Popular Antipatterns explained.

There is so much talking about buzzy Design Patterns. But honestly, who cares. We don’t need MVC as long as it works. What is Flyweight? And definitely no need to decorate anything, this is a factory.
But unless you already found the perfect way to eliminate code beauty and readability, I put up this short list [...]

Studiengebühren, Abwrackprämie, Vernunftbefreiung.

Es geht ja normal immer um Technik oder andere Nutzlosigkeiten hier, aber heute muss ich die Richtung kurzzeitig wechseln und das Ergebnis einer wirklich kurzen Recherche kundtun. Ich studiere weder Politikwissenschaften noch habe ich die BWL-Klausur letztes Semester bestanden, dennoch muss doch erwähnt werden, dass dem Wahnsinn wohl endgültig Tür und Tor geöffnet wurden, als [...]

Still no Java 6 for Intel 32 bit and PowerPC based Macs

Running Mac OS X, i forgot to mention that in the headline. Why?

Because I’m not in love with one language [...]

The dying MacBook: Early adopters fate.

Would my MacBook be a human patient, he would be approaching multi-organ failure. But let’s step [...]

Blogger.com won’t let me undo “Delete Blog”

Well, essentially thats it. I clicked that button, and normally there would be some kind of confirmation. Guess what. Nothing. Just vanished. That sucks, I really wanted to import it here. Really. Sucks. Argh. Anyway, if you are a blogger.com user, keep that always in mind. There is nothing between online and fully available and [...]
