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. […]

Blender Benchmark Hardware

These days I was looking for new computer hardware and since my goal (among everything else) is good 3D performance and Blender is currently my 3D software of choice, I came across Blender's benchmark website. […]

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.

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. […]

Artificial intelligence on the rise

Maybe you have already come into contact with ChatGPT or even "Stable Diffusion". You really can't get past it at the moment. We have decided not just to watch, but to participate and take advantage of the new opportunities as they arise. For example, we use ChatGPT to program even faster and Stable Diffusion to generate customized images. Every day these tools get better and better! The first image above was created by an AI image generator and generated as the cover image for our news "Sommerpause 2022". […]

Do you sell clothes?!

Some of you may have already noticed: a shop has actually crept into our website. Nicely hidden behind a subdomain. With the release of our Corona Test Results plugin for WordPress, we secretly opened our web shop. Originally intended for merchandise related to 48DESIGN, the offer was quickly expanded to include the category "software". But no, don't worry, we're not changing industries and making clothes now, even if the big pictures in the header of our home page may evoke corresponding associations. Of course, we remain true to web design! And of course also our other core areas. […]

Corona Test Results plugin now with certificates

Last week, we released two updates for our WordPress plugin that enables management and online query of Corona test results. Many hours of work went into these new features, because not only the implementation itself took time, but also the conception of a data protection-conscious approach beforehand. From the very beginning, it was important for us not to make any sensitive data freely accessible, especially in such an open system as WordPress, which is why no personal data was stored on the server in the first versions at all.
