What Google and Mr. Burns have got in common
They’re both old fashioned.
I discovered this when receiving my first Google Adsense check from Google’s bank in Germany. This sort of intra-EU payment might have been “cutting edge” a century ago. Nowadays it’s just odd and annoying, because I have to leave the office during the very restricted opening hours of my bank to cash [...]
Microsoft Analytics Beta – exclude webpage parameters!
After almost one month of collecting data with Microsoft’s new adCenter Analytics (beta)*, I wanted to have a closer look at the many detailed reports today (and then – of course – blog about it). Turns out I’ve been collecting largely useless data because I had failed to exclude parameters like “?gclid=…” and Microsoft Analytics [...]
Tagged adcenter, analytics, microsoftWebsites with and without ‘www’
Double-u double-u double-u is one of the few things you can say much faster if you say it in German (just say “v v v”). I’m German, so I continuously strive for efficiency (nah, possibly I’m just lazy), which is why it annoys me that I still have to type “www” in front of some [...]
Thank you for the SPAM, ADR!
With all that foreign spam overwhelming my company’s mailboxes, I was deeply moved when I received an unsolicited newsletter from what blogger Charles Betz called “the far-right ridiculous Luxembourgish party Alternativ Demokratesch Reformpartei (ADR)” today.
Finally I get some spam made in Luxembourg (even if its being sent from a server in Germany)! Thank you, Alternativ [...]
Workaround for 1&1’s mail server problems
Deutscher Text weiter unten.
If you’re still having problems receiving your emails with 1&1 (1and1 / 1und1), here’s a workaround:
Log in to your control panel and set up email forwarding to an account not run by 1and1 (e.g. Gmail). Unlike POP3 and IMAP access, forwarding seems to be working fine. It is important that [...]
Netobjects Fusion now produces code that validates
One of the things I’ve been doing while not updating this blog was looking for a web editor to replace the ancient NetObjects Fusion 7.0 still used (together with heavy “post-processing”) for some of my most important websites.The programs I had planned to have a closer look at were NetObjects Fusion 9, Nvu and [...]
421 Too many SMTP sessions for this host
This is not the message I wanted to get after sending an important e-mail to a supplier in Taiwan. To make things worse, this isn’t a message I received when connecting to my (e-mail) provider’s mail server. Instead, the mail server itself received this message when trying to relay my e-mail to Hinet, where my [...]
You’ve got mail – from Malta!
Thinking about using a remailing service to save money? Think again!
Today was a happy day for me as the software that comes bundled with my new managed server finally arrived. Actually, I had expected to receive it one week ago.
Looking at the postage stamp, I noticed the letter had not been sent from Germany (where [...]
