Remember TimTim? I haven’t worked on it for a while but I noticed some issues on the Galaxy Nexus I got earlier this month. While I was at it, I ended up fixing a couple of other issues, here’s the change log: Improved rotation algorithm. Fixed alarm/vibration issues on Android 4.0 and 4.1. Added xhdpi [...]

Flurfunk, the Twitter-like service for team communication we have been developing and using at Viaboxx for a bit more than a year is now open source. It doesn’t matter if you only want to use it, but it is written in Clojure and ClojureScript, so if you’re looking for a non-trivial Clojure/ClojureScript web application, check it out.

So this is it, my last week at Viaboxx. I’ll really miss them, more than any other company I’ve worked for. I had a great time, a great team and learned a whole lot. If you’re looking for a fine company to work for in the Cologne/Bonn area: they’re hiring to replace me. You can drop [...]

In the past few weeks, I’ve been working on my first Android app: A kitchen timer named TimTim. It’s not exactly rocket science, but I was looking for something simple to explore the Android platform and see how the Market works. I also wanted to push this all the way through to the polish phase [...]

As my Bachelor thesis at The Open University, I investigated the possibility of using unit test cases to define fitness functions in genetic programming. More precisely, I wanted to see whether GP could benefit from the practices of test-driven development. So I bought a huge book and a small book and began. My plan was [...]

I finally found the time to move my old, self-hosted, spam-infested Wiki on using alternative operating systems with The Open University (used to be at open.homelinux.org) to Wikia. Behold Open Open University Wiki. It looks a bit crappy (Wikia’s templates aren’t that good and I personally drew the logo), but it covers all applications used [...]

My website has been a lame to be replaced soon ASCII file for a couple of years now. Today, I’m finally relaunching my old design, although with much less content than there used to be. I might re-add a list of my projects at some point in the future, but since I constantly refused to update [...]
