kriha.org serves - or mostly served - a number of purposes:
Allow access to my lectures and papers at the Hochschule der Medien. A university of applied science that specializes in computer science and the media. See Hochschule der Medien . Since 2024 I am retired and those lectures won't get updated anymore.
Inform about my research and other activities, e.g. system architecture . Some research involved virtual labs, serious games in security etc. Unfortunately I wasn't able to document the development of the "Leitbild" of the university - a team effort that I will never forget.
Provide information about my favorite computer science topics which are Distributed Computing, Internet Technologies, System Architecture and the Social Construction of Software
And last but not least to serve as a testbed for xml-based publishing (with docbook, CSS3, HTML5) in accordance with web accessibility guidelines. A description of the generation process using XML, XSL, make, sitecopy etc. Many times I thought about changing to wordpress but as all the content was in XML, this seemed like a crime against the spirit behind markup languages.
