Fable incompatable to WindowBlinds

I just got Fable and wanted to play it... but as soon as it starts it crashes...
Then i tried multiple things until i found out: it has a Problem with windowblinds...

You have to thing about it: A microsoft programmed game does not work on a microsoft operating system with an in coporate with microsoft prgrammed styling tool....

Damn microsoft, another reason they don't know what they are doing!

Fortunately you can unload windowBlinds any Time and play fable...

As for Fable: The Intro is nice.. but has no real Story.. and What the hell with that BIG microsoft logo?? If the Title of the Game is that Big ok, but for microsoft?

I know. . it already says in Fable narcism is perfectly normal.. seems like microsoft thought of themselves...

DbDesigner Problems with MySQL

When working with Databases i use DbDesigner, since it is a free tool and is working great although they have stopped working on it a long time ago. The whole development team is working for MySQL now and are working on MySQL Workbench, but there is only an alpha yet.

So the only open source solution is still DbDesigner..
A couple of days ago i come up with a big problem .. DbDesigner on my PC was not able to connect to my Servers Database... i was looking over an over again and found the Problem...

Since i am using Debian, my MySQL Version was updatet a couple of times now and now there is a new adjustment in the my.cnf File called bind-address.

If you use:
bind-address 127.0.0.1
only the localhost can access the database. Since i am using a Server behind a FireWall and only for development purpose i just had to disable the Line and now everything is working again.

Thanx for this tipp to a good friend of mine ;-)

css3 multi-column layout with javascript

I just got a link from a friend with an ingenous code. It provides the posibility to change normal Text plots into a multiple columns layout.

The cool thing, it is a javascript providing the possibility to use the new css3 features for multi-columns in css.

check it out!
