Awesome news: Macromedia joins Eclipse Foundation

by kai on 06/06/2005

This is great: Macromedia announced to join the Eclipse foundation and to create a "next-generation rich Internet application development tool," code-named Zorn, based on Eclipse. The full story including comments and citation of Kevin Lynch is available on news.com. As a first impression from my point of view: awesome news, this is the right move. Even if "Zorn" probably won't be available as…

My wife got her SE P910i

by kai on 25/04/2005

My wife got her SonyEricsson P910i last week. It's a bloody awesome phone and it makes a lot of sense for her as she wanted to get rid of the combination of her PocketPC and a cell phone. I'm annoyed a bit because usually it's me who's in charge for advancing to a new device and leaving my old one with her ;-) This time it happend to be the other way around - but I just lost a battle, not the war ;-)

FAME - Jesse tried it!

by kai on 25/04/2005

Jesse Warden played with the FAME set of open source technologies for Flash development. I recently posted about this, and you could use the linked article and Jesses experiences as a good start!

Pope Benedict XVI.

by kai on 19/04/2005

Following Sean Corfield's post about Pope John Paul II... I just learned that the new pope is a German - after ca. 480 years of absence from providing the head of the Catholic Church. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, which was used to be his name in the real and legal life up to now, is expected to follow the ideas and the plans of John Paul II., so what one might see in the mid-term future is again a…

Saturn: german retailer service rant

by kai on 17/04/2005

Sometimes, I'm really sick of the way how retail companies in Germany try to fool their customers. Brand-new example: I'm going to buy a new laptop. After a long decision process, I'm going to get myself a Toshiba M30X-167. I found this one with a small retailer in Duesseldorf for the price of 1399 Euro. The drawback - store is closed on a Saturday. As I was in downtown Essen on Saturday I…

Risk based testing

by kai on 08/04/2005

Just recently I had to fly over to Canada for FITC which is going to take place in Toronto again this year. During the long-haul flight from Heathrow to Toronto I took the chance to read several articles I was interested in. On was about Risk Based Testing by Hans Schaefer, a Norwegian Software Test Consultant and was some sort of abstract of a much longer and more detailed article to find online…

Birthday presents of an average surfin' marketing consultant

by kai on 30/03/2005

My co-worker Michael who is hooked into the marketing recently blogged about all the virtual birthday gifts he received for his last birthday. He received a lot of vouchers (Amazon UK and US - nothing from the greedy German branch), Payback (the German fly buys), foto development companies, cellphone operators etc... At all - most of it is bullshit - but isn't it scaring how much THEY know about you :-)

Last week I was pointed to an interesting article on open source tools for Flash development. It's by Carlos Rovira and it's title is Towards Open Source Flash Development. Strongly recommended to read!

Cabir worm pretends to be Flash Lite...

by kai on 10/01/2005

If you own a Symbian cellphone and if you're interested in Macromedias Flash Lite player, watch out! There is a .SIS-file around (the Symbian installer format) which pretends to be the Flash Lite player but which contains the Cabir worm for Symbian... This is ugly, so be careful. Obviously Macromedia don't ship that worm in their Flash Lite player. More information on it on f-secure.com:…
