The next week in review…
Wow, the next week really is going to be quite a fun week. A training, o and two days of holiday for the largest gaming show in the world. And some JADE programming mixed in. I’m gonna love it. Read more
Hochzeitsnachlese
So, langsam kehre ich wieder in das “normale Leben” zurück. Polterabend, Hochzeit, Hochzeitsreise sind mit dem August schon wieder alle vergangen, das Arbeitsleben hat mich wieder und langsam kehre ich aus der “Cook-Zeit” zurück in die westeuropäische Realität. Zeit, endlich mal den offiziellen Helfern bei der Hochzeit (neben all unseren großartigen Freunden, Verwandten und Bekannten, denen wir auf anderem Wege danken) zu danken.
What an amazing time…
Since this will be the last blog entry for a couple of weeks I just wanted to write down some impressions about this really amazing time in my life.
VMWare going to acquire SpringSource for $420 million
Despite being the head of our SpringSource Premier Systems Integrator team at QuinScape this one took me by surprise. It was a well-guarded secret as far as we are concerned and no information leaked previously. And I failed to see the signs although they were there:
Digital Gaming Tables
I just got sidetracked for a short moment by this awesome presentation of a digital gaming table. After my Ph.D. thesis and my honeymoon that’s something to look more closely into… I’m absolutely awed…
(German) Java Code Camp: Spring
Come to Cologne - it’s going to be fun! :-).

I’m looking forward to the code camp since it will be a great opportunity to do some great coding together. And the evening events also are goinf to be alot of fun!
Movie Review: Transformers 2
Last year during our USA trip we also visited the wonderful town of Lone Pine and the even more wonderful Alabama Hills (if you haven’t been there and like movies - go there! It’s a magical place). While we stayed there there was on site filming for the movie “Transformers 2″. Thus we have to go to the cinema and watch it. Today we did…
…and I must say I am impressed. Really impressed. This has been the biggest pile of shit I have seen in a long time. Wanna know more? Read on…
What a day…
Great day today. For one simple reason: After a huge amount of work I’m through with version 1 of my Ph.D. thesis. I just finished writing the last bit of real content this afternoon while listening to Jon Schaffer’s incredible “High Water Mark” from Iced Earth’s “Glorious Burden”. Great album, powerful track and it just fit the moment.
Short (german) article about SpringSource Tool Suite published
Here we go. Just a short memo bout the new open source status of SpringSource Tool Suite (STS).
RPG Design: Experience for skill checks
For my latest RPG design I already have decided to use a level based system as explained in another post. I also love skill-based systems because of the variety they IMHO add to characters. One issue I find myself toying with again and again is how (and if) to reward skill checks with experience points.
