By Ingomar Otter Ingomar Otter, on April 5th, 2011 Last night, I had a dream:
Around 16:00 Madrid time on the 25th of March 2011, the C++0x final draft was approved.
On August 19, 2011, C++ 2011 was born.
On October 24th, 2012, CISCO deployed it’s first IOS release based on C++ 2011.
The included optional garbage collector immediately kicks into action. Lacking hard references, it starts to remove C++ from the internet. It was done five hours later.
All that remained was a historic printout of of the cfront source code.
C++ was ultimately lost as the cfront source was burned to ashes by a gang of rogue language designers on the night of 2th of May 2013.
Then I woke up. The dishes were still dirty and C++ was still there. *Sigh* 
By Ingomar Otter Ingomar Otter, on October 14th, 2010 Gerade vom Kollegen Semler aus München erhalten:
Definition Technische Fluchtdistanz
Wenn man als Consultant einen eher fachlich angehauchten Kunden oder Kollegen dermaßen mit Implementierungsdetails bedrängt, dass dieser schlagartig den Raum verläßt, mit der fadenscheinigen Begründung jetzt an einem außerordentlich angesetzen Meeting teilnehmen zu müssen, wird dieses Verhalten mit der Überschreitung der Technischen Fluchtdistanz beschrieben.
By Ingomar Otter Ingomar Otter, on October 13th, 2010 Hmm, irgendwie fällt es mir schwer vorzustellen das Vodafone Kunden “Web 2.0-Infodienste” in irgendeine Suche eingeben:
Aber vermutlich erfasse ich die Semantik von “Was Vodafone Kunden suchen” einfach nicht korrekt.
Was wird hier dann dargestellt?
p.s. “Web 2.0 Infodienste” ist wirklich hübsch.

Project partners Audi, E.ON, the Munich municipal utility company Stadtwerke München and the Technical University of Munich today sounded the starting gun for a fleet trial with electric cars in the Munich model region.
By the middle of next year, 20 Audi A1 e-tron models will successively take to the region’s roads and around 200 new charging stations will be installed. [..] It will address a number of issues from the data transfer between the driver, vehicle and electric filling station to the power grid.
It will also include a test of smartphones as the central interface for the driver. [..]

Valtech is proud to contribute to this exciting and propitious project’s backend infrastructure, applications and over-the-air interfaces.
May the torque be strong with you.

By Ingomar Otter Ingomar Otter, on September 9th, 2010 As reported by Bloomberg (and padded by Mashable), GM announced to offer some Facebook integration with OnStar.
Beyond the apparent hype compatibility and use of text-to-speech and speech-to-text technologies in the vehicle, this can possible be the first vector towards traction for Facebook Location.
FUD factor: mild, as this is an obvious integration.
By Ingomar Otter Ingomar Otter, on August 11th, 2010 We announced today at the Agile Alliance’s Agile 2010 conference that Valtech is a founding sponsor of the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile). ICAgile is the world’s first skills-based agile certification body focused on promoting specific agile learning objectives.
In contrast to pure people processes like SCRUM, ICAgile certification puts some emphasis on actual practices (Design, PM, Coaching, Analysis, Testing) within an agile project or product development, leaving the guesswork of “how to turn Agile into reality” behind.
ICAgile is currently in “soft launch” mode – full on launch with full operational schedule in place is expected at the end of this year
