Garmisch-Partykirchen

Monday, March 21st, 2005

The past 3 days I went skiing with my coworkers. We had a lot of fun. But don’t think you’ll have party there. On friday we saw the ‘L.A. Satellites’ at John’s, shit they were so bad… I couldn’t count all the Stars and Stripes all around them and they played really bad cover songs.

Company blogging

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

Yesterday Felix started the new Aperto blog. It’s nice to see that blogs and wikis really get professional. Wikis are used instead of complex intranet applications, cause they are very easy to maintain and everyone is able to fill it with his own stuff (sounds like anarchy but it isn’t). So your project documentation will [...]

Infinity Land

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

I’m listening to the latest album of Biffy Clyro called ‘Infinity land’. I really like their guitars, since the second album biffys sound is somehow unique, nice clean and weird guitar melodies combined with different stages of distortion and heavy guitars mixed up in random order.

The article is about Playtxt, Jambo, Dodgeball and Plazes and their way of turning mobile devices into social computers. All of them are like [...]
