In Germany it is not legal to use Google Analytics without a indication. (Heise Online [German], a serious publisher of computer magazines). Therefore I’m not longer using Google Analytics. If you are surfing on akeller’s world no data will send to Google. Anyway Google knows already too much, on the other hand Google Analytics is not really reliable. All visitors that disallow Javascript (advisable) get not traced.

Nevertheless I’m interested, why (search-query) my blog is visited. For this reason I’m using SlimStat. In the last time more and more visitors are searching for a “PhotoScape Manual”. Hence I want to link to the good screencasts on the PhotoScape-Homepage. The screencasts are without spoken words and therefore somehow multilingual. Just watch and try it by your own. If there is a specific question you can leave here a comment or use the contact-form. If I’m able I will answer.

In the SemanticScuttle forum I promised that I will release this weekend a sneak preview of the SemanticScuttle Theme I’m working on. Unfortunately I had no time to finish it, therefore here only a screenshot of the theme, it is named “Miss Monk”:

As far as I finish it you can download it here but I have to ask for your patience because the next weeks I will be very busy.

Maybe you are also working on the style of your SemanticScuttle installation than this cheat sheet is maybe helpful for you:

It shows the basic elements of the standard cascading style sheet. If you want to print it you can download the PDF-Version.

Possibly you get an error-messages after installation. There are two known issues at the moment.

Opening-Tag <?

In the file templates/top.inc.php at line 52 is “<? ” used as an opening-tag. This is valid according w3 but some web-server do have a problem with this tag. Just change it to “<?php”

Warning: setlocale() [function.setlocale]

Maybe you get an error-message like:

Warning: setlocale() [function.setlocale]: Passing locale category name as string is deprecated. Use the LC_* -constants instead in C:\web\SemanticScuttle\includes\php-gettext\gettext.inc on line 131
Warning: setlocale() [function.setlocale]: Invalid locale category name LC_MESSAGES, must be one of LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, or LC_TIME in C:\web\SemanticScuttle\includes\php-gettext\gettext.inc on line 131

I had this once with an local XAMPP-installation. As far as I find out this is a problem of the web-server. For details visit PHP.NET.

Because this is only a warning you can avoid the output of this message by modifying
/includes/php-gettext/gettext.inc, at line 131 you find:

$ret = setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $locale);
Just at an @ before setlocale:
$ret = @setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $locale);

Today I rediscovered the program PhotoScape and I like it very much.
