Daily Life: Visitor of the Day

 Today Elias Ramstein, cousin of Amazee-Luci, visited our office to see  how developers work. 

 Unfortunately, we didn't get a live session of his sport stacking skills  (see below):

Daily Life: Wuala at Venture Summit

Last weekend, I attended the Venture Summit, a unique event which brings together the Swiss high-tech venture ecosystem. In essence, it was a 24-hours networking marathon around snow-shoe walking (freezing cold on the "Top of Europe" on about 4000 m), dinner, party, and a hike at 4 AM to watch the sunrise from the Lauberhorn.

Thanks a lot to the organizers Jordi and Beat from venturelab and IFJ and also the sponsors Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Gebert Rüf Stiftung. Count on me, I'll be back at Venture Summit 2010.

Read a longer review on Amazee or on SwissStartups.com and check out some photos in the Venture Summit group in Wuala.

Developer Zone: Jazoon Recap

Last week Luzius held a presentation about Wuala Webstart at Jazoon09 - the international conference on Java technology.

In the meantime, I've stumbled across two blog postings and a tweet summarizing his presentation:

Summary: This short talk was a little confusing to follow until I realised that I was hearing about two technologies: (a) Wuala – the offline file storage solution; (b) The unique webstart implementation – which was developed in order to improve Wuala’s quality. Nevertheless, I found it quite interesting to learn of the existence of Wuala… 20 minutes well spent.

And last, but not least, some notes written by Roland Carr: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/haroldcarr/archive/2009/06/notes_from_thur_1.html
