Back in Edinburgh for Scotch On The Rocks 2014

by kai on 31/12/2013

There are those moments when everything just falls into place. Before Xmas and before I got the notification from the CAB at cf.Objective(), one of my submitted sessions was accepted for Scotch On The Rocks 2014. I'm still extremely happy about that as the amount of submissions they got was massive (around ~160, iirc) and given that it's a quite small event, it must have been a tremendously hard…

I'll be speaking at cf.Objective() 2014

by kai on 30/12/2013

It already happened an few days ago, but I'm very pleased to announce that I'll be at cf.Objective() 2014 in Minneapolis in May 2014 and that two of my three session proposals got chosen for the conference's agenda. I've been to cf.Objective() 2013 as an attendee (Kudos to Gert @ Railo for throwing me a ticket of their sponsor contingent) and it was a really, really good event. To be honest, that…

When and why you should run when someone (including myself) recommends a certain set of JVM settings

by kai on 30/12/2013

This is part two of a loosely connected series of blog posts dealing with JVM settings. Make sure you check out the first post titled "JVM memory settings for Railo (and Adobe ColdFusion) on Tomcat" before continuing to get an idea of the overall context of this series. Today's post is about why generic recommendations for JVM settings are almost every time going to fail you and why I personally…

CFCamp 2013 - Back in Germering

by kai on 14/04/2013

The last two CFCamp events in Munich have been such a success so that the team around Michi Hnat is putting it on again. CFCamp 2013 will happen on October 14 and 15 (Monday and Tuesday) in Germering (right next to Munich). I'm blogging about it now, because I want to make people aware of the event - it's great, very well organised and absolutely worthwhile attending even if you're not from…

And then there was Webstock 2013 (day 2)

by kai on 21/02/2013

Let's talk about day 2 of Webstock 2013. The first speaker was Karen McGrane. Her session was titled "Adapting Ourselves to Adaptive Content". Uhhh - you might think, but Karen's message is much easier than the session title might make you expect. Essentially: It's just not on to take your print PDF and publish it as your "eMagazine" on the iPad. It's also not on to get your layout people to…

And then there was Webstock 2013 (day 1)

by kai on 18/02/2013

I spent Thursday and Friday of last week at the awesome Webstock conference. I'm not gonna go into all the details of what it is, why it's so awesome and why it sells out before they even put the programme together (I got asked the latter by a friend of mine who couldn't believe the fact that there was no programme until 2 weeks ago or so and that the conference still sold out). Instead, I'm…

Seat etiquette?

by kai on 28/10/2012

As some of you might know, I travel quite a bit and I could tell you lots of aviation-related stories covering the whole range from bizarre to awesome and funny. Currently I'm about 2/3 through a NZ-Singapore-Germany-Singapore-Australia-NZ trip and on yesterays's flight from Brisbane (where I was working with a client during the last week) to Melbourne (where I'm going to run a full day jQuery…

CFCamp 2012 post-mortem

by kai on 21/10/2012

Ok, it's over. I'm back at Frankfurt international, Terminal 2 - just one level above where I arrived last Sunday morning coming from Sydney and Singapore for CFCamp 2012 in Munich. To start with the essentials: It was great. Michi Hnat and his organising helpers have done a really, really good job. The conference venue was chosen very well - for both the main conference on Monday and Tuesday as…
