Thanks to being much more active lately, I thought I’d share my current DJ setup with you. Be aware: My main focus is still webradio broadcasting and (podcast) recording (yes, I upload my shows to Mixcloud, on a semi-regular base; ie.

Back from the future
Yeeess .. this site is back, finally! And for the future, there is going to be a bit more content and blah about this twitching thing called DJing live, Twitch and other atrocities 🙂 For starters, I am gonna describe my current DJ setup, and next, potential uses for non-webradio DJs, eg. an audio loop […]
Finding the right tool: Whiteboards
The story so far: About 4 weeks ago, I set out to find a proper helper to both depict the thought process that goes into developing a specific site element – in my case, the footer area of a shop. My findings so far: Either collaborative whiteboards are not the tools I think they should […]
Researching Online Collaboration using Whiteboards
Background story: When recently stumbling into this big hole of missing out on jobs, that’s been caused by that friendly virus called CoVid-19, I started taking on a few jobs for a member of my family. I did a few smaller ones for them before, like fixing hacked WP sites, replacing a borked newsletter system […]
Showing up next: Thoughts about this blog
Starting from today, this blog is also going to be used for posting and announcing stuff about my music shows, ie.

Master of the Home Office: Tools of Trade
As a matter of fact, I’ve been working from home for over 12 years by now. Thus, looking at all the panic and craze of the rest of the world with “we have to go into home office” kinda makes me both annoyed and amuzed: So you want to reinvent the wheel, kids? 😀 Before […]
Breaking the Curse of the Admin Redirection Loop
Second time this has happened to me: A WordPress site needed to be updated to WP 5.x and switched over to a temporary subdomain.

System Statistics 2019
So, didnt do an update to this for quite some time (alas, AlltagsGrauen is offline, so .. no opportunity to do that anyway :D). Without further ado, the current system infrastructure I’m using these days (or am going to use in the near future): Current main system: Thinkpad T520, i5 2520M, 16 GB RAM, 512 […]
Side note: Strange cryptic characters in shortcodes
Note: Also available in German 🙂 A colleague of mine today: There is a shortcode with strange-looking, cryptic characters in one of its attributes. Something like this: eyJoYWxsbyI6IndlbHQiLCJzb25nLXRpdGVsIjp7Im1laW4iOiJnZWhpcm4iLCJkZWluIjoiZ2VoaXJuIn0sInVybCI6Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdXNhYmlsaXR5LWlkZWFsaXN0Lm5ldCUyRiUyM2tvbnRha3QiLCJlaW5zX3BsdXMiOnRydWV9 My comment: Looks a bit like rot13 .. His reply a bit later on: Yes, it is base64, and the result is a JSON string. Putting the […]

This is just a small reminder to myself – and others, who might run into the same issue. There are many solutions on how to permanently or even semi-permanently disable the touchpad, when eg. just using the trackpad on a ThinkPad, or more common: When having plugged in a mouse.
