17-year old injured after confrontation at vocational academy

Halle/MZ/jam/Ruelicke.net
Ambulance in front of the Blindow-AkademieA 17 year old female student of the Blindow-Berufsakademie was seriously injured by an 20 year old male classmate after a confrontation at the private school. As police spokesman Siegfried Koch said, the victim suffered from multiple cut and stab injuries at body and face. Also, the offender has to be treated at the hospital under observation - he has taken sleeping pills additionally to alcohol, after his own statement. It is still unclear what led to the bloody confrontation.

The principal of the Blindow-Akademie heard the screams of the 17 year old girl from the corridor in the school, so the police. “As he wanted to help her, he found her lying and bleeding in front of the entrance. The offender, who was standing next to her, had a firearm and a knife in his hands” said Koch. The police reacted to the emergency call at the vocational school at 13:00 local time with a large squad. The officers were equipped with bullet prove vests and machine guns. Koch justified: “We take such emergencies very serious.”

My part of the story

Yo, what’s up man? - Not much…

Yet another week passed with this blog being very quiet. So let me explain why I was so lazy had no time to write any kind of article.

Vacation

Happy Holidays…

…or vacations, which ever word you prefer.

This week I had vacations and I tried to enjoy them. I didn’t really succeed, but I didn’t fail either:
Originally I intended to stay away from the computer as much as possible, just to get some distance and to prove once more that I’m not computer or gaming addicted. At the end it turned out that I spent some time at the computer, mainly playing World of Warcraft and working on the homepage of Thorsten Kramer.

My vacations also helped to come up with some more ideas for articles, so stay tuned for them.

That’s all for now, I need to write some articles, if you excuse me…

Wait!

I almost forgot something:

Matt at Webmaster-Source announced that there will be a Webmaster-Source Podcast coming soon. He is currently looking for a title for said podcast and he is looking for a blogger willing to give an interview through Skype (or talk about some blogging-related subject). So have a look, maybe you are the one with the perfect name for the podcast…or you are one of those “on-air” with the podcast. (Yes, I told him I would be up for it.)

As I’m already talking about Webmaster-Source: Thanks, Matt, for having my blog on his list of “The Coolest Web Designs On The Planet“!

Time is an evil thing…

Time is an evil thing especially when you have a lot of ideas for articles but not the time to pretype and to publish them.

I‘m trying my best but school takes up a lot of time right now. I just thought I let you know before you start to worry…

Web Standards and Accessibility Guidelines used in a Blog?

... published August 29, 2007

Web 3 ConsortiumThe majority of the Internet users should have heard about the World Wide Web Consortium or better known as W3C.
The W3C is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web (W3). It is arranged as a consortium where member organizations maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the W3.

Or as Michael Martin from ProBlogDesign.com described it in his article “Does Valid Code Help Your Blog?”:

The W3C is the internet’s daddy. They created HTML, CSS, and dozens of other specifications that govern the use of the technologies that makes the internet thrive today. Valid code is code which meets their guidelines, and can be tested in a validator, such as the HTML and CSS ones.

I don’t want to discuss if using valid code should be used in a blog or if it is actually helpful for a blog. To be honest, I had it in mind, but somehow ProBlogDesign.com beat me to it, which is actually helpful because I can skip this part ;)

To sum Michael Martin’s article up I dare to say that it is useful to use valid code, or better: Web Standards, in a blog.
His reasons are all great, but I have to add one more reason why you should use Web Standards: chances are higher that your blog is accessible by all humans, especially those with disabilities.

Less known among the Internet users is the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the W3C. Although some webmaster and “webcoder” know and follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) put together by the staff of the WAI there are way more webmaster / “webcoder” who are not following these guidelines.

Upcoming changes…

... published August 28, 2007

wow, 4 Blog news in a row…I really need to change that…

Anyway, here are my plans for future articles:

  • Continuing the Tutorials
  • Adding JavaScript and CSS to the Tutorials, maybe even some MySQL stuff
  • Adding code snipplets to the Tutorial sections. These are for public use and are not a real tutorial although I may explain a few things of the code…
  • Revamping the Review Category. I will stick with Games, Music and Software for now, but I will present a better review system soon.
  • Starting the Review series with some details about my computer and how I will test and review Games and Software.
  • I’ll continue stumbling around on the Net to find interesting YouTube videos or other “StumbleUpon” stuff

On a side note:
I finally had the time to get rid of the ugly YouTube (and other) “embed” code and turn it into the nice “object” version.
Special thanks to A List Apart as they have an article about the “embed to object” conversion.

Update:
I forgot to mention it above: I switched from blog.ruelicke.net to www.ruelicke.net as I don’t need extra domains for the blog and for my main page anymore. As of today the blog is my main page. :)
