The big news

I'm not back in Munich yet, but I decided to talk about what's new before I get too tangled up in it to write something.

My days as a student are officially over. On Monday I start my job as a web application developer in Munich. After my studies went awkward I went looking for a job, and within a few days I had an offer for a full-time job in Munich. After thinking about it for a couple of days I decided to take it and start working full-time. It's a chance to do the kind of work I've been doing for the past few years and get paid for it in return. That's an offer I just couldn't say no to, so here we go...no more student work Wink

Vacation and work...just doesn't mix

Well, it's nice to be on vacation for once. But when work catches up with you, it just isn't vacation anymore. That said, I'll try to relax some more before going back to Munich this weekend. And when I'm back, there are some big news to be told.

We're almost there

It's been another week with a lot of progress on Ayumi. All modules that actually do something (the search module is present but still doesn't even know what it's supposed to do) have reached at least version 0.9.0, which in my development schedule prepares them for a limited release. There is still some testing to do (for example, I never checked if the common module is capable of updating itself), but in general everything is ready. The UCP is implemented, the module permission system is in place, the automated update system works well, so there shouldn't be much in the way.

So, what's next you ask? Well, after giving this site the udpate it desperately needs I still have a few modules to build. The RSS system for the blog is nowhere near functional and the search engine, well, see above. Also, since Ayumi is supposed to be used on infler.de, there needs to be a forum module as well as a feedback module, which is going to be a difficult task, considering that it's supposed to integrate itself into other modules. We'll see how that plays out.

I also need to finish the language system (currently only one language is available), the style system (see before) as well as the addon system. Modules can be upgraded with addons, which change part of their functionality. The idea is in my head, now I only need to tell Eclipse how to do it. Also, the installer needs to be made available. At the moment nobody besides me could install this thing, as you need to manually create every table and insert all data. It's a gruesome task to be honest Wink

With that, I'm going to work on a few different things as well. I've been using MS Flight Simulator 2004 heavily recently, but I'm lacking some good panels for the awesome POSKY planes. So, I've downloaded the panel SDK and I want to learn how to build panels. Maybe I can even get something done in that area Wink

I finally got my HTC Touch Diamond, so I just wanted to let you know that I'm too busy playing around to write anything useful at the moment. Just kidding, I'll write about it in a little while.

A new phone - already

So, technically my contract with O2, my current cell phone provider isn't up until April 2008, but since I'm generally happy there with the conditions I decided to extend the contract already. Well, there was a second motivation to go: The HTC Touch Diamond. As a tech-savvy person who just needs to have every new toy in town I just couldn't resist. My current cell phone lacks many skills modern XDAs have, especially when it comes to appointments. It's just too hard to keep track of all appointments on a screen of 176 by 220 pixels, especially when the application isn't all that great. It just was time for something new, something better.

Keeping busy (moving)

Well, I've noticed it's been almost two months since my last post, but this one won't be long either. I've had too much stuff to do in the past few weeks, which kept me from doing much online on either of my websites. After all, it is exam time. I have one news though: yesterday we finally were able to move my girlfriends stuff into the apartment. My brother is moving to Innsbruck, Austria, so my girlfriend is moving in. We're not quite done yet setting up everything, but I'm loving it already.
