Graceful visual overflow

By Robert ⋅ February 29, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

As a photography enthusiast this tool comes pretty handy. Flickr Leech uses the Flickr API to provide us with an overwhelming number of thumbs (see pic). Providing 200 thumbnails of a specific date or tag it’s great for the inspirational browsing when one is procrastinating in contrast to the 24 thumbs you get from Flickr. […]

Using Pixelpost as my Photoblog Software

By Robert ⋅ December 29, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

After months of experimenting I got back to where I started from: Pixelpost. Pixelpost is a php-driven free software to present pictures fast, clean and easy to install. If your server or host meets the requirements (PHP 4.3 or greater (w/ GD-lib) & MySQL 3.23.58 or greater) you are able to set up this open-source […]

Flickr slideshow for blogs

By Robert ⋅ August 20, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

123flickr.com provides a nice solution to show your flickr photosets as a diashow in your website. Just type the photoset-id in the form (last combination of numbers showing in the link when you select a set of your pictures) and receive the code to embed in your site. Sad but perhaps planned for future development: […]

Antistress programme

By Robert ⋅ July 7, 2007 ⋅ One comment

The past 4 days I went through the personal nightmare of every computer owner. During my last project, just when I sent 32 pages via FTP to the printing press, my computer froze to death. It never happened to me like this before… Not during playing a game with heavy graphic, not during nibbling around […]

Happy family logo

By Robert ⋅ May 24, 2007 ⋅ 3 comments

Yesterday I designed a logo for a client who is working in parent consultancy. It is interesting to look at the basics of an iconesque appearance: what is necessary to have female/male distinction, what can you omit to achieve adequate reduction? I’ll work more on that…

The Kuenringers stronghold

By Robert ⋅ May 20, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Today my wife, my youngest son David and I visited our friends in Lower Austria. Their house sits aside an interesting ruin of the 12th century of the Kuenringer.
Founded 1056, the Kuenringer originally came from Bavaria and were given three ‘hoofs’ of land in a village called “Hecimanneswisa” by King Henry III after their […]

Colour Gift For You

By Robert ⋅ May 17, 2007 ⋅ One comment

I am sending you a greeting. Life is way too serious to forget about beautiful things. Take a step back and look at nature. Every year we have the chance to see plants grow and blossom - providing the most amazing colours and shapes. So I decided to design this card - dedicated to […]
