Const ROTATION = 90
Const HEIGHT = 7
Dim n As Integer
For n = 1 To ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.Count

Mein Abschluss ist zwar schon etwas her, aber am 22.07. fand die offizielle Abschlussveranstaltung der Fakultät efi (Elektro-, Feinwerk- und Informationstechnik) der Georg-Simon-Ohm-Hochschule Nürnberg statt. Dort wurde ich als bester Absolvent meines Jahrgangs geehrt (und zufällig bin ich sogar in der Fotogalerie der Ohm-Hochschule zu sehen).

Deinstall PowerShell 1.0: Control Panel → Show Windows Updates [...]
Today I was asked a question regarding PHP’s foreach statement: If the array through wich a script iterates is generated by a function, how often is this function called? In this example, will getArray() be called only once or three times?
$c = 0;
function getArray()
{
global $c;
echo (++$c) . [...]

As part of my Master’s thesis about Test Driven Development (TDD) I developed a Unit-Test-Framework for the programming language Natural.
