Well here we go, it is almost 12:30 am and I am just back to my hotel room. It must have been something like 10-11 hours of Devoxxing - and that was only the start. Despite the fact that I feel a bit tired and brain drained - I am forcing my self to write the day's review so that friends, colleagues or anyone …

In the last 5 years things have been very simple for me when it comes combining my several user profiles in one operating system and hardware platform. The simplicity and the it just works feeling for the home - power user and the convenient feeling that on top of that I can do my day job, coding and making my living …

It was a fascinating afternoon at work trying to properly address an interesting problem. Always very pleasant to discuss and elaborate with some of my colleagues, like Dimitris Sapounas. Many Thanks to Dimitris for the much appreciated discussion and tips.

It was a very busy day, and unfortunately I could not live update - but better late than never.it's my first time to use ScribeFire as well, let's see how it will perform. So this was the official start of the Devoxx - Conference. The previous 2 days are usually marked as University. Official key notes are held during …

Day two, here we go again. Early wake up - quick breakfast and off we go to the metropolis venue center. This year the exhibition area was almost prepared from uni day 2 with corporate stands. The tshirt and freebies hunting has just began. I got a really nice agile board - and I hope that they are going to let me post …

Anyway the idea remains the same, excellent talks, nice line up, nice venue here we go! My first talk of the day is one of my favorites anyway. JBPM4 in Action ( Tom Baeyens and Joram …
