www.wichtel.org

I have launched a small project called wichtel.org. The website is geared towards a german audience and is a website with which you can send anonymous messages to people during the pre-holiday season. In some parts of Germany it's a tradition to give small anonymous gifts to people at your workspace or in your class. This is an attempt to bring this idea to the internet.

Some people are not very content with the new look of the Dock in OS X 10.5 Leopard.

First Step

The first step is to edit the httpd.conf file which is located in /private/etc/.

Make sure you are using an administrator account for the following steps.

Recently I was sitting at Heathrow airport, surfing via a t-mobile hotspot. The website of the t-mobile hotspot told me that I could conveniently surf using my existing t-mobile cell-phone account and that it would cost me 0.12€ per minute. I like the idea, however I wanted to know how much money I actually spent. I searched for a widget that would let me track the time, but I couldn't find one.
