SQL Cookbook - O'Reilly Media
O, funny! I already own this one, so I could remove it again from my "wish-list". So, I guess, I will have to announce a course on that, right?!!?

an event scheduler - my latest perl helper
The need for a new helper script in Perl arose recently. I called it JHschedule_courses.pl.
I wanted to create weekly events,
I was pretty sure, I could achieve this functionality using Steffen Beyer's Date::Calc (esp. Add_Delta_YMD), which I have been using in variouses contextes for many years now. And now it's done. Thanks a lot to Steffen Beyer! Do you have an Amazon wishlist?
I wanted to create weekly events,
- given a start date,
- given the number of weeks,
- given the offset of the registration deadline,
- and given the offset of the end date of that event.
- the start date within any such week,
- the respective registration deadline,
- and the respective end date.

SUSE Studio: Build openSUSE 11.3 appliances now
SUSE Studio: Build openSUSE 11.3 appliances now
The interesting topic here (for me) is: how to build appliances for AWS? And apparently SUSE and AWS use incompatible versions of Xen. But sooner or later they are going to solve this.

being O.T. on mailing lists
A (nice) guy told me in a nice way, one of my postings looked like advertising for O'Reilly books on that mailing list. Luckily enough, we had connected before through Xing (for the U.S. guys: something liked LinkedIn), I gave him a call on his mobile phone, and we talked about it. He actually agreed, that my posting on O'Reilly's new HTML5 book was the least O.T. posting out of a couple, but still.
Good to get feedback from "mates" and to sort it out one-2-one.
That still tells me, to be a little more cautious with public announcements.
It was about a presentation on HTML5, that I offered to give. Actually: From my "being slightly O.T." on a couple of mailing lists came an invitation to a technology conference in October. The guy reckoned, if I had specifically offered to that particular group, that I would give a presentation on their meeting, that would have been alright.
Hmmm. Well, it was meant that way. And "just in case", nobody wanted it on any of the local user groups' meeting agendas, I would have presented it "wherever".
I think I do need a marketing person for that. It's just that I can't even afford employing and salarizing myself these days. So instead of doing nothing I think I have to accept, that errors and problems and misunderstandings just occur … and deal with them.
I do have these Israeli marketing girls on my twitter following list, that's a little like an ongoing course on that topic – a little.

Who is going to join me in this effort?

This book appeared in their Up and Running series, which is not to be confused with their other series The Definitive Guide.
Here is the text from the back page:
If you don't know about the new features available in HTML5, now's the time to find out. This book provides practical information about how and why the latest version of this markup language will significantly change the way you develop for the Web.
HTML5 is still evolving, yet browsers such as Safari, Mozilla, Opera, and Chrome already support many of its features -- and mobile browsers are even farther ahead. HTML5: Up & Running carefully guides you though the important changes in this version with lots of hands-on examples, including markup, graphics, and screenshots. You'll learn how to use HTML5 markup to add video, offline capabilities, and more -- and you’ll be able to put that functionality to work right away.
- Learn new semantic elements, such as <header>, <footer>, and <section>
- Meet Canvas, a 2D drawing surface you can program with JavaScript<
- Embed video in your web pages without third-party plugins>
- Use Geolocation to let web application visitors share their physical location<
- Take advantage of local storage capacity that goes way beyond cookies
- Build offline web applications that work after network access is disconnected
- Learn about several new input types for web forms
- Create your own custom vocabularies in HTML5 with microdata
Berlinians eager for a presentation can leave a comment here suggesting days, times, and locations. As soon as the figure is on a serious level, I am instantly going to set up a Doodle Poll, promised!
I think, I can promise a couple of free copies of the book sponsored by O'Reilly.

Being Geek - your career in IT - O'Reilly Media
Being Geek - O'Reilly Media
I plan on having a talk on this book at a very nice location in Berlin, like these ones:
Update / 2010-08-09 :
Talked to a well-known German chain book store today. The presentation will take place there, but not very soon. Any TV or radio broadcasting station interested in this?
Whoever wants to have a look into the book and let me summarize the contents: contact me and we will find time and place to do so!
Should there really be enough people showing interest, we can meet at c-base.org or just about anywhere in town. Contact me!
Abstract:
As a software engineer, you recognize at some point that there's much more to your career than dealing with code. Is it time to become a manager? Tell your boss he’s a jerk? Join that startup? Author Michael Lopp recalls his own make-or-break moments with Silicon Valley giants such as Apple, Netscape, and Symantec in Being Geek -- an insightful and entertaining book that will help you make better career decisions.
With more than 40 standalone stories, Lopp walks through a complete job life cycle, starting with the job interview and ending with the realization that it might be time to find another gig. Many books teach you how to interview for a job or how to manage a project successfully, but only this book helps you handle the baffling circumstances you may encounter throughout your career.
I plan on having a talk on this book at a very nice location in Berlin, like these ones:
- c-base.org
- Berlin.Betahaus.de (it is really troublesome to talk them, as long as you're not rich)
- steigenberger.com/de/Berlin
Update / 2010-08-03 17:30 : Here is the Doodle poll link for the event. Pls mention your preferred location!
Update / 2010-08-05 :
There are not just friends out there, means: I had to find a way to make sure, the poll doesn't get screwed by trolls.
I spoke to O'Reilly at Cologne – participants well get a few free copies.Update / 2010-08-05 :
