Jonas Genannt

One of my friends searching additional knowledge for his webhosting company:

On this job you will be responsible for 50+ linux debian servers and development jobs. You should have perfectly knowledge about using Debian GNU/Linux as webserver/database and mailserver. Additional knowledge about running servers far away at an datacenter would be great.

Job is available at Germany / Baden Wuerttemberg

If you are interested don't hesitate to contact me. I will arrange the contact.

I have updated my 3Ware 3dm2 debian packages.

Please have a look at: jonas.genannt.name.

Packaging these 3DM2 software was the same shit like the versions before - I was not able to install the 32bit Java package from 3ware.com to an normal debian lenny system.

I have informed 3Ware three times about this problem - they are always telling me 'Thanks, We will have a look at this problem'. I have received my last email from 3Ware on 25 Sep 2008 with the body 'Will check', after this email nothing! But the installer bug is included into the newest version again.

So - have fun with my packages

If you have an string with UTF-8 encoding in your php code and you try to convert it with mb_convert_encoding once more to UTF-8 encoding this will not work.

The function mb_convert_encoding will destroy the german Umlauts. Please have a look at my sample code.

Scriptoutput:



Please have a look at the output: After the encoding with mb_convert_encoding the German Umlauts are broken, but the function mb_detect_encoding detects the string as UTF-8 encoding!
