- Automatically Increment Your Xcode Project's Build Number
Those of us who use Xcode to build, run and deploy projects of ours have probably run into an issue where we've forgotten to increment the build number before trying to deploy a project. In my case the problem is usually iTunes Connect, which doesn't take your app's version (or CFBundleShortVersionS… read more →
- Writing Custom Alfred Worklows
A friend of mine has recently started automating some of his tasks using Alfred workflows, a feature of Alfred I've been using for years, but have never really thought about using for my own stuff before. Although they can sometimes come across rather gimicky, Alfred workflows are actually quite pow… read more →
- WWDC 16
Had a fantastic time about two weeks ago at dubdubdeesee in San Francisco. First time at the West Coast and I'm completely blown away by the amount of amazing people and great time we had. This post is going to be a quick recap of my experiences along the way. After not expecting to receive the scho… read more →
- On Quitting Facebook
I’ve been seriously disliking the idea of maintaining a Facebook profile for quite a while now. It adds close to nothing to my life. After having loaded the page it seems I am always being presented with the same content over and over. The newsfeed is completely and utterly useless. A few months bac… read more →
- WWDC 16 Scholarship
Apple was gracious enough to grant me a WWDC scholarship this year. I’m still blown away! The next challenge is obviously getting to SF. Unfortunately it’s not exactly cheap traveling all the way from Germany, but I’ll find a way. Definitely couldn’t justify missing this one-of-a-kind event. Stay p… read more →
- Cheap DynDNS Alternative
Until recently I had the pleasure of living with a static IP. This made accessing my Raspberry PI from outside my home rather easy. I could just open the port on my router and hardcode the IP anywhere. After moving though easy access like that unfortunately fell away. I looked into some services lik… read more →
- Firewatch
Finished it two days ago and was left in some emotional turmoil. I believed the ending to be spoiled for me after accidentally having read a sentence on Reddit, but it turns out that was bullshit. Unfortunately that made it even worse. It’s a gorgeous game, albeit relatively short (~4 hours). The g… read more →
- Black Mirror
Blindly following a recommendation on Reddit I just finished watching the first season of Black Mirror. Not quite sure what I was expecting, only had the SciFi label in my head. Didn’t quite find that, more of a feeling of deep disgust with the different shown realities. Interesting nonetheless. And… read more →
- 32c3
That was seriously awesome! My first congress and I couldn’t be happier with it. Definitely coming back next year, for sure! There’s so much I could write about here, but I’m going to keep it to a minimum. I kinda regret watching quite a few talks live and not using the time at CCH to have a look a… read more →
- HeartBattery
A friend recently had the fun idea to write a small script for his machine running Arch displaying his current battery state as a series of hearts instead of the traditional boring percentage. He did so via a short python script and the magic of Font Awesome to integrate with Conky. I have to admit … read more →
- ParkenDD
A few months ago Code for Germany launched. An OK Lab (Open Knowledge Lab) was founded in Dresden soon after, although similar projects (offenesdresden.de) were already in place. Everything merged and Dresden has had quite an active community interested in bringing Open Data to the next level. It's … read more →
- Migrating to kilian.io
I spent most of today moving around my e-mail infrastructure. The way I had it configured would probably bring tears to most people's eyes, so I'll spare you the gruesome details. Let's just say that nothing is forwarding to Google Mail any longer and I'll be using a different address as my main con… read more →
- Pycharm and Java 8
There's been a bug with current versions of Jetbrains products (not just Pycharm, but also IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, AppCode and surely the others as well) on OS X 10.10 Yosemite where the editor screen flickers uncontrollably when you scroll the view. It's been making my workflow increasingly … read more →
- Simple Robot
It's been a while since I've touched Blender. A lot has changed, everything is awesome. There's not all too much to say, but I'm a real sucker for pretty clay renders, so here's a simple little robot. Note that this render is in 2400p, the native resolution of the new MacBook Pro. I didn't want sai… read more →
- Installing OS X applications through Homebrew
I have to admit to having been slightly jealous of a friend running Arch Linux on his laptop when he went ahead and installed xmind right through his package manager (or actually yaourt, but I won't make the distinction here). Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with installing application… read more →
