Nachdem gestern das große Packet mit dem Trinus3D eintraf, war die Spannung groß. Immerhin beinhaltet das Packet unseren ersten eigenen 3D Drucker (inklusive Lasergraviereinheit).

Manfred’s tech posts moving – What is simpligility?
The new year has already brought a big change my way. I am now proud owner of my own incorporated company. Check out my website for simpligility technologies inc. and let me know what you think. You can find out what simpligility means there too. Going forward all my technology related posts will be posted that site, so please subscribe for the new RSS feed there.
Android artifacts to be published to Maven central repository?
So I have been dabbling with Android development for a bit and have been using Apache Maven for years. I recently started to provide some patches for the maven-android-plugin and came across the issue that the android.jar is not in maven central.. So something needed to be done.
I contacted Jason van Zyl and then Bob Lee on twitter and got support from both of them. Now I created an issue on google code for the request and I am in the process of publishing the request out to the world. I will track the progress with the comments to this post and potentially further posts. I really hope that this will happen with the push from the community just like it did with spring, jboss and google projects. I hope you will all help and retweet, star the issue or leave a supporting comment there. Lets see if we can get this happening.
Company Super POM – A Maven Practice
Soon after the initial install of Maven you will hopefully like it and use it on a bunch of projects. You will notice that there are a bunch of things in the POM that are the same from project to project. Normally that is where the concept of a company or organisation POM appears. On the other hand internally Maven always uses the Super POM as well. Once multiple projects are involved things quickly get confusing, so lets look at this a bit closer and then get to my hybrid approach of a Company Super POM.
Installing Apache Maven – Luxury Edition
As you might or might not know I have been using Apache Maven for quite a few years now and I have come to do all my development projects the maven way although I am probably not a full Maven maven. I am setting up a new development machine at home after being forced to look for a new job so I might as well write down what I do, since it is probably a bit different from the normal install.
.. and here are the 2009 tweets so far
Following up on my previous post here are the tweets of 2009 so far.
Nearly a year using Twitter – this was 2008
So I found out that Twitter will not keep all my posts forever so I activated the weekly recapture feature on our new wordpress site that will produce a blogpost here each week allowing me to look back later and giving me at least some control over my posts in terms of backing up and stuff. With regards to the old posts I just went and grabbed everything there is with the earliest post from the 7th of August 2008. Not sure if I did any tweeting before that.. so without any more rambling..
Mono outpacing Java on Linux – I don’t think so
So my manager at work recently sent a question to some of our team members
wondering what we think about this article on SD Times and the presented view about Mono outpacing Java on Linux. Here are a couple of my thoughts…
There are a few different aspects to the usage of Mono and Java that can be compared, so lets talk about them one by one.
Welcome to our new site!
Finally we did the switch from PostNuke to our new WordPress and we hope that you like it – would be cool if you tell us what you think about it …
The Mosabuam :)
Time to say Good-bye
After a really really long time (8-9 years) of a PostNuke powered Mosabuam.com it’s time for us to say “Goodbye PostNuke – Hello WordPress”.
We had a lot of fun with our system and we are also looking forward to our new wordpress based site. It’s already running and we will do the switch in the next days.
So if you subscribed to our RSS feed – please come back in a few days and make a resubscription to mosabuam.com.
A big thanks again for the PostNuke team for the last years and we wish you the best with your new system Zikula

Wondering out loud about Processing and JavaFX
Being a part of the Java community for a couple of years now and following whats going on across podcasts and blogs all over I stumbled into an observation today that got me wondering. I was listening to the Floss Weekly podcast episode 52 about Processing.
The discussion on this podcast and the ones I heard just before on the latest of This aint your dads Java about JavaFX sounded awfully similar.
Book Review: Adding Ajax
Shea Phillips has read and reviewed “Adding AJAX” from OReilly he received via VIJUG. Sounds like a good book. Read his review on his blog.
Back on the internet and in the Java world
Wow. After a month away from radio, tv, internet and other distractions in Costa Rica, we are back at home in cold and wet Victoria.
I had a few thousand blog posts in my google reader to catch up on and a well over a thousand emails, not to mention mundane stuff like washing clothes. All that is under control again. Now I just gotta take care of the photos from the trip and our non-functioning gallery on the site. Anyway. It was fun to listen to a couple of JavaPosse, GoogleDeveloper and lugradio podcast episodes in a row. Some really cool things like the release of NetBeans 6, SoyLatte and JBoss Seam 2.0 happened, while I was offline so there are definitely things to catch up to. Good thing we have a hackday coming up at work this Friday. I also have to embark on organising some more upcoming VIJUG events… it never gets boring for me.
