AceXpander 1.1 is now a universal binary. To make this possible, the application has been completely re-implemented in Objective-C. As usual you can find everything on the AceXpander page.

Once again, this is not a feature release. Almost all of the new stuff has happened behind the scenes, e.g.

• a crippling bug in the intermediate release 1.0.2 has been fixed
• in the source tar ball you will find a couple of UML diagrams and you can generate source code documentation with doxygen
• the way how the unace binary is launched has changed completely

I have released AceXpander 1.0.1 - you can download it here. Feature-wise the release is not interesting. The new stuff has happened on the artistic side: I have added an application and a document icon, and the project has now a slightly different name to accomodate the new icons and logo (new name: AceXpander, old name: AceExpander).

I have finally ditched my old PGP key, from now on please use the updated public key that is available from the URL that you can see on the bottom of every page on this site. My original key was generated by an application from www.pgp.com, in a time when they still had products that were free for home use. These days they seem to be very commercial, so I have started working with the Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG), and, especially, with its Mac port Mac GPG.

The long and painful process of finding the ultimate CMS for herzbube.ch has gone forward another step. I have decided to abandon phpWebSite in favor of Drupal. Let's see how long this reincarnation lives...

Finally there is a Debian package for Bugzilla 2.20. I have upgraded the site to the 2.20 version.

It might seem a bit overblown to have an entire Bugzilla installation for the simple stuff that can be found on the software projects page. On the other hand, Bugzilla is a really nice defect tracking system and I would like to keep up-to-date with its development.

May I present to you... Herzilla :-) If you want to fool around a bit, just hop over and try the test product...

Update March 2025: Alas, bugs.herzbube.ch has ceased operation due to my self-hosting project coming to an end.

I added my Curriculum Vitae. Note: I am extremely happy with my current job, so putting up my CV really has no special meaning...

I finally got around to make a small logo for this web site: you can see it at the top of every page. I also changed the footer to include my e-mail address and PGP key.

My old homepage is dead. After many years of manually messing around with HTML and CSS text files in vi, I finally became tired of it. So I went out and installed phpWebSite. You are now looking at the result of this reincarnation.
