Testing the syntax highlighting

Just installed a new plugin and want to test it. And what could be better than testing it in several programming languages at once?

# Language: Ruby
# This is so cool because it demonstrates how the String class itself gets opened and augmented
class String
     def say
         puts self
     end
 end
 'Hello, world!'.say
Language: Brainfuck
This is just weird (but funny!)
++++++++++[>+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<-]
>++.>+.+++++++..+++.>++.<<+++++++++++++++.
>.+++.------.--------.>+.>.
// Language: Objective-C
/*
Hmm... I don't really like this language but it's amazing that most parts
of Snow Leopard, Apple's latest operating system is written in this one
(or at least I think so)
*/
#import <stdio.h>
#import <objc/Object.h> 
 
@interface Hello : Object
{
}
- hello;
@end 
 
@implementation Hello
- hello
{
   printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
@end 
 
int main(void)
{
   id obj;
   obj = [Hello new];
   [obj hello];
   [obj free];
   return 0;
}
// Language: JAVA
// A classic
 public class HelloWorld
 {
      public static void main(String[] args) 
      {
           System.out.println("Hello, world!");
      }
 }
// Language: C#
// Looks almost like JAVA, feels kind of like JAVA, has a really bad IDE - in contrast to JAVA
class HelloWorldApp
{
    static void Main()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    }
}
// Language: C
// What should I say? Almost everyone learns programming here!
 #include <stdio .h>
 
 int main(void)
 {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
    return 0;
 }

Deactivated the old blogs

Alright. It’s done! My old blogs are finally down. The whole content is included in this one already and so I finally deleted the old, now redundant, wordpress installations and databases. http://defaude.info will – for the time being – just display a small message pointing to this blog. Just FYI 🙂

This is just another test of the trackback feature

So don’t really care about this post 😀 But if you happen to have your own wordpress-based blog, just pingback to this post by putting a link to https://blog.defaude.info/2009/10/this-is-just-another-test-of-the-trackback-feature/ directly into the content of one of your posts or by explicitly linking to https://blog.defaude.info/2009/10/this-is-just-another-test-of-the-trackback-feature/trackback/ in the “Send Trackbacks” field in the edit form.

Moving the blog – once more

It’s going to take a while until this system’s up and running the way I want it to, but I’ll keep you updated, of course 🙂

As I expected

Great… I’ve been spammed with hundreds of comments and so I’ve just re-activated the SpamBam protection. If, however, you want to submit a comment and get an error like “You must have JavaScript activated” etc. blah blah, please let me know as soon as possible.

Deactivated spam protection

Because many people complained about a “You must have JavaScript activated in order to comment blablablah” message when they were trying to comment, I temporarily deactivated the spam protection. Hopefully, my database is not going to be hammered with spam from now on…

WordPress 2.7

Wow finally, I found the time to update to WordPress version 2.7 – Just for those of you who might be interested in 😉 It’s quite neat! 😀

Just a small test…

This is just a little test of the WordPress application for the iPhone. It works! 😀

Pingbacks and other difficulties in my life

Hey hey, here I am again. Uncle Roland 🙂

Unfortunately, my WordPress installation seems to be bugging around a bit. Pingbacks and Trackbacks still don’t work so I’ve been playing around with my permalink structure and stuff like that for a while. It still does not seem to work so I’ve given up now…

But there have been several changes I would like to let my readers to know about: URL of this blog is http://defaude.info without the /blog2 appendix anymore. The old (German) blog can still be found under http://defaude.info/blog but as I mentioned, I will not continue writing in this one. I also changed the permalink structure a little bit so it does only contain the year and the month but not the day anymore. Please update your bookmarks if neccesary. 😉

And also the URL of my RSS feeds has changed! Entries can be found under http://defaude.info/feed and comments have their own RSS feed under http://defaude.info/comments/feed. If you have no idea of what I’m talking about here, feel free to ask me any time 😉

PS: Since the stupid trackback feature also does not seem to work at nordblog.core, I try to kick it right here.

A so-called first post

Hey everyone,

For those of you who just came to this page for the very first time: Welcome to my blog! Everyone else might notice that there have been several changes:

  • Changed to the full English version of WordPress
  • Completely plain installation right now, no additional plugins, themes or other gimmicks (more to come, don’t worry)
  • Content will be held in English (and maybe Japanese in the future)

The old blog can still be found here but I will most likely discontinue maintenance on it. Its purpose was mainly to provide information for my family and friends back in Germany during my stay in Japan. My time in Japan is now almost over for my flight back will be on September 5th and I’ve already quit working at Siemens. For the remaining time, I want to get a last grasp of the life here in Japan and especially Tokyo. And by the way: I really will miss Tully’s coffee:

At this point, I also want to thank all my readers and RSS-subscribers for their continued interest in my adventures here in Japan 🙂
