That’s really!! easy:

Just use that code:

<code>
<script src=”http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js”></script> <script type=”text/javascript”>// <![CDATA[
new TWTR.Widget({ version: 2, type: 'profile', rpp: 10, interval: 6000, width: 'auto', height: 300, theme: { shell: { background: '#333333', color: '#ffffff' }, tweets: { background: '#000000', color: '#ffffff', links: '#4aed05' } }, features: { scrollbar: false, loop: false, live: true, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: false, behavior: 'all' } }).render().setUser('martin_m').start();
// ]]></script>
</code>

Replace “martin_m” with your own username.





Lot’s of people ask me: “Martin, how can I create online surveys?”

I mostly answer: “Use Google docs!”. That is quite something, because I also sell online surveys at a service, but then Google docs is even better than the program I use (although not as sophisticated). So if you want to create online forms…use Google docs and your survey will be online within 5 minutes. I am not joking!

So in order to show you how to create online forms I have made this instructional video, revealing how easy it really is. If you need help, just comment on this post and I’ll help you figure it out!

Yeah!

I just updated to AVG version 9.0.733. Whenever I want to upload a file to Youtube or Slideshare (or any other service) the upload bar jumps to 100% very fast (- unrealistically fast). After some trial & error and thanks to Google I found the solution:

The AVG Anti-Virus Link-Scanner is obviously programmed badly. It keeps me from uploading files to the internet (even via 3rd party programs outside the browser). Deactivating the Link-Scanner solved the problem for me.

Dear AVG – please solve that bug. Thanks!

Yesterday I changed my Skype username from lysander1983 to martin.metzmacher. Skype was one of the last domains (MSN still is, but I might just not bother with the one…it’s gonna die anyway) in which I was still “Lysander” and not “Martin”. I see this move from a synonym to “the real person” in a broader perspective, with two main points.

1. The Internet is becoming “real”. Real persons talk to other real persons.

2. I’m growing up. I used to think…oh no…I better not put my name out there – I might regret that one day. Now I think more like: Oh..let’s put my name out there or I might regret it one day.

I think it is a development that will continue. I hope that in a while everyone will be real – online and offline. Greetings to Herr X and Maeh Maeh – I still like you!

I have a dual monitor setup at home with two 19″ LCD Screens. This makes a lot of work that involves copy & past so much easier. It also helps me if I write an article and need to write at the same time as looking through a bunch of related articles.

However I sometimes just joyfully want to watch on episode of my faviourite TV show (actually I couldn’t decide between CSI and Lost), while answering my mails. The extremely annoying problem ist that the flash player will automatically drop out of full screen the moment I click anywhere on the second screen.
