Iconfinder Today I want to introduce to you three websites that I use for my programs as well as for my work here on the blog frequently. Have you guessed what it is? No? It comes to icons. Such as they are in almost every beginning of my blog articles.
I got all these icons more or less from three portals on the net. Of course completely legally and free of charge. And how that goes, I do not hide from you.
The three sites at issue are the following:

www.iconarchive.com
www.iconfinder.com
www.findicons.com

All three sites are built up similar. They not only offer you a total of over 650,000 different icons, but beyond this, also the possibility to sort the icons by their type of license. This allows you for example to search only […]

How to improve WordPress load speed by Lazy Load plugin

Posted by Raffael on 09/21/2013 Posted in Tutorials, Web Tips, Wordpress Tagged jQuery lazy load, jquery sonar plugin, Lazy Load plugin, Wordpress, Wordpress lazy load, Wordpress performance tips

Lazy Load Image Today I want to give the WordPress bloggers among you a little tip. It’s about the free WordPress plugin Lazy Load, that serves to reduce the loading time of your WordPress blog. But how does it work?
Lazy Load jQuery makes advantage of the Sonar Expansion and loads images only when they come into the viewport. In plain text, images are only loaded when they are in the visible area of your web browser. The more images you have in an article/or on your main page, the more time you can save accordingly with the Lazy Load plugin.
Instead, the visitor must wait until all images are loaded so that he/she can scroll without lags, jerking or other restrictions on your site, visitors can now get going on much faster. Only when he scrolls into […]

Posted by Raffael on 09/02/201309/02/2013 Posted in Personal stuff, Web Tips Tagged who has visited my xing profile, Xing, Xing reverse search, Xing reverse search engine, Xing visitors without premium, Xing.com

For some days I’m also on Xing. Who is also there, will certainly know the function that displays the last visitors of one’s own profile.
Unfortunately you do not get the names of your visitors, but only small thumbnails of the last visitor appears in the basic membership at Xing. Also a link to their profile is not given.
This feature is dedicated to premium users (~ 7 € / month) only. But that’s only the half truth.
Find out who visited your Xing progile without having premium status
In most cases it is possible to find out who were the last visitors on the own profile without premium membership. Therefore you have to compare the visitors thumbnails against some data.
In order to simplify the search procedure, as an exercise for myself and as a feasibility study […]

netreflector Today I want to briefly highlight a few alternatives to Redgates .NET Reflector. Former I frequently used this tool, but since it costs money and there are good and useful free alternatives, this is no longer between my fingers.
The following parenthesis is for those who don’t know what’s meant by the term .NET Reflector/decompiler. All the other can read on below the following paragraphs.
What is a (. NET) decompiler?
.NET Reflector was the first CLI assembly browser. It can be used to inspect, navigate, search, analyze, and browse the contents of a CLI component such as an assembly and translates the binary information to a human-readable form. By default Reflector allows decompilation of CLI assemblies into C#, Visual Basic .NET, Common Intermediate Language and F# (alpha version). Reflector also includes a “Call Tree” that can be […]

ColorCodes - Übersicht Today I would like to point you to a small project of mine, which I have released a few minutes ago. Concrete it’s “colorcodes.code-bude.net“, a small website which presents you a list of all the colors that are in the Color-struct of the .NET framework.
On the home page you get an overview in list form, including RGB and hexadecimal representation of the colors. Via a link in each table entry you will be lead to a details page (like that), where all information is summarized again for each color.
ColorCodes - Detailansicht The whole thing is more practice and research project, than a serious webpage. For one, I wanted to do some little finger exercise – so all […]
