Für alle, die Java lernen wollen, und keinen Platz mehr für noch einen 1000-Seiten-Wälzer im Bücherschrank haben (oder denen es auch einfach an Zeit und Lust mangelt, sich durch solch einen Katalog hindurchzuarbeiten), habe ich eine ganz, ganz kurze Einführung geschrieben: das 
Java Cheat Sheet. Continue reading
The Nil Interpreter
Well, for those of you who don’t know it: The Nil Programming Language is a programmer’s joke I came up with some time ago. Well, there’s not much to it except that I always thought it’s an example that you shouldn’t use a computer after a couple of beers 🙂

All of this works cross-platform and is as customizable as it’s “Plug and play”. Continue reading
RealBackup
This program backs up any REALbasic project file in regular intervalls, so you can easily go back to a previous version if necessary. Since this has proven to be quite handy even for some other files (Photoshop works well!), I spiced it up a bit and made it public. Continue reading

Ever got letter soup and don’t know how to clean it up?
TextConverter offers an easy and user friendly interface to your Macintosh’s text encoding converter functions. Additionally, it features an html-entity converter and an option to define your own custom encoding. Continue reading
Mac Fortune
This is a simple Mac-like port of the U*ix “fortune” command line tool. It includes the original fortune database so there’s no lack of geeky saying for every day. Continue reading
