Nothing new for so long... oh, oh, oh!

So, it has finally happened to us. We've done what we always advise our clients against: our latest news is now exactly six months old! Why? How? What happened? Our excuse: a lot! Everyday tasks, exciting projects, new things – a colorful mix of delicious treats.

RepairGOG-GalaxyImages C# Edition

Last year, we released the popular tool "RepairGOG-GalaxyImages", which can fix the thumbnails (tiles) of games in the "GOG Galaxy" software. A bug in this software prevents some games in the game collection from downloading the small preview image, leaving unsightly gaps. Although we've since switched to the Game Client "Playnite" because it operates much more smoothly, we didn't want to withhold the C# developed version of our tool from the gaming community. Among other features, it allows for the direct conversion of images into the WEBP format. […]

SVG Color Changer

It took a long time. A very long time. The volunteers at WordPress have finally found the time to check our new WordPress plugin "SVG Color Changer" and release it for the so-called "WordPress Plugin Directory". This means that it is now available as a regular WordPress plugin and can be conveniently downloaded, activated and used directly within any WordPress website. Due to the extremely high number of new WordPress plugins, the staff currently has their hands full and it takes several months for a plugin to be manually checked and in the best case approved. […]

We wish you a happy new year!

Reflecting on the past year, one thing is certain: It was an emotional rollercoaster – so tumultuous that we all deserve a gold medal in flexibility and improvisational skills! Between the digital tsunami ignited by the advancement of AI in our industry, and the ongoing guessing game of “Corona – is it over or not?”, we can proudly say that we have all become true experts in unexpected areas.

Webdesign and the power of diversity

Why Over-Specialization Can Be Problematic In our fast-paced times, especially in the digital age, flexibility and adaptability have become valuable skills. Since our founding about 16 years ago, our motto has been "Diversity is our specialty." In a way, we are the egg-laying wool-milk pig for your web projects. A look at the constantly changing world of the internet shows why over-specialization can no longer be considered future-proof today. 1. […]

APCu 5.1.22 for PHP 8.2 on Windows

To ensure the highest possible compatibility, we also test the WordPress plugins we develop with older WordPress versions, as well as on different PHP versions. Amongst others, we use a development server with Apache under Windows. When we recently wanted to add the latest PHP version 8.2.x to our repertoire, we encountered a problem with the popular caching extension APCu. What is APCu? APCu, short for APC User Cache, is a free PHP extension that provides a data cache to improve the performance of PHP applications. […]

Fun and games at work?

The age of artificial intelligence (AI) has dawned, we've reported on this several times. To generate images using Stable Diffusion, for example, we've upgraded our hardware. Our powerful computers naturally also want to be used outside of work, so now and then a computer game makes its way onto the hard drive/SSD. Realtime raytracing, high-polygon 3D models, beautiful textures... we are certainly not unfamiliar with this and someone has to see what the modern gaming market has to offer. […]

What is "stable diffusion"?

Stable Diffusion is like creating a work of art with the help of a computer and data. Imagine you have a canvas full of random blobs of color - that's the starting point. The Stable Diffusion method is reminiscent of the process of diffusion in nature. In diffusion, particles move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until a uniform distribution is achieved. Stable diffusion behaves in a similar way: a random collection of colour blobs gradually develops into an ordered, recognizable image. Prompts Now the so-called "prompts" come into play. […]
