Movable Type was out and I wasn&#8217;t willing to pay for a blogging software &mdash; there are some nice commercial ones &mdash; I opted for WordPress because of the wealth of themes and plugins. I would probably have chosen Textpattern over WordPress because I <em>really</em> like the beauty of reduced design and typography which was the main feature of Textpattern. Also Textpattern used <a href="http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/">Textile</a>, a built-in web text generator which lets you style your text in less arkward ways then html.</p>

<p>On WordPress I use <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a>, which is a similar generator and available as a WordPress plug-in.</p>

<p>But there&#8217;s one thing which would let me drop WordPress: PHP.</p>

<p>WordPress is built with PHP. PHP applications tend to be more of a security issue for internet servers than other comparable solutions. Therefore I really would like to shut down <a href="http://php.net">PHP</a> on my server to avoid security holes. Okay, some people will hate me for writing this.</p>

<p>If I&#8217;ll get my stuff together I may change to an all <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/">Ruby</a> version running <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Ruby on Rails</a> for a coming web application of mine. The blog will also be built on Ruby / RoR.</p>

<p>We&#8217;ll see.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m eagerly awaiting the keynote on tuesday. I tend to skip most of the rumors nowadays, because I do not gain anything from them anymore.</p>

<p>Either the rumors are vage and incomplete and therefore just useless, or the rumors are valid and cover all the details, which <strong>seriously</strong> spoil the fun watching the keynote. I never forgive me for having a peak at the Canadian Time cover the day before the keynote in (wait a sec, hmm&#8230;) 2002 to get a first glimpse at the new iMac (flat panel, luxo).</p>

<p>Even if you are not an Apple fan or don&#8217;t plan on buying new stuff, a Steve Jobs keynote is always fun and enlighting. If you have ever been bored to death by some cheesy power point slide show displayed behind an even more boring presenter, <em>please</em>, do yourself a favor and watch Steve Jobs giving a keynote.</p>

<p><em>OK, so what would I like to have on tuesday evening?</em><br />
Of course a new notebook.</p>

<p><em>Which kind of notebook?</em><br />
Hm, still can&#8217;t make up my mind. Either a fancy new MacBook Pro or an ultra-light MacBook with 3G mobile wireless built in.</p>

<p>An ultra-light would be cool but I think I will miss my internal optical drive. And for proper work I need more pixel on screen than an ultra-light can provide.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I&#8217;m likely tending to be always on (-line). An iPhone is cool, but still somewhat limited. Have to decide until after the keynote. First come, first serve. Grr.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, kind of, but more promising. I cannot tell you all the details about it right now, but in a few days <a href="http://www.oliverberger.de">Oliver</a> will tell you all about &#8220;Project MM&#8221;. In my opinion it&#8217;s a coming StartUp with a lot of potential, because I&#8217;m eager to use it by myself, which is always a good sign.</p>

<p></p><p>I have been to the <a href="http://www.pl0gbar.de/">pl0gbar</a> in Hamburg yesterday to enjoy a little bit of Texas Hold&#8217;em Poker. pl0gbar is a gathering of Web 2.0 developers, users, and entrepreneurs meeting every other week in coupe of major German cities. Prior to meeting the other guys over there we met at the <a href="http://www.qype.com/place/44017-hatari-Pfaelzer-Stueble-Hamburg">Hatari</a> around the corner to discuss Oliver&#8217;s <a href="http://www.oliverberger.de/2008/01/09/pl0gbar-kreativer-nahrboden-fur-die-startup-idee/">idea</a>. While having a great burger Oliver was explaing his new project in detail to <a href="http://www.inthechaos.de/blog/">zeniscalm</a>, <a href="http://www.xing.com/profile/Florian_GreinerPetter">Florian</a> and me.</p>
<p>To sum it up in a short sentence: If you ever felt limited by your favorite established social networks, you won&#8217;t be with &#8220;Project MM&#8221;.Apart from being more social and friendlier <span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span">you</span> will be in charge of the whole show.</p>
<p>We discussed different scenarios and applications which look very promising. A detailed plan has already been forged. We continued the discussion and had a little brainstorming at the pl0gbar with <a href="http://blogoversum.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/social-network-20-projekt-mm-pl0gbar-und-die-folgen/">Bastian</a>, who instantly committed himself to the project. Quite a lot of people like to be involved in the project, so I think it will build momentum in a very short timespan. I cannot wait to get my hands on the prototype&#8230;</p>
<p>BTW, pl0gbar is always fun – you might have seen it on <a href="http://mogulus.com/">Mogulus</a> – and very much recommended to attend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Toying around with this blog is fun. At least sometimes. I mean – err – at the beginning.</p>

<p>Some people did some great stuff for WordPress which I appreciate very much. But after trying out some new themes and plugins, I need more plugins for the new themes and new themes which support those shiny new plugins.</p>

<p>After switching themes, which support different plugins (like Hemmingway and K2), some stuff will break. Like archives in Hemminway. Or so it seems.</p>

<p>Getting all up and running felt like a trial and error server configuration. I stumble around, fiddle with some settings, get annoyed by Unix permissions, and forget all about time. At least skins are working fine.</p>

<p>So many hours passed and I&#8217;m really worn out.</p>

<p>Time to sleep – what&#8217;s left until morning.</p>
