As I am in the handover process as a result of leaving Squirro, I am looking at and handing over a lot of the projects I worked on over the years.

After 18 years, I will leave Squirro at the end of October.

On September 27, 2026 we are organising the first dedicated Backyard Ultra for Kids in Zollikon, Switzerland.

Over the Easter weekend, we played a version of hide and seek on a grand scale, namely in the public transport network of ZVV, in the Swiss canton of Zurich.

I recently spent a long day and night debugging a SAML login issue over at Squirro.

TL;DR: I’m shutting down list.blogug.ch and stats.blogug.ch, unless you save it by taking over.

To stay updated on all things geek I have been relying a lot on Hacker News lately.

I have a simple password policy: every account gets its own password.

A few months ago I switched from Mac to Windows.

Over on the Memonic blog I blogged about why and how we work with Python at Memonic.
