UPDATE: I uploaded some more pictures taken this weekend. Nadja driving her Bobbycar and the first “sessions” on the potty.
It took a long time. First, I did not find time for blogging. Then, when I started to write on Saturday, I got problems with my system. I just could not upload any pictures anymore! After a long sunday evening, which turned into an even longer sunday night, I was lost and desparate. I had tried to upgrade the system to the latest version (which failed due to some small mistake by myself) and finally had to rollback to the previous (back-uped) version. Today I finally found the reason. It is not WordPress, it is also not my beloved NextGenGallyer-Plugin. The reason is 1&1, my hoster. Luckily I found a workaround, if you are interested.
Fact 1: Now I definitely will change my hoster with the end of my running contract. The price-service-ratio is miserable. My new blog is running at Strato already.
Fact 2: Nothing of this is probably at any interest of you. You were looking for updates from Nadja, so here they are:
14. Feb 2009, kurz nach dem Mittagbino – what?
I started another website recently: www.binomsc.com. bino-what? binomsc! Pronounced “bino-m-s-c”.
Why “binomsc”, what does that mean? Well, this is my “unique user name”. A name which I use for more than 10 years when surfing the net. Whenever someone ask for “user name”, “login name”, “nickname” or something like that, it’s time for binomsc. And as a look at Google confirms, it seems that I am the only one using that strange name. So, if you come across “binomsc”, its 99% me: Martin Scholz from Berlin ;-) But, again, what is the story behind that name? Well, it is a long one…

There is a world record to be set! And, honestly, is there any better browser than Firefox? At least for Windows I don’t know one!
One hundred postings. Wow. Who would have expected that? All right, probably my family and friends as they know I LOVE to talk and tell and communicate ;
Nearly one year ago, in June 2007, I wrote my first posting. Thanks to the support of my colleague Nils I was able to update my website last summer. For me a “Must have” since I changed from the international print business team in the newly founded team “New Media International”. Becase my old homepage(s), static, partly written in HTML by myself, partly done with programs like NetObjects in HTML, were not longer “up to date”. Thanks to WordPress I now own a modern blog. And thanks to a lot of easy-to-use and very helpful plug-ins there are even features like tag-cloud, multilingual posts, photo-shows with cool designs, “built-in” videos (instead of YouTube-streaming :-) ) available just like on professional big websites. Let’s see what I will plug in next… More important than all these nice gadgets is still one thing: “Content” – what is published here. I hope, this keeps interesting for you – if not: please give me a hint! :-)
It is unbelievable, but true: With the help of WordPress-PlugIns I am able to achieve something what seems to be impossible for some of my business projects: Multi-language capability! This is the first post published in English and German. I will (have to ;-) ) stick to this two languages as these are the only ones I am brave enough to use and write… well, at least two! ;-)
All right, all static pages are translated, the navigation and the categories, even the sidebar. Although there are some bugs, dunno how to fix that yet. I will not translate the older posting so please bear with me… I will try to write all new posts in German and English so the English content will grow soon.
Für einige der netten Funktionen meines Blogs (“PlugIn”) hab ich schon Updates geladen gehabt. Doch an die eigentliche Plattform, WordPress, hab ich mich lange nicht heran getraut, von wegen SQL-Datenbank-BackUp und so…
Heute dann aber doch. Und es hat gut, sehr gut funktioniert! Meine Daten sind da, meine Fotos, die individuellen Anpassungen beim Design und sogar bei einigen kleineren Funktionalitäten laufen problemlos – nur das “Umfrage-Tool” will noch nicht mit der aktuellen Plattform :-)
Schade, aber dafür gibt es ein paar neue, geniale Funktionen: das automatische Update von PlugIns zum Beispiel! ;-) Und neue PlugIns, zum Beispiel neue Fotodarstellungen – wie findet Ihr zum Beispiel diese?
Mein Kollege Nils hat beschlossen, dass der Blog inzwischen gut genug ist, um berühmt zu werden. Nach einem Blick auf die Webstatistik haben wir auch festgestellt, dass nach den Anfangserfolgen nach dem Relaunch nun etwas Marketing sinnvoll erscheint, um den “Drive” nicht zu verlieren. Also, rein mit dem Blog in das Technorati-Universum! Here we go:

Mein Kollege Mathes wies mich darauf hin, dass das Registrieren für die meisten Webseitenbesucher ein (zu) großes Hindernis darstellt, um einen Kommentar zu hinterlassen. Ich dachte, man sollte es als SPAM-Schutz einstellen. Aber es gibt wohl recht effektive Tools, um SPAM-Kommentare deutlich zu reduzieren oder gar zu verhindern. Ich musste zwar eine Weile suchen, aber nun habe ich das “Häckchen” gefunden, mit dem ich den Registrierungszwang wieder aufheben konnte.
Kurz gesagt: Happy commenting! Keine Registrierung mehr nötig, sondern einfach drauf los schreiben… :-)
