Friends certainly wonder: Where is Erkan ?
I am taking a break (again). At the moment I am fullfilling an old dream of mine: I am reading a book (see here) together with secondary literature.
And this demands a lot of time (looking up facts, making notes, thinking on what you just read,…)
and I must […]

I just watched the video of our online session with Elisabeth Hendrickson. Though we had at the begin technical problems, this did not stop us: it was fun, we laughed a lot (to answer the question above). We were 6 persons and I guess this is what made the online virtual training experiment so […]

So, this week I will surprise my team with …

… some other sweets than usual (this time I bought a 1 kg package). I hope this lasts longer and I am also curious if they like them.
People might now perhaps talk on the effects for the quality of work or other issues, but it […]

I asked exactly 2 months ago this question:
When was the last time you helped to make open source software better ?
So, what did you do since then ?
I have decided to e.g. help these projects primarily in my free time:
ClamWin -
a free antivirus tool (with support from ClamAV)

Pardus -
a Linux distribution (includes many things, […]
