Happy New Year!
To all readers of my blog I wish you and your beloved ones a happy new year 2008! Thank you for your company.
Home Network for Music and Video
Finally technology works for me at home too
Finally it is possible to use digital hardware anywhere with acceptable bandwidth and without extra Ethernet cabling using a powerline network throughout the house. Network streaming clients make the usual 'zoo' of devices obsolete.
A Java File Server
The Light Development File Server has been released
As the second of three components in the context of file management today I released the Light Development File Server. It implements a Servlet and a TREC agent for use on a Java EE compliant Servlet container such as Tomcat.
Christmas Time, Portrait Time
Unfortunately I don't get to do much people and portrait work. Christmas is one of the occasions where at least the family can't get away without being photographed all over :-D
Ancient Skating
Christmas Family Fun 2007
We took the boys skating today. Means: The boys were skating, Simone skated shortly and then took care of catering and I did the shooting all the way. Business as usual ;-)
Christmas Dreaming
Impressions from Christmas Eve 2007
I like photographs with shallow depth of field. On Christmas Eve I again made some.
A Joyful Merry Christmas!
All preparations for Christmas are done. There is some time for a halt before the holy night calms and unites a big part of our world for a short time. Time to let the mind wander. Time to focus. Time to be grateful, time to gain new hope and time to love.
I wish you can find that time for a peaceful and joyful christmas and that the time finds you and your beloved ones healthy and with new hope. Thank you for your company and support. Have a wonderful christmas!

Christmas market traditions
Every year before christmas the christmas markets open to a broad public of visitors, most local and, depending on the popularity of the particular market, more or less from farther away too. We typically visit the big one in Frankfurt and mostly the little christmas market in our home town too.
Funny Guy
I post another series of photographs I made during our visit at the Federal Russian Circus. This guy was extremely funny. He did several scenes some of which he also included people from the audience in spontaneously. He instructed them only with gestures and facial expressions, it was a fabulous show.
New File System Library
Today I released the Light Development File System Library
I use application servers for various purposes for quite a while now. During all that time it always was an issue to manage files as part of the server administration remotely. Although there are various tools for the purpose I finally decided to build a file manager myself to cover my needs. One component of this file manager is a file system library which can be used distributed over different machines.
Did you know? Today is Night At The Racing Alley
What is it about those black and white night shots that makes me such a sucker for them?
The Clown
Another photograph from the series I made at the Federal Russian Circus shows a living legend among clowns.
Is Java platform independent?
In a comment to another blog I recently mentioned that I use Java for software development quite a while now and that I enjoy greater platform independency since I do. I received a reply stating that platform independency would be pure 'marketing speak'. This got me thinking: Is Java platform independent?...
Magic Appearance
At the show of the Federal Russian Circus in Frankfurt recently I made photographs of different characters during the show.
Cut, Copy and Paste with Java
To implement standard cut, copy and paste for a Java application is a common task in many use cases. I just recently came across this requirement again and noticed that it was hard to find my way through the documentation. I like to add to this with this post as an entry to more details.
Yesterday we finally made it and went to a show of the Federal Russian Circus.
On a grey and rainy day there are few indulgences that top a cup of hot java.
