Becoming-green.ch is another project where I was involved. I was responsible for the complete implementation.
The frontend is written in JavaScript (jQuery), CSS/HTML and the backend is based on Python (Django).
The project leader was Michael Häne who also created the cool design. Thanks for the great collaboration!
Again a new website went online where I was involved. This time I was responsible for the frontend development (HTML, CSS, JS, XML, JSON and so on) of the brand new Swiss Re website.
Thanks to the team of JVM and Clickability for the great collaboration!
You can read the full press release (german) here.
There was again a little change so the Youtube conversions didn’t work. I fixed it again and now I hope it will work for a bit longer than a few hours
I’m really sorry for the inconveniences.
And by the way .. happy Easter!
Kind regards
Pascal
Hello everyone
Youtube has changed the layout again. So the Youtube conversion didn’t work properly.
It now works again for non adult and public videos which are available in all countries.
Probably it may never be possible again to download adult protected content (for premium users) as they now ask for a captcha image while logging in.
I’ll try to find a solution for the country limitation problem as soon as possible. I may have to install proxies around the world … a lot of work ..

The new version of laax.com is now online. After countless hours of hard work the team of Assai Dialog + Digital AG, including my humble self, has finished the website for the Swiss skiresort Laax.
Have a look and get impressed by this multimedia monster

Recently I was asked to create the website for the One Minute of Silence for Haiti campaign in collaboration with Universal Music and JVM.
There you can buy “One Minute of Silence for Haiti” in your favorite online music shop. All proceeds go to Caritas for long-term redevelopment of the country.

Hello everyone
Somewhen every frontend developer will be faced with the problem that you cannot stretch a background image to 100% height and width by default (except CSS3 compatible browsers). This is very annoying if the background image contains a gradient or something else which can not be repeated. Now I will show you how to realize such a solution with min-height and min-width support which works in all browsers (IE6, IE7, IE8, Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera). Read more…
After waiting for a long long time the extension is now compatible with FF 3.5 and the latest development versions.

During the last few weeks I was responsible for the refactoring of the laax.com shop checkout process. The backend is now completely rewritten in PHP and uses the CodeIgniter framework. The refactoring was necessary to make things faster and more stable.

Hello everyone
Youtube has changed the design and the way how it plays the videos. So Media Converter wasn’t able to convert the videos some days ago. This problem is fixed since yesterday. It seems as Media Converter is one of the few website which is able to convert Youtube videos at the moment. There are so many concurrent (~500 at the same time) conversions that the servers are completely overloaded. So please be patient if it takes a bit longer as usual.
UPDATE 15.08.09:
Please be patient! The free service is totally overloaded. It’s useless to try it 100 times. I do not have the time to restart all servers every 30 minutes!!! Try it again in some hours. Thank you!

Pascal
