A special for Alex...

by kai on 29/09/2004

Couldn't resist... Alex is a pug lover ;) and as I watched the most recent series of German "Popstars" tonight I found this. It's a photography of my TV screen captured with the cam of my cell phone. This quiz question to win is:

What type of dog is this?

a) St Bernard
b) pug

Alex, do you know the answer? I expect a post about the differences between pugs and St Bernards in your blog for tonight or tomorrow.

Do you need a job in the Munich area?

by kai on 28/09/2004

A friend of mine working for a MM-related web development company asked me to post this. They are looking for an experienced and well-performing web developer for highend and complex CF and J2EE projects. They'd like to hire someone permanently and are located in the near Munich area. I post this at this place because they don't care from where you come from, but very good Englisch language…

Certified Flex Instructor

by kai on 24/09/2004

I'm a Macromedia Certified Flex Instructor now. After working with the class materials - by the way: the class is called "Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex" and it's a 3-day class - I'm very happy with it. It's a great course and it will give the students a brilliant introduction into Flex development models. Want to take a class with me? I'm still trying to separate this…

Airport chaos

by kai on 24/09/2004

During the last days I was on the road to deliver a ACFD class at a customer in Hamburg and after that I went down to Zurich and Munich to speak about Flex during the LogOn InfoDays Java.
