WP Tournament Registration v1.3.0 released

Only a small bugfix because E-mail notification when new participantts register did not work. Now fixed! Remark that I had to fix the docs, too. The E-mail field does not expect an address but a comma-separated list of WordPress user names and fetches the addy from the datbase. Head over to project site!

Bis dahin war es ein werbefreies Netzwerk für Grafiker und Fotografen gewesen. Eine Art Pinterest, nur mit besserem Content.

Configuring Friendica with Redis

I cannot remember exactly why I chose Friendica when I wanted to take a look on the Fediverse years ago but very likely it was because it is written in PHP which I have considerable skills of.

Running Java Applets and Flash Videos in Current Browsers

YaCy is a peer-to-peer search engine. Every peer sets up his own client and is able to crawl and index websites. Searches are carried out by contacting all known peers and cumulating their returns.
