Thank you Mark :-)

Without your patience and guidance, none of this would have been possible. You are one of the most important mentors in my life, and I’m deeply grateful for everything you’ve done for me. I know who I was and how much your support helped me grow. Not only as a developer but as a human.

Thank you very much :)

Thanks Eberhard :)

Thanks Régina :-)

Thanks Gerrit!

Will do :-)

Today, I was awarded the title of Java Champion!

It’s a huge honor, and I’m grateful for everyone I’ve met in the Java universe, especially those who taught me how to code. I’m feeling happy and a little proud. 😊

Wow, thanks, Andres, for the welcome and the update to the repo

Thanks Jorge!

Thank you Thomas :)

Thanks Johan!

Thank you Markus. It's an honor!

Thanks Oliver. It's all your fault! ;-)

Thank you Eric :-)

Thank you Simon :-)

Thank you!

I guess you could say I am a power user now. However, some recommendations make my writing worse, not better.

Gute Besserung!!

You are right but in this case it is Matcha- next level chocolate!

It feels good when something is finished, and I just finished the article for the new Javapro magazine. It's about the history of #Log4j. Proud of it. Needed a lot of chocolate. Not from #Java though, but #Japan :)

I have been sick all of 2025, but I am getting my medicine today. I am starting new #Java training. These always lift my mood! I'm looking forward to it!

Looks like some contracts were canceled this year. Which means I finally have time to work on my #java training website again 😊👍

Cool. Das könnte ich ja fast schaffen!

I am sorry here is the corrected link: github.com/grobmeier/as...

I came to like Asciidoc. I wrote a small docker container to help build my files: github.com/grobmeier/gr.... It's not creating a print-ready PDF, but it works for my purposes. I can also speak good of Leanpub (as suggested).

Beautiful!

This year is the year! After log4shell hit, I started again with #Java and #OpenSource related public talks. I want to take this more seriously and plan to travel through Germany and visit JUGs or conferences. Usually, I travel at my own expense to attend community talks. Feel free to get in touch.

I grew up without books. No stories. No beautiful words. No education. At 16, I started to learn, and my now-wife, at 20, gave me her books. Today, at 46, it still hurts to look back. I am angry. My road was hard, far too hard. No one should have to walk on it.
