It has been just two weeks now and I’m already moving to another weblog system?!
Right! WordPress 1.0.1 has just been released and I started to realize that this is actually the successor of b2/cafelog. So, earlier or later anyway I would have been forced to go for it. Upgrading to this new system was not that easy as I’ve already done quite a few hacks in their code. But now it’s done. Iezzi.ch now supports RSS 2.0 feeds (see the badges on the bottom-right corner).

Currently I’m working on SourDough Framework, my light opensource framework for web-applications written in PHP. It contains a database abstraction layer I started to work on together with Rocco Siegrist back in summer 2002. This part is already pretty mature. My upcoming applications PPhlogger3 (future version of PowerPhlogger), Pigalle (picture gallery) and Yabook (guestbook) are going to work on the following database systems: MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server 2k. I have already tested them on those systems. The DB abstraction layer should also support FrontBase, Interbase, and Sybase – but this hasn’t been tested yet.
Today I ran over SQLite. I didn’t really expect a lot of this “Embeddable SQL Database Engine”, how they call it. It stores data into flat files and pretends to almost fully support SQL92.
I was interested about it and implemented another layer for SQLite in my framework. And, wow, it works! It didn’t take me more than 2 hours. Currently, YaBook already runs with SQLite as DBS. I didn’t encounter any serious problems. Well, it took me some time to realize that SQLite is typeless. Pretty funny, though.
Instead of AUTOINCREMENTs I had to use INTEGER PRIMARY KEY. Even indexes seem to work.
I haven’t done any performance testing yet, but for simple operations it should be fine. For an application like YaBook it might as well be faster than MySQL.
SQLite has been bundled with PHP5. Effectively this means that anybody, even users at share hosters with no access to their server, will be able to use SQL databases. Great!

I’ve just added a couple of “new” (well, actually they’re ancient) foto albums to my gallery:
Irchel-Surf 2001
Streetparade 2001
Streetparade 2000
Romania-Trip 1999
USA 1999 (contains 9 subalbums!)
Also, I’ve updated pictures in the following two albums with better quality scans: Briancon 2002, NYC 2000. Those pictures have been scanned by a Nikon Coolscan LS-40 ED, thanks to Prof. Stucki from the Multimedia Laboratory, IFI, University of Zurich.

I’ve added a GeoURL meta tag and added it to their database. You can click the little green image below the right hand side menu to see who else is geographically located near me.
That’s my geographical location:
Lat: 47° 23′ 42″ , Long: 8° 32′ 6″ (47.3951 , 8.5352)
What a great idea, GeoURL! no?

Iezzi.ch has undergone a major redesign. I was quite tired of the blueish bubble-styled design. This actually is the third redesign of iezzi.ch since 1999. I hope you’re going to like it.
Keeping the content up-to-date should be now a whole lot easier as I’ve built the whole thing with a newsposting system as backend. I do not really dare to call it a “weblog” as actually I always had something against weblogs and its whole blogging-community. But as more and more people are coming up with their own design and post at least SOME interesting articles, blogging isn’t such a bad thing.
I tried to keep most of iezzi.ch’s content. Still, if you are missing anything, let me know.
And the thing in the top-right corner?… I hope you did recognize it! If not, get outside, climb on a mountain and you may see me with that lovely part.

This time I’m trying to write something smarter. As I have just launched the new site design I should also change some content or at least add some better smarter more interesting text.
Let me try to describe myself in some words:
I’m Pipo. Some people call me Phil, some call me Philippo, and others do call me Flipps. At work they call me Fippi and if I meet some old friends from boy scout they still call me Fifi. But actually I’m not a dog.
I almost forgot my nicknames I had back in school: Iezzi got to Schletzi, later on I was called Schlitzi or Schlitz and at the end Schilz. So, right, Schilz = Iezzi. You got that? A lot of people just call me Iezzi. Iezzi actually is an Italian surname. Italian’s kitchen company Iezzi Cucine is somehow far related to us. But still, I do not speak any Italian. I am half American, my father’s from Philadelphia and I do speak German, French, English and a bit Spanish though.
Currently I am working on my diploma work at University of Zurich, UniZH. I was studying economics and computer sciences. Next to my studies I was always working part-time in the IT section of Credit Suisse Leasing. Actually I still do, but currently they don’t see me that much.
In summer you can see me down at Letten, swimming in Zurich’s lovely river, the Limmat. That place almost got my second home, at least during summertime. I do also love biking and am still proud of my strong full-suspension GT bike. Right, now you got it! The thing in the top-right corner of this site is my GT’s i-drive.
Finally, if I’m not swimming, not biking, not fooling around, I am coding. I love PHP and currently I am working hard on my opensource PHP framework for web-applications. This actually is also the topic of my diploma work. Soon I’m going to publish more about it. In the meantime, pls check phpee.com and get a webhosting package on onlime.ch.
