Restart blog

In August I promised to continue my blog. Sadly a relative had to stay in diverse hospitals from August till end of October and I spend a lot of time there. And during almost complete November I could not sit in front of a PC for personal reasons.

My lessons learned: Do not promise anything 😉

But today I started to prepare a short article and I hope to finish today or at least tomorrow. Thanks for your patience

 

2. Kölner IT-Security-Konferenz

Am 26. November 2015 fand in Köln die zweite “Kölner IT-Security-Konferenz” statt.
Veranstaltet von der GFU Cyrus AG kamen nach Angaben des Veranstalters mit rund 120 Teilnehmern rund 50% mehr als zur ersten Auflage. Wenn auch noch ein überschaubarer Rahmen zeigt dies doch das steigende Bewustsein für IT-Sicherheit auf. Continue reading “2. Kölner IT-Security-Konferenz”

Greetings of the season

Tomorrow most christian people will celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus. Although they don’t believe into Jesus as the Redeemer, the Muslims respect him as an important prophet. And together with the Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in the God of father Abraham.

If you believe in God as the creator of the world, and we have only one world, it becomes clear, it must be the same God. And if all people believe in the same, nobody has the right to denounce an other believer as unbeliever only because he uses a different name (Allah, Brahma, Father, Jahweh, Manitou, …) for God.

And if people kill “in the name of the great”, I assume they believe God must be weak and needs their help. But, if somebody created the world, he must be really great and does not need any help of murderers and terrorists.

I wish freedom and peace to all people on earth.
And to those, who celebrate it, I wish a Merry Christmas.

Parallel 2015

For the second time, I visited the parallel conference (Parallel2015) [1]. This conference gave a great inside into the state of art of parallel and concurrent programming. Read my report online [2] (Ger). I talked about “Java Lambdas and (parallel) Streams”. You may download my slides from this site [3] (Ger).

To prepare my talk, I created a demo project using NetBeans. Try out its great support for Lambdas and Streams!
