Yesterday I won an old Mac mini at work, then I lost it on the bus back home, but got it back today. What a roller coaster of emotions 😅

This is the first time where people stumbled upon my blog posts on each day of A WHOLE WEEK! Amazing 🥳

My vision is to work part time as a dev and part time as a writer about mobile app development! I only started recently to write one article each week about interesting topics or my current side projects. Previously I never thought that it would be so much fun to write about what I am doing, but I really enjoy planing and writing these articles 🥳 Maybe some day I will try my luck and apply as an iOS author at raywenderlich.

PS: I would be very glad, if you could give me feedback to my new article! 😁 Help me to achieve my vision 😜 Here is my new article about music and sound effects in a SpriteKit game for iOS:

I recently started writing blog articles, mainly on iOS and Swift 😁 I would be very happy about feedback!

I made myself a new wallpaper for my phone 😁 What do you think?

Monday is the deadline for a big project in my master, I worked together with 11 people for one whole year. Our repository is on a server from university and we use the uni cluster to evaluate our results.
And today the uni spontaneous turns of its electricyty for the weekend to test some fallback systems...

So in Swift days start counting from 1 and months start from 0. Because why not 🤷‍♂️

I just got this book and I am excited to read it 😁

Some years ago I was on vacation with my wife. Everytime we were at the swimming pool, I worked on a really small side project. About 4 months later, I had an interview for my first Job as a developer. I showed them this project and got the job 😁

That’s the drink for me 🥃

Very important lesson I learned while working with Xcode:
Always have multiple major versions installed and ready to be used.

Xcode 9 can't convert old Swift 2.2 project to Swift 4 and can't open the "old" project? Xcode 7 can help you.

Xcode 9 crashes randomly while moving top level packages? Xcode 8 can help you.

Yeah, always funny to find new bugs in Xcode...

What a great start in the day 😮😁

I finally finished my implementation of a suffix array construction algorithm! 😄
It takes about 30 mins to process 1GB of text and uses all available RAM, but it works! 🎉
Now I can optimize it, the original algorithm is 3x faster.

Strange notification I got there 🤷‍♂️

I can’t decide... Should I use my stickers? 🤔

This litte blond one helps me with low motivation and low energy 😋

Some days ago a friend told me about this good site to by the new .app domains, bigdaddy.com.
So I wanted to look for a domain and ooops, thats gay porn 😮
I confused names with godaddy.com. Maybe a lecture at uni is not the best place to open this site 😅

Well fuck you too Swift! Your mother is to complex to be solve in reasonable time!

I think my laptop is a special kind of special ... 🙃

Guys, I am getting married in one hour 🎉

Dragged wrong folder into the trash and realized it too late. About 400 GB just gone 😑

So I started to read the book „Mastering Git“ by Jakub Narębski (*) and I am so impressed of how much more git is than just commit/push/pull 😳

That’s a nice link you have there 😂

Elon Musk doesn’t know what consequences his plan has 🤨

Musk: I‘m putting people on Mars!
Developers: Fantastic, more timezones to support 😑

This is how Pokémon Go shows errors to its users. It says a generic „Error“ in German with different numbers for different errors.
I am not an UX expert, but isn’t this a really bad practice? The error number has no meaning to the user, so why displaying it? I think it is just confusing and looks ugly 😐

I have upvoted good questions, helpful comments and useful answers on SO for a long time now, although I don’t have enough reputation (15 needed to count upvotes).
Once I reach this 15 points get ready for a big rain of upvotes 😁

Look at my new toys 😁
I really look forward to play with these beacons! I want to use them in my wedding app. I will place two at the church and two at the party location, one for iBeacon and one for Eddystone, and the guests will get a message on arrival and departure.
Unfortunately I already broke the case of one 😅
Have any of you other good ideas I can use them for?

Got a new deck of cool cards for me, my brother and a friends for their birthdays 😁
