After having skipped FOSDEM in 2011, I wanted to go this year, especially because of the Golden Delicious stand where we had the OpenPhoenux GTA04 on show.

Information Technology has seen a really crazy year.

Tempus fugit.

After letting us wait for a bit longer than scheduled (13 days), the hospital initiated the contractions.

And now for something completely different… while we are all waiting for my baby to arrive (who was scheduled for 25th of May), she just received her first greeting card – together with a personalized bib and a towel (with integrated hood – pretty fancy!)

Howdy, dear reader!

Rest In Peace, buddy!

Since the last post about my growing feeling of uneasiness, I did a couple of things to improve my mood.

Every now and then you come to the comfortable situation that a client requests you to develop a technology for a product of theirs, which you can then use in your own productions as well.

Despite being incredibly busy due to some nightmare project I have been working on for the last couple of months, I have managed to sneak in some time to update Sid Player Pro to catch up with iOS4’s idea of multitasking.

I’m feeling not too well these days.

I’m now on twitter.

Looks like the freesmartphone.org project was rejected again as potential mentoring organization, same as last year.

After Trolltech dropping the ball with the community back in the old days of Opie unavailable, I pretty much gave up on Qt (and C++) apart from accepting some contract work, so my C++/Qt skills would not get too rusty.

New versions of the Sid Player unavailable and the Module Player unavailable are now available via the AppStore.

Just came back from FOSDEM 2010, which — after skipping the last incarnation — was a great inspiring and productive event.

Due to some lucky coincidences, we got a devroom at this year’s FOSDEM.

I’m fed up with booting my Linux-based smartphones like desktop-systems.

Sad to see that a lot of people are not getting it.

In-between coding FOSS middleware such as the freesmartphone.org software stack, my colleague and me are working on iPhone OS projects.

I bought the HTC Touch Pro some months ago in order to port the freesmartphone.org middleware to it and help to raise an end-user distro.

I just came back from the annual OpenEmbedded Developer Meeting (OEDEM) which happened to be in Cambridge, UK.

Not being a fan of the band, but this is touching me.

After bringing the Sid Player (and its siblings Pro and Lite) into the AppStore, we just delivered a new production, the Module Player (and its sibling Lite).

I’m refraining from any concrete political statements in this blog, since blogs are very lacking as discussion platforms.

As mentioned unavailable, the freesmartphone.org team and community has taken the challenge unavailable to put the FSO stack on the Palm Pre which is out next month.

Something wonderful has happened!

Let me announce the 3rd piece of broken hardware in 3 months.

As mentioned in a previous installment of this column, I’m spending more time with music (and related tasks) again.

Sabine and me spent a week in Paris to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary.

We just released the following statement to various mailing lists: Braunschweig, Germany, 2009-07-29.

Although I kept working on my instrument skills, I neglected my recording studio for about a decade now.

After the sudden death of my Dreambox 7025, the new OE-based device in the living room is a Dreambox 8000 unavailable — simply the best set top box money can buy these days.

I’ll be present at the first Openmoko Workshop in Munich unavailable, gracefully organized by Dr.

From everywhere you hear the whining and complaints of local points of sale that the internet is taking away their business foundation.

I’m on my way to LinuxTag 2009.

We have just submitted Sid Player unavailable 1.2.49 to Apple.

10 years of sound modelling research have just been unleashed: Roland V-Piano.

I have just sent a mail to the OE core team that I’m resigning as a member of said “core team”.

Just came back from Berne unavailable where the bi-annual OpenExpo unavailable was held.

Just returned from FOSS.Aalborg ‘09 where I held a talk about OpenEmbedded.

I felt it’s time to recap the stuff that kept me busy the last months and give you an overview over the achievements planned for this year — always focusing the free software movement, of course. freesmartphone.org Let’s start with the major project I’ve…

Our Sid Player application has been on sale in the AppStore unavailable for three weeks now.

Although traditionally the Chaos Computer Congress’ schedule is slightly suboptimal for me (12/26th is my birthday), I’m going to be in Berlin from 12/28th to 12/30th and will visit CCC on the 3th day (12/29th).

You all know how much I adore the C64 sound aesthetics.

Recently, I have been working on adding more support for various types of modems to ogsmd unavailable.

Thanks to my framework team buddy Daniel ‘Alphaone’ Willmann unavailable, I just fell in love with the german band Pornophonique.
