general brain-dump
I care about:
Yesterday was my last day at Fluendo. I have finished my internship and will return to Germany next week. In between is GUADEC’07, which I will attend. There I will give two talks. My second GUADEC and I give talks… not just one, but two! It feels so unreal… but rock&roll!
During my internship I learned a lot (not necessarily about gstreamer, as one might expect *g*) and certainly grew due to this experience. Also I believe to have left my mark upon Fluendo. This sounds bold and maybe arrogant I can imagine, but is true to some extend. All in all it will benefit the free desktop in the long run. That is my sincere hope at least!
The time I chose to come to Barcelona for my internship turned out to be very eventful. In general in the IT-world, at Fluendo and for me personally. For example the result of the Ubuntu/Dell deal went online and turned into reality. That’s a major turning point in my opinion. Fluendo lost some of their - in my opinion - most valuable employees. That’s very sad! Myself, I had a couple of very interesting interviews, phone-calls and chats with numerous people, which make my head spin in excitement. Moreover I was invited to become member of a judging jury for OpenSource-projects at an event in Portugal… I mean come one… how flattering is that?

Carl Worth is going after bottlenecks and non-optimized paths in EXA puts a broad smile of anticipation on my face.
In recent times I had lowfat running on a Samsung Q1 Ultra (photo of device from flickr) and a ThinkPad X60 (photo of device from flickr). Sadly these machines are just single-touch and where not mine. Still these short periods of access to this type of hardware clearly showed me that I could already do very nice stuff with just single-touch, if I would have permanent access to this kind of hardware. I have to find a way to grab hold of one of those newer X61 tablets and a Q1 Ultra! Not having this for working on lowfat makes me feel I’m missing the future.
There were some first MultiTouch-efforts from some folks over at Denmark using lowfat. Super sweet stuff! (Sorry Jens, to not have blogged about this earlier!) *sigh* I still need to build my own multi-touch setup.

How do YOU feel about Fluendo? Do you think this company has what it takes to become a real front runner in the world Open Source Companies?
Your blog is great, I’ve found all your sample code very helpful. By the way did you go to the "" conference at GUADEC? I would really like to know about this talk. Are they putting video like in previous versions of GUADEC? Thank you for a great website.

Hi!
I would really like to try lowfat. After the videos that I’ve seen on Youtube I’ve been fallen in love with it. Unlucky all the links that i follow are broken. Could you publish again the program?
Cool, thanks.
