The blog is dead

I had a blog since November 2004 and I have been writing on and off ever since. I think writing blog posts was probably the longest consistent thing I've ever done in my life, besides being with my wife. Everything comes to an end and so does my blog.

Long live the blog

I won't fully retire from writing. Although, I don't enjoy it as much as I used to, sometimes a blog says more than a thousand tweets. I won't maintain a full blog like I used to on the web. I'll probably publish my ramblings using Gists on GitHub or Pro Tips on coderwall.

AppDev Meet version 1.0 in Cologne, Germany. 

> What? "AppDev Meet"? Shouldn't it be called "NSCoderNight" or something?

Yes and no! We wanted to start something fresh and new, so we decided to update the name. 

> Okay!?! So is it still about code and stuff?

Sure! AppDev Meet is about iOS and Mac development as well as UI/UX-Design. We want to 
hang out, code and meet fellow developers and designers from the Cologne area.
