People often ask me what sort of coffee I use. Well, I mostly use roasted beans from Caffé Fausto. Its a small but fine roasting facility here in Munich. My current favourite is the India Monsooned Malabar. But of course their other sorts are delicious, too. The guys at Faustos are very nice. So it's never a bad idea to stop by and have some really good coffee. You won't be disappointed :-)

Do you know the little bar called "Espresso am Markt" at the Viktualienmarkt, Munich? If not you definitely should give it a try! The barista we've met really knows how to produce a fine tasting cappuccino with nice Latte Art. And boy, he has some serious hardware there: a Marzocco FB/80! And he uses very good coffee, too. Unfortunately he only works on Saturdays. But still, if you happen to be in Munich you really should check this place out.

That's the very nature of software, isn't it?

So I am on twitter now, too. On another note I am busy with refactoring many parts of my current code base. Things like absolute_url, i18n and even general project layout need a lot of tweaking and refinements. On top of this I'd like to enhance the site design here and there. Lots of ideas - so little time.

I have to admin that I have not followed recent Linux development as of late. Which makes be a bit sad for I used Linux quite a lot some years ago. Fortunately, however, work pushed me back into the Linux universe. Cruising through the universe I realized that there is lots of new and exiting stuff to explore ...
