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 in general, I have created […]

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 used to drill down into […]

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 pages have been automatically generated with a C# […]

raspberry pi logo Once we have clarified in this article how to set up a the DynDNS (Dynamic DNS) service for your domains rented at Namecheap.com, we will have to focus on how keep the IP/DNS records for each DynDNS domain up to date.
In another article I have explained how to do this using a Fritzbox. As for me, I have not only my Fritzbox 24/7 connected to the internet, but also my Raspberry Pi. So I will show you how to setup your Raspberry Pi to use it as a DynDNS client for use with Namecheap.
How to use Namecheap DynDNS service with ddclient on the Raspberry
Log into your Raspberry Pi (by ssh for example) or open a terminal window if you are working directly on Pi. In the first step we have to install ddclient, a […]

How to configure Namecheap DynDNS in Fritzbox

Posted by Raffael on 07/21/201307/21/2013 Posted in Tutorials, Web Tips Tagged DaynamicDNS, DynDNS, Fritzbox, Namecheap, Namecheap Fritzbox

dyndns refresh In the previous article I have explained, how you can set up your domains, which are rented from Namecheap.com, for use with DynDNS (Dynamic DNS). In this article, we will focus on how to configure your Fritzbox, so that it always sends the current IP to the Namecheap DynDNS interface.
While this also possible through various clients for PC or MAC, I find the configuration with Fritzbox particularly attractive, because it is anyway running around the clock and thus no PC or MAC unnecessarily consumes more power.
(Who prefers a Raspberry Pi over a Fritzbox, should read this article here.)
Set up Namecheap DynDNS in the Fritzbox
Log into the webpanel of your Fritzbox. This should be normally accessible by navigating to http://fritz.box or http://192.168.178.1 in a browser of your choice.
