Top 7 WordPress SEO plugins

Posted by Raffael on Posted in Web Tips, Wordpress Tagged , ,

Top 7 WordPress pluginsSome days ago I was asked about my absolute favorite WordPress SEO plugins. At first I had to think about it for a while, because I wasn’t sure how to define what’s a “SEO plugin” and what isn’t. But now I’m sure.
The following is my personal top 7 of WordPress SEO plugins that I also use here on code-bude.net and/or en.code-bude.net. It should be noted that all the plugins I use are available to download for free.

Adjusting the screen resolution in VirtualBox

Posted by Raffael on Posted in Tutorials, Windows 8 Tagged , , , , ,

VirtualBox 4:3 screen-ratioFor almost two years, Windows 8 is now on the market. So enough time to find hundreds of reasons to set up a virtual machine running Windows 8. Unfortunately, you are greeted by the form factor of yesteryear already during the installation.
In plain language, the aspect ratio of the sceen was in 4:3 ratio, which looked really ugly on my laptop which is in widescreen format.
After the installation I wanted to resolve the “problem” by adjusting the screen resolution, but realized that I only had a choice between various resolutions in 4:3 factor.
Let us come to the thing – how can we fix it? The problem lies in the lack of support of the graphics driver. Normally this can be fix by re-installation of Oracle’s so-called guest expansion. But sometimes it simply doesn’t work and at […]

Build your own homeserver – what’s the right system?

Posted by Raffael on Posted in Homeserver Tagged , , , , ,

Homeserver im Eigenbau - DatacenterA couple of days ago, a friend of mine (and co-worker) and myself talked about the topic of homeservers, because we both were looking for viable solutions to make our files available in our home network. During our discussion, the following points were brought up repeatedly: price / performance ratio, processing power, storage, security, performance, power consumption (or operating costs) and flexibility.
Right from the beginning we discussed all solutions that weren’t called (Hardware-)NAS and rather quickly waved goodbye to the solutions that came our minds.
The Fritzbox as a NAS – And it lived happily ever after…
For example, one of the cheapest solutions that we thought of would be attaching an (or multiple) external harddrive via USB to our Router (Fritzbox) and configure the Fritzbox as a NAS. Most of the hardware would have […]

How to use C# Web Service Client with BasicAuth (for SAP)

Posted by Raffael on Posted in C#.Net, SAP, Tutorials Tagged , , , , , , , , ,

SAP Webservice with .NET Webservice Client and BasicAuthNo matter how frumpy SAP may look most of the time, nevertheless you can build such modern things like web services inside the SAP system. Even the WSDL (Web Service Description File) file can be generated in SAP. I read about this feature (WSDL generation) just at the right time, because recent days I should write a web service in SAP which should be triggered by a C# application.
In .NET web services can easily integrated via their WSDL file by using the WebReference feature of Visual Studio. Therefore Visual Studio generates a so-called proxy class from the given WSDL file which can be used to call all functions of the webservice without thinking too much.
As far as in theory. In practice I had to choose the security mode for […]

How to set default editor in WinSCP

Posted by Raffael on Posted in Tutorials Tagged , , ,

When it comes to secure file transfer, one or the other of you should probably have heard of the SFTP-client named WinSCP. WinSCP enables the secure transfer of data between two computers based on either the SSH protocol or the SFTP protocol and provides, as also many of the normal FTP-clients do, the functionality of editing files directly on the server (respectively edit them direct out of the WinSCP interface without the premise to manually download the files before editing).
Unfortunately WinSCP will open all text files in his own simple style editor. But if you want to edit script files like PHP scripts, which is what I want to do most times, you will miss the comfort of a good text editor like Notepad++ or Sublime Text. But don’t worry – there’s a solution also for this problem, so that you don’t have to give up your beloved features like syntax highlighting […]
