Mini trick: Don't show printers in samba shares
Posted by coldtobi | 19 May, 2009, 22:24To help Windows understanding, that your local samba server does not support a printer, add to your smb.conf in the [global] section
disable spoolss = yes
Reload samba, add it will vanish ;-)

When you are looking for a new home for your (new) website project, you
usually have to stress search engines a lot. But then, with the
results, the quest really starts: There are tons of offers for hosting
on the net, and even if you can narrow down the list, there are some
more things you should consider while choosing your candidates.

A Recent Eclipse On Debian
Posted by coldtobi | 9 May, 2009, 13:58Eclipse is WAY outdated on debian. Even the unstable release ships a basically unmodified version since 3 years.
So today I decided to remove the ancient version -- which did not start anyway -- and try the new nice release from eclipse.org:
And, hey... It works like a charm. The only downside is, that it will run in a local directory in your home directory. But that could be fixed my installing in /opt and including it into the default path.

Paypal new TOS
Posted by coldtobi | 30 Apr, 2009, 23:27I just got a mail from paypal, that they are changing their AGB (German for Terms of Serivce) According the mail, the new version is effective from June 2nd.
Mostly, they correct spelling and grammar, but one thing is interesting: The strike the wording, that the ebay buyers protection is an "free, compliementary service".Reads for me, as there are plans for charging for this service.. We'll see.
(Addionally, make sure you buy on your local ebay site -- they limit the proctection for example to ebay.de --)
Changes of the AGB outlined:

php based home inventory system
Posted by coldtobi | 19 Apr, 2009, 21:07I'm currently looking for a system for keeping an overview over my electronic parts I have "on stock", storing the datasheets and keeping and especially where I put them.
During this I found "home-inventory". Looks ok, but also lacks some features, like it can only store images...
PS: I have to rethink about the "looks ok". The first peek on the source code reveals, that the author did not care about sanitizing user input:
// delete first picture if exist
$sSql = 'SELECT ITM_Picture FROM Item WHERE ITM_ID = ' . $_REQUEST['id'];
$pictName = fetchFromDb($sSql, true);
Aarrghh.
