Gory Xmas 2008: Hawthorne KIA
Report from the front. We’re closing in on Daedelus position. Hawthorne didn’t make it. Guess it’s just a matter of time until German officials have Resistance 2 taken off store shelves … — Mustafa K.

Another busy day at the Apple Store ...
My personal take on lolcats … P.S.: For those who are having trouble separating truth from comic bubbles, she works at the Apple Store Munich and didn’t really think this. I know because I can read minds … yes, works over the Internet too … stop thinking that … phew, you perv! Posted via email from Mustafa’s posterous | Comment »
Buddies asking for Xmas Ideas #1: Books on TDD...
A buddy asked me for a couple of quick recommendations for some easy vacation reading on unit testing and TDD.
IMHO there is an incredible amount of bad books on the topic floating around. It’s seems so as if every second B-class author feels tempted to put together a book on the topic - probably due to the matter and the interfaces as made popular by JUnit being very approachable. My...
Sins of the Gaming Industry #1: Never to release...
I picked the Snatcher Intro tune for our game music contest in Games und so episode #76. Losing myself in memories of repeatedly giving in to the pull of the greatest cyberpunk adventure - don’t even think of arguing here ;) - year after year, brought back the pain of hoping for Policenauts. The latter is considered the sequel to Snatcher due to it also being the brainchild of Hideo...
It's here: Justice - A Cross The Universe
Finished watching the documentary something like half an hour ago. Liked it a lot. Our little household is still busy trying to figure out how much of the behind-the-scenes stuff, i.e. pretty much the whole thing, is authentic. I’m not referring to the easy-to-have groupie chicks, that part is obvious to anybody who has done his fair share of club and event work. It’s rather the...
Batch of photos "Bits und so" fans have taken of...
We all had a great time meeting up with fans at the Apple Store opening yesterday. An impressive number of store employees turned out to be “Bits und so” listeners as well, which made us extra happy. Since we more or less completely missed out on signing up for an official press invitation beforehand, it looked like we’d have to get in line like everybody else and wait for...

Grotesque scenes 5 minutes to Apple Store Munich...
They are applauding and cheering “München, München”. Kool-aid river in the back? — Mustafa K. Isik http://codesurgeonblog.com Sent from my iPhone Posted via email from Mustafa’s posterous | Comment »
Free Public WiFi
jstn:
Have you seen this wireless network? I see it *everywhere*, and it’s so suspicious because it’s always ad-hoc (meaning broadcasting from a computer rather than a regular access point). I imagined for a long time it was part of a virus; it waits for someone to connect, redirects to a page that exploits some hole in Internet Explorer, scrapes your hard disk and sends your social security...
Last minute preparations at Apple Store Munich
After watching the latest Woody Allen movie, Kati and I wandered over Munich’s Marienplatz on our way home. Look at what we spotted, the Apple Store Munich covers are gone and the store team is busy getting everything ready for tomorrow’s grand opening. As those interested probably already know, all of us - that is the Bits und so crew - will be there to witness the first German...
