rocu.de, my personal website, is turning 22 this year.

2001 I started building websites using HTML, images and state-of-the art table layouts.

The web has come a long way since then and during the last 15 years I have build complex web-applications for a living - mostly using PHP and Ruby on Rails.

I had my first Aikido training yesterday, and I must say, the movements seem to be quite challenging to learn. I am looking forward to delving deeper into the practice during my next session on Friday.

I really enjoy playing Octopath Traveler II, a classic JRPG, that reminds me of the games of my childhood.

Despite looking old on first glance, the 2.5D art style, the story and the voice acting are really superb. This is really an AAA game in my opinion!

A few weeks ago, I resigned from my current job. I am delighted about it! I finally will being an independent programmer again. The pay-check will not be safe โ€“ but I will have a lot more freedom to write great software.

Finished reading Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr.

I really enjoyed reading this very creative book. It involves a public library, the love for ancient Greece and nature, some science fiction and a hand full of great protagonists.
