Qmail SpamAssassin & Greylisting Problems

On August 16, 2011, in Technology, by mike

As you may have noticed, page’em.com (beta) is finally out. We’re very happy about that, but also had a few problems while deploying on our new productive server.

Layout of our forms

On February 15, 2011, in Page'em, by we

Following last weeks post about the layout of our upcoming mails, this week I will give you a sneak peek at our forms.
Before we come to the forms itself, let me say some words on our specifications and all the thoughts we had.

Our requirements

When I was working on the layout I wanted all forms to look similar. So I had to think about all the different fields I may encounter and all layouting-options that may come with those field-types.

In addition I wanted to be able to return various messages based on the users input (errors on the users input, information what this field is about, and other information like password-strength etc). This message-box should appear and look the same no matter which side validated the users input (client-side validation with JavaScript or server-side with php).

The first draft

This was the first version I tried to build.

First draft of our upcoming login-form

I was rather happy with it and decided to implement a second one (the register form).

Learning Objective-C

On February 4, 2011, in Technology, by mike

As you read in our first project page’em will be available for various mobile-devices. It’s not a big surprise that the iPhone has to be one of them.

Since our team consists of 2 Java and 1 PHP programmer one of us had to jump in the cold water and learn Objective-C. But how can you learn a language like this? How different is it from the Java programming language? And do you really need to learn Objective-C to create your own iPhone app? A short insight in the not yet finished travel through the thoughts of the 3-egg team …

Debug with FirePHP

On January 30, 2011, in Technology, by we

Do you know these situations where your code doesn’t output the results you expect it to do? I guess every programmer knows.
But what do you do in these moments? When I started coding PHP I just printed out the variable.Fortunately this has changed over time :)
Now I’m working with FirePHP and XDebug (for the more difficult tasks). So for this weeks article I will write some lines about FirePHP.

Website performance: minify CSS and JS

On January 19, 2011, in Technology, by we

Currently I’m writing some HTML-code to finish the web-dummy based on the design we made. Where it is possible, I will try to tweak our page to minimize load and traffic on our server. So I thought I could share my experiences and thoughts with you guys.

This week I’ll start with the basics you need to know about minify.
I will explain what it is, how you achieve it and why you want to use it.
