This summs it up pretty well:
Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile: What is the difference?
I personally put this all under "Lean Development". Of course stretching that definition a bit especially with the Design Thinking part. But overall a very good approach to good software development.
Why do I think the "Customer is King"-Mentality of some software development companies will create all kinds of ugly failed projects as a side-effects and them blaming the processes and/or developers instead of mismanagement?

My new company Enaweg
With February I officially founded my own company! It is called Enaweg and creates software on demand among other things. This has been a busy time, planning for almost two years, reading lots of business stuff, calculating costs, getting enough financing going to start, talking to banks aso.
Also long time no post here! :( A lot has changed since 2013. I married a wonderful woman, become a father twice, first a girl then a boy! Furthermore, I travelled some parts of the world (Cuba, USA, Mexico, Island, Italy, North Germany, England, Ireland, Portugal). And there is even more, like I bought a house with a nice garden and am self-renovating it, almost finished with that! Also got a Surface Pro and bought a new powerful desktop system for work, newest stuff, watercooled. Maybe I find time to post more about some of that stuff. And I'm now converted from using Ubuntu to Arch which is awesome!
Anyways, nice to post again after way to many years, and check out ENAWEG!

The Humble Double Fine Bundle
And an other great Humble Bundle. The Humble Double Fine Bundle (pay what you want and help charity)
Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition
I kinda like the XPS 13. Good hardware and looks nice. I just checked the Dell site and found the same with Windows 8. It looks to me like its exactly the same hardware, just different OS. So what's the difference in price then?
The Ubuntu one costs 1049 EUR and has a 50 EUR discount which puts it at 999 EUR. The same one with Windows 8 costs 1169 EUR and has a 120 EUR discount which puts it at a 1049 EUR price-point. So it's 50 EUR cheaper to buy the Ubuntu one. But somehow the Windows version has 70 EUR more discount. Which would make the Ubuntu version 120 EUR cheaper. I can buy a Windows 8 OEM version here for 80 EUR. So without the discounts it would even be cheaper to buy the Ubuntu version and a Windows 8 copy.
Additionally you wouldn't have all the preinstalled crap on your machine. The last two Dell laptops I reinstalled even before booting them once. Anyway I really like the XPS 13. Especially with this shiny full HD display.

Game performance improvement for Ubuntu
Losca: Game performance improvement for Ubuntu available for testing
good that this issue is finally/soon resolved. Still waiting for my Steam beta invite. ... but not in a hurry, rather want things to work out of the box. I guess much more stuff like that will be introduced/fixed in the next year or so. Like how Steam pushes things there, will get easier and more straight forward to port other games.

Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) release
Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) released!
.. this is the first release in years I didn't have much time or motivation to install prior to release. Ubuntu 12.04 is a great release. And I haven't seen any compelling new feature that makes me switch. My laptop has Ubuntu 12.10 installed now. I'll post my usual findings as I used it for some time.

Still love my HTC HD2!
My HTC HD2 is just a great phone. Everything runs on it, and its still pretty "current" software wise. The hardware is slowly getting old still, need to think about what to buy next soon.
And it's always good to read things like this:
HTC HD2 gets unofficial Android 4.1 Jelly Bean port, becomes the Phone That Would Not Die - Engadget
on your way to work on the very device they write about. (Only with Android 4.0.3 at the time). And others buy more current devices and don't event get an update to it.

After years of patiently waiting it if finally official. And I'm sure Steam on Linux will be awesome. Can't wait to play my first round of Left 4 Dead 2 on linux. Exciting news indeed ...

OUYA - A Video Game Console
OUYA: A New Kind of Video Game Console by OUYA — Kickstarter
This looks very interesting. Potentially a cheap, good looking device to play around with. I'm sure that it will be possible to run something like Ubuntu on it as well. This will make a great little desktop like that. Potentially also a good media box.

Selling my lovely Dell Inspiron Mini 10v
I'm selling my lovely Dell Mini 10v Netbook. (I have a blue cover, not black) As I have an other laptop now I don't use it anymore. Besides some small test installations. I still love it, its a great little netbook. The hardware is a bit dated already but for normal tasks it works well. Great for Skype calls, Youtube, Websurfing, writing documents and similar stuff. Not so good for playing games or HD Videos.
Specs:
- Intel Atom N270 (1.6 Ghz) CPU
- 1 GB of DDR2 RAM
- 10.1 inch with a 1024 X 576 resolution
- 160 GB 5400 RPM 2.5 inch hard drive
- 1.3 megapixel Webcam
- 802.11b/g WiFi card (not sure about n, need to check)
- SD Card reader
- Windows XP (I run the latest Ubuntu 12.04 on it, works great, Windows 7 works great too)
- has no Fan! completely silent ..
I took good care of it and it has no obvious signs of usage. (no scratches or anything like that) The keyboard is very nice. I bought it for ~320 EUR and I would like to have 180 EUR for it. Also, it does work well as a Hackintosh.
