He mentioned a new class of bugs too: Some code that created 240 XL (approx. 1900+ standard) instances :D Their worker instances are supposedly totally autonomous, let’s see what else he reveals about those. Refers to their EC2 usage as SkyNet, there’s some early 90s geekiness for you ;) On another note, they store 1PB+ on S3. — Mustafa K. Isik ...

Only in the US: Glucose-grease-fest for breakfast...
French Toast, stuffed with sweet cream cheese, topped with sugarwater-soaked strawberries, syrup and whipped cream. Yep, this is what I had for breakfast at diner chain International House of Pancakes (IHOP) this morning ;) Posted via email from Mustafa’s Blender | Comment »
Sam & Max made it to #eclipsecon, despite clashing...
I had my Sam & Max statue sent to Rob K. on the East Coast, planning to pick it up on one of my US trips. With both of us being at EclipseCon this year, it seemed to be a convenient occasion to transfer the Freelance Police duo. Traveling with the statue proved to be a little more difficult than assumed though - with Max’ gun setting off the TSA alarm bells :) — Mustafa K....

Quick coffee then it's off to the airport
Will I ever get on an intercontinental flight where I’ve had more than four hours of sleep? Last minute packing. FTL. On the other hand, going back to CA and meeting up with friends.

Last night, after recording the latest episode of our German tech podcast Bits und so, the crew gathered around the studio console rig to beat up each other in Capcom’s stellar Street Fighter IV. Most of us own a private copy of the title for either Xbox 360 (@dasgenie and I) or PS3 (@iPhoneBlog and @emonk_net). Having played with the Xbox 360 controller - until recently, that is...

Black Angus Beef Burger - Dinner with Friends
Three physician friends turned CWO-4 for the German military, visiting Munich for training, and I just had a fairly substantial dinner: Puck’s €15 Black Angus Beef burger Mind you, two of the officers are pretty petite ladies. Today’s set of physical exercises was supposedly very demanding :) — Mustafa K. Isik http://codesurgeonblog.com Sent from my iPhone Posted via...

A starving mind does not negotiate well ...
… or so, they say, don’t they? ;) Over the last two weeks, I’ve tried to schedule meetings well before and after lunch time. I suppose that the recent developments concerning the family business would have been harder to cope with otherwise. Tomorrow will be a very important day in that respect. Let’s hope that our plans and deals with various stakeholders of the...
