Notes:

I started my OpenSource career sometimes in 1992 by coding for TAPPMUD, a Multi User Dungeon.

Some time in 1995 I started contributing to the free Windows Emulator WINE and am one of the core developers, mostly responsible for lowlevel stuff, DirectDraw and all other bugs I encounter.

In 1998 I started together with Matthias Jugel the Java Telnet Applet/Application under GPL license to facilitate MUD access embedded within webpages. It is now used to provide access to shell accounts and also features SSH access.

I've been studying computer science between 1991 and 1998. I was a Sr. Software Developer for the german engineering division of Caldera International Inc., but was laid off end of June 2002. I am working for SuSE starting July 1st 2002. Since August 2004 I am working for the SUSE security team. I am not allowed to talk about any not officially released stuff.

I thought I mentioned it here already, but my blog move to LiveJournal.

A blank text entry field, like a field of snow (cf Calvin & Hobbes, last Panel "lets go exploring").

I find it hard to write things, because only frustrating happens in my field of work right now. Which is mostly due to the basic nature of "Security" which is like Sysiphos rolling the same stone uphill again and again.

Spent quite some time polishing up my openSUSE buildservice presence.

  • SUSE Wine Packages are now hosted there. Special feature: Daily WINE CVS snapshots (wine-snapshot package).
  • GPhoto base directory featuring updates of the "libgphoto2" package currently. More packages to get in there.
This also means that my ftp.suse.com/pub/people/wine directory and my SF WINE packages are being phased now.

One week of vacation.

Watching butterflies flutter over a meadow.

Relaxing in the sunshine.

Reading:

  • "Red Mars" by Kim Stanley Robinson. Strange SF, but could really happen ... The next 2 books of the series are less likely and more SF. :)
  • "Reality Dysfunction" by Peter F. Hamilton. Far distant future Science Fiction Space Opera.
  • "Neutronium Alchemist" by the same. Second volume of three volume cycle.
No computer and no Internet.

Nothing good to report happened for several weeks, so no entry.

Did not get interviewed from Novell Open Audio. This time.

Met my old class mates last weekend, the 15th anniversary of us leaving high school. Nice to see some of them 5 years after our last meeting. Pictures here.

I went by the new Berlin Mainstation and took pictures there too.

While you can now rip your private CDs to MP3 again with SUSE Linux 10.1 or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (no additional RPMs required), I recommend ripping to OGG.

Why? Because the format is free. Advocate OGG today!
