I am not made for those minicabins. But on my way to devoxx belgium ;)

on my way to @socrates-conference.at - although it is only the second time for me, I feel like this is a key event for me already

@cloudlandfestival.bsky.social is around the corner, just a few more weeks. If you are looking for a cool cloud native community event, this is for you. Workshops, Talks and in between the rollercoaster track ;)

latest runs with some optimisations - green is the controller manager service, blue the game logic - running with 19 controllers at 60hz

Currently i made it work with 32 controllers, but just at home alone, without any players. 4 controllers are at my co-speaker. here is the repo, and some screenshots from the observability - github.com/WatchMeJoust...

Let's see how well my solution scales in the end. #joustmania with roughly 30 controllers, goal is still 42, but who owns or needs that many ps move controllers

I never followed up on the progress, so here are the pictures after each evening. It is a success and fun to build ;)

Short morning run @ #JavaCro - I should not drink alcohol the day before running - I am getting old. - the end felt really hard, although it was just 3k

On my way to #javaCro - 6 hours Roadtrip ahead! As I am not used to driving that long, this will be interesting ;)

Nothing better than starting the day with a pre conference walk. So far @socrates-conference.at has been a blast. One more day to go #Hype

So the night train adventure starts... Sidenote: that's what you get for traveling by night train to most conferences -> kids who also want to ride the night train. To be honest I am really looking forward to this adventure with the kids.

That was the whole trip from the karnischen Höhenweg we did. We had to skip the last down climb. My knee did not want to do that anymore.

After two great days in🇨🇭 I finally came back home with the night train. Nothing better than directly joining the couchsurfers on a Via Ferrata and combining it with a little trail run 🎉🎉🎉

#couchsurfing (and any kind of deviation like #warmshowers, #wtmg, ...) is a big part of our life. Regularly people are visiting, interacting and sharing. The kids love it, because there is always something new. This note is one of those experiences which make it especially rewarding ;)

It was nice to speak at the Vienna platform engineering meetup at @dynatrace.com again. Once again about @openfeature.dev ;) Always a pleasure and as always great questions afterwards. Thank you for joining

First #kubecon is done. What a pleasure, I met a lot of motivated people. Had fun at the @openfeature.dev booth and overall a nice memory. Feet are still sore, but a price I am willing to pay. #dynatraceatkubecon

The @openfeature.dev meetup at #kubecon yesterday was a blast. I am glad, that I am part of such a nice community. Loved the pub - specially the hangman noose for pirates. Thank you!

Oh boy, that's gonna be exciting - my first KubeCon ever, and I'm already somewhere on stage - hyped and scared. If you want to get a glimpse of @openfeature.dev at #Dynatrace, come check out Todd's and my talk ;) at the OpenFeature Summit. #dynatraceatkubecon

Connecting with old friends has become harder as interests shift. Tonight, I’m trying a men’s night with a building block set (Burg Blaustein by Bluebrixx), beer, and food. Maybe childhood toys and memories can help!

What a nice closing of an exhausting weekend. What used to be a mullen wine stand on donation basis, has grown into a Christmas market. 3 days serving drinks, a lot of days for preparations and aftermath. But so worth it, to see people enjoying a good time.

Successful event. My selfmade Glühwein received so much praise - but I "refined" the recipe over the years :D - nah just kidding fresh oranges, lemons and just cinnamon and gloves (max 20min, else bitter) is enough - and little bit of sugar

It is this time of the year, when I love to spend the time in cosy huts, prepping mulled wine and having to taste it way too often ;)

Bluebrixx fun day Sunday with the kids. This set is massive, but everyone can build an individual part, and soon the lighthouse will be ready ;)
