approximately since forever the default look of a directory listing by the apache web-server gave me the creeps, so today I googled a bit around and checked how to make them look more up-to-date.

here’s a nice post describing a pretty simple way: CSS Styling Apache Directory Listings

if you want to make them more usable with an iPhone/iPod touch, simply add something like this to the header-section of your HTML:

<!-- iPod/iPhone Safari support -->
<meta name="viewport" content="width=400" />

This sets the default viewport to a specific width, instead of Mobile Safari’s default of 960, where you can’t read a single letter…

as always, apple thinks they know what’s best for the user and keep him from adjust anything to its gusto… ever wondered why the photos you sync to your iphon/ipod are completely random and out of order? no matter about filenames or meta-information like exif? no way to sort them? grrrr

well, the filename doesn’t count (otherwise digikam would be a solution by batch-renaming your favorite pictures): no, it’s the file’s timestamp (to be precise, the timestamp of the last change)!!

here’s a neat script to adjust those timestamps so the photos get sorted by mapping an ascending order from the filenames to their respective timestamp:

Man kann in der Tat einiges an Zeit mit Versuchen verbringen, einen iPod Touch mit einem WLAN zur Zusammenarbeit zu bewegen…

… um dann festzustellen, dass der iPod bei der Eingabe des WLAN-Schlüssels (in diesem Fall WEP) zwar die üblichen Großbuchstaben anzeigt, aber im Eingabefeld Kleinbuchstaben übernimmt – und die sind ja immer nur ganz kurz sichtbar, bevor sie durch den Verstecke-Kringel ersetzt werden.

Für den iPod-Neuling in der Tat ein ziemlich dämliches Hindernis… grrrr…
