Swimming in Toxic Waste OR The iPhone App...

[IMPORTANT NOTE: References to “I” in this post refer specifically to myself, and not Panic. Panic has lots of programmers who aren’t me, and no anti-iPhone policy.]
I’m furious with Apple and AT&T right now, with regard to the iPhone.
Let’s talk quickly about Google’s official client app for Google Voice. It’s not the only thing I’m mad about, but it was the final straw.

Wii + Star Soldier R = fast paced shmup joy #video...
Star Soldier R is an excellent (albeit short) shoot’em up, available as downloadable game via WiiWare. Thanks to its two short play modes, limited to two and five minute runs, spanning either one or two levels respectively, it epitomizes the modern day holy grail of shmup high score hunting.

I really like … the song. Did you know that this clip is the official music video? By the way, I am not being chauvinistic here, even gf approves of it ;) Good old uplifting House. It’s incredible how consistently great Armand Van Helden’s output has been over the last years, e.g. My My My, I Want Your Soul, Into Your Eyes and Hear My Name. It also makes for great music...

Had been reading the ebook until recently. Good basic introduction. Especially good as introductory text because it’s short/concise. The subtitle “Tackle Multicore Complexity on the [JVM]” is misleading though. A single short chapter is not going to get you very far in dealing with concurrency issues. — Mustafa K.

If you *do* speak German and qualify as gaming geek, go and order the latest edition of Winnie Forster’s flagship title “Spielkonsolen und Heimcomputer” which translates to “Game Consoles and Home Computers”. Winnie did publish an English version of the second edition of the book which has long been sold out. Used copies of “The Encyclopedia of Game...

I really like the contrast of running in the calm pine forest around my place while listening to seemingly unfit vocal house pounding the headphones. Maybe we should book those Ibiza tickets after all ;) Posted via email from Mustafa’s Blender | Comment »

Shout out goes to electronic gaming aficionado Thomas M. from Northern Germany. Both of us met up in March this year, since he lives close to the city where I was born & grew up and still drop by for family visits. IIRC he calls a respectable collection of Neo Geo AES cartridges his own and has a thing for slick bikes (see the photo). Thanks Thomas ;) See the full gallery on posterous...

Jun - as depicted a trillion times on the embedded slideshow - is getting ready to turn into a partyanimal once more. Now the only thing I need to figure out is where and how to set my priorities for the weekend … Augustiner beer hall or studying … Augustiner beer hall OR studying … Augustiner beer hall … IT IS … after having studied, a little ;) P.S.:...
