Yesterday, Facebook bought Oculus VR, the company behind the virtual reality device Oculus Rift, for 2 billion Euros. This makes me really sad. I just got my Oculus Rift Development Kit (DK1) at the beginning of this year, and I found it to be really amazing, even though it showed that there was still a lot of effort needed to get it ready for the consumer market.

I personally don't like Facebook and it feels like Oculus VR just turned to the dark side of the force. I understand that they can use the money they just gained to speed up development of the Rift and to be better prepared for other competitors like Sony, but I can think of a lot of other tech companies to which Oculus VR would have better fitted than Facebook. And who knows what plans Facebook has regarding the future of Oculus.

So now I'm curious what John Carmack will do. Is he going to stay at Facebook, or will he leave and go to a competitor? I hope that Valve will maybe bring out their own device, but who knows...

A small bugfix-release for Task Till Dawn which fixes some noncritical bugs and also brings a contextual menu for the tasklist.

It is now possible to get an overview of all the datasets belonging to a chosen invoice number. As usual, several bugfixes and some slight enhancements are also included.

Expectation...

Reality...

After more than four years it now was time for a new layout on this page. It is build with Twitter Bootstrap and thus responsive, which is an improvement especially for viewers with mobile devices. There are still some glitches, which will be fixed in the upcoming days.

This update brings multi-document editing, CSV export, bugfixes and a lot of other small changes and enhancements.

After more than one year, I finally managed it to release a new version of Task Till Dawn. Even though the GUI still looks the same, a lot has changed under the hood.

During the last two days my domain was parked on sedo. I was unable to receive emails and even the domain owner had changed. But now it is back and everything seems to be working again. Don't know how this happened though.
