But I promise to do better. I am planning a series ob blog post in which I am trying to explain how you should want to develop software nowadays - at least in my opinon.

I will try to cover topics like: How to build your system? How to manage you source code and you versions? Or what do do with your deployment data?

But I don't want you to tell you which frameworks to use in fact I want to discuss what you should want to do not how you are going to do it.

I am excited, it will be a lot of work, but I am excited ;-)

So this blog will be used more exclusively for technical topics.

If you want to read more of my private thoughts, which will be written in my native tongue - german -, has to visit http://www.niclas-meier.de. See you there ;-)

It addresses the target audience quite aggressively, but I guess it's all right. The german culture lacks the will to pay for education at all.

Due to my position as head of client development I am very curios about the performance of our website when TV broadcasting starts. We have lots of good people in the operations and software development team but we never tested our system in peak usage scenarios. I'll guess you can't simulate the load generated by TV broadcast anyway. This reminds me on the 30th of may 2005, when we launched the simyo Website with prime time TV spots. Damn, I was nervous. And I really was relieved when called your customer to tell that the website was fine (gimme more!) and they already sold over 1,000 units. A highlight on their release party, which I missed. But I was a scary chicken that day and didn't want to travel half around Germany while nobody takes care about a brand new website ;-)

So, this is the scoyo TV spot:

I'll keep my fingers crossed when the first TV spot goes over the air ...

The blog system is still Wordpress, but a more recent version. This enabled the switch to a more decent theme, which is now fusion by digital|nature. This is a good start for further customization I guess.
