Welcome!
In the spirit of the web, this page is a little mess, but you may find it enjoyable. (TODO: Put an "Under construction" sign here!)

Planet Fachschaftsumfeld
This used to be the place where Planet Fachschaftsumfeld was hosted, which is now located on Daniel Berger's page.
Weblogging and RSS
This is also outdated. The Grr RSS Reader is nowadays maintained by the GNUstep Application Project (GAP).
- my weblog (2007-now: new and shiny)
- my weblog (2005-2007: old and busted)
(latest entry is also visible on the right of this page) - I'm the author of the Grr RSS Aggregator application for GNUstep and OSX.
- A wonderful article about RSS standards by Mark Pilgrim.
Studies
Diploma thesis: TIFI+: A Type Checker for Object Immutability with Flexible Initialization. If you like type checking, abstract interpretation, programming languages, trying to solve the halting problem ;-), and math in general, this may be a good read for you.
If you're on the university subnet or have the password (I give it to anyone who asks), you can read more entertaining and less formal thoughts on the diploma thesis here.
There's also an introductory article (german) on Objective-C, which I did for the Proseminar Programmiersprachen (small seminar about programming languages) in the 3rd semester. programming language. (Also take a look at the Proseminar Programmiersprachen homepage)
Objective-C und GNUstep
I've been working a lot with GNUstep and Objective-C during my studies. I devoted a small section on my homepage to these projects: My GNUstep projects
I'm the author of a RSS reader and a dictionary application that run on Etoile and GNUstep. I'm also submitting bugreports and patches to both of these projects.
- My GNUstep projects
- GCC4-Patch for the GNUstep backbone programs (Patches the CVS version from 19th of July, 2005.)
- The Grr RSS Reader
- Proseminar Programmiersprachen (Objective-C)
- Images of the orca whale, the GNUstep mascot
CSS-extended pal calendar
One day I found out that the calendar application I use, pal, does not support different cascading stylesheets for different event categories when exporting the calendar to HTML. This patch does the trick. (Right, it's an ugly hack, but it works. :-))
Note to the HTML-Writers out there: The classes of the different categories are named "category-?", where the '?' is to be replaced by the number of the category. The categories are numbered according to their appearance in the pal.conf configuration file.
Trash Can
This is the "trash can" part of the homepage. You can find several useless things here, including rejected logo-concepts for the Linux User Group Kaiserslautern and a collection of ASCII cow images.
