Trip to Kuala Lumpur

Last week I went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a workshop with colleagues from Australia, China, India and Japan. On the agenda were topics around our global EAI platform. It was really good to eventually meet the people, I only knew from the phone.

Luckily we were able to fly into KL on Saturday morning, so we had some time to adjust to the local time (for us Germans that is -6h time difference) and to get around the city a bit. On Saturday went to the Petronas Towers Skybridge and walked around the Kampung Baru night market. On Sunday we walked around China town, where we got wet feet. See pictures below.

My Latest Firefox Plugin: It’s all Text

It’s All Text is my latest installed Firefox plugin. It let’s you edit text from a HTML text field (a.k.a. textarea) in your favourite text editor (Textpad, Ultraedit, etc. etc.). The plugin automatically synchronizes the HTML text field and the text editor. This is especially nice for editing larger texts such as wiki pages, blog post, email in Gmail, and so on.

Although I’m usually somewhat reluctant to install Firefox (mostly because of performance and stability considerations), I installed It’s All Text right away and do not regret it.
