Today, autumn begins. So it’s time to change. It’s time for the trees to change their color. It’s time to change your clothes. It’s time to change the blog design.
One and a half years ago we started our blog. The old design was created by ChuKy10, the new one by silense.
silense created four types. One for spring, summer, autumn and winter. I hope you enjoy the new layout(s).

It is often helpful to use an autocompleter on your website. Perhaps in search dialogs? An example is google on an extra search page.
I tested some free tools, but I had always the problem that there was no possibility to use two or more autocompleter on one page and to organize the dependency. E.g. insert a name of a country in the first textbox and in the second textbox insert a name of a city. On the city textbox you only want to see cities belonging to the inserted country – no other cities.
This problem was the reason why I developed my own autocompleter using xajax. This framework allows me to respond on the key events and select the values from the database. I could write my own functions and use any parameters.
I generated a textbox with a hidden div below which is calling a function on the onkeyup event by using xajax. In this test I mark the searched string with a span and on CSS I colored it blue. Additional I added a mouseover using CSS.
Here you could download the second version of my autocompleter.
Changes:
– Using the arrow keys to choose the correct value
– Performance Tuning

Have you ever thought about a method of saving sessions without getting a lot of session files or using a selfmade session handler?
The answer for this question is memcache. A module giving you the ability to store variables in memory for a defined time. You can install the module on a Linux and a Windows Server. I only want to explain you how to set it up on Linux Debian Etch.
At first you have to do is to install the server module.
apt-get install memcachedIf the application is already started, we have to kill the process to setup what we want.
memcached -d -u www-data -m 2048 -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211
Explain this command:
memcached (command)
-d (the parameter to run it in background)
-u www-data (to run it under the standard apache2 user www-data)
-m (Sets the space of the memcached server (in Mega Byte) (in this example 2048 MB (Mega Byte))
-l (Sets the IP the memcached server listens to)
-p (Sets the Port the memcached server listens to)
Now the memcache server runs as www-data with a space of 2024 MB RAM which is listen to localhost:11211. The next step is to involve PHP. For that we have to enable the module memcache.
You could get the latest version here. Please use the wget command to download the file. (Note: replace X.X.X. with the current version)
cd /usr/local/src wget http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-X.X.X.tgz tar zxvf memcache-X.X.X.tgz cd memcache-X.X.X apt-get install php5-dev phpize ./configure make && make install
Okay we have compiled the files. Now you have to move the memcache.so to your extension folder of PHP5. In my case I found the memcache.so in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/memcache.so, but maybe your location is different.
Now copy the file to /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs
The next step is to get the latest version of the memcache php5 extension in our extension directory. All we have to do now is to configure the php.ini by adding the following line.
extension=memcache.so
Before you could restart the apache2 server you need to set up the memcache that it will be used as session handler. The standard will look like this:
session.save_handler = files session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path" session.gc_probability = 0
You have to change it to:
session.save_handler = memcache session.save_path="tcp://127.0.0.1:11211?persistent=1&weight=1&timeout=1&retry_interval=15" session.gc_probability = 1
Save the ini file and restart your apache2 server.
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
When you take now a look into your phpinfo it should look like this:
(the white spaces are private settings)
Congratulations! If you create now a session it will be stored into the memory instead of creating a file.

As I checked my emails this morning, I was suprised as well as happy. I got an email from google that they have added TechnoBase.FM to their news search.
I’m really glad about that because hopefully more people get to know our radio. Now more readers are attracted to our page and so the participation of our news posters will be honored.
You can have a look by yourself: http://news.google.de/news?pz=1&ned=de&hl=de&q=site%3Atechnobase.fm

A friend told me something about a tool called fiddler2. It is a web debugging proxy. You only have to start this program and surf in the internet. You can see which pages / files are opened by each application, you can check the status (HTTP Status) and the used protocol, too.
It helps a lot by searching for errors!

As descripted in this news we released the new releases system on the We aRe oNe pages. Now you could search for releases, have a nice overview about all the releases and an interesting detail page. This system was created by Remolus, a member of the rarecore project!
But, that was only the first step. New features are coming soon:
- Artist overview with all releases grouped by an artist
- Many links to different online shops for buying the tracks (don’t search a long time)
- Link the tracklist to the releases
- Create your own charts by clicking on a track of the tracklist
- Comments and vote releases
