Installing Mandriva 2007 on a Thinkpad X60s
My recently acquired Thinkpad X60s just arrived a couple of days ago and naturally the first thing I had to do was to install my Linux-Distribution of Choice to get a nice mobile development workstation. Getting there wasn’t that easy and since there are already documentations for installing other L…
Conferences Ahead
I enjoy going to conferences. When I was younger, I really loathed travelling. Now that I am much more open minded, I’m having fun seeing other towns and countries and meeting people from all over the planet. Currently I’m looking forward to attending two important conferences next month: OEDEM’06 …
Thesis Submitted
Today I have submitted my Ph.D. thesis “Component-based adaptive Middleware for mobile distributed systems” to the examination office! My thesis shows how the encapsulation of distributed systems middleware functionality into components can lead to an adaptive middleware system that — by the means o…
The Trouble with NDAs
NDAs are pretty common in freelance work projects. The acronym NDA stands for “Non Disclosure Agreement”, which basically means that you are not allowed to talk about anything related to clients, vendors, hardware or software specifications, market strategics, etc. While I understand (and of course …
Thesis Progress
Since May 2006 I’m no longer employed at the Frankfurt University (they have limited 5-year contracts for offspring researchers) and getting time to proceed with my doctoral thesis got much harder. I had to find calm periods between starting my freelancer career unavailable and a lot of everyday lif…
Diving into the Linux kernel world
I never did any serious Linux kernel work until now. I was busy enough with all my open source userland activities and there were already enough skilled people working on kernel things for the devices I own. After seeing how the OpenEZX (source archive) project is progressing, I decided to buy a Mot…
2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ : 3rd Place
The World Cup is over. We lost the semi final against Italia (2006 squad, Wikipedia) but defeated Portugal (2006 squad, Wikipedia). The 3rd place is a major achievement considering the state of the german team when Jürgen Klinsmann took over. He did not just formed a team that is among the four best…
2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ : Semi Final
I have a hard time believing it, but it looks like we made it past Argentina (2006 squad, Wikipedia) — 5:3 (penalty shooting). It was a really tough and hard-fought game and for more than 30 minutes I really thought we were out… until Klose made his most important goal in this tournament. There is n…
2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ : Quarter Final
Germany defeated Sweden (2006 squad, Wikipedia) with 2:0 in a marvellous game — the best first half time I’ve seen from Germany in the last two years. Argentina (2006 squad, Wikipedia) vs. Mexico (2006 squad, Wikipedia) was a pretty hot game as well — Mexico played their best 90 minutes in this tour…
2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ : Round Of Sixteen
Although I should really be working on my Ph.D. thesis, I keep finding myself in front of the TV — watching a lot of soccer games these days. With us having won against Poland, our way to the round of sixteen is free — although it’s not sure which team our next opponent will be. The mood here in Fra…
