I finally replaced my Java based panorama viewer with something reasonable.
I salvaged the parts off my
broken bike
, bought a new frame and topped it of with a
Helios handle bar
to add some brainz.
.. after the shortest winter break ever: Dec 3 - Mar 8

DSLR Controller running on a Nook Color with CM9 is an incredibly cool way to control your Canon 550D.
are you using LVM but sometimes find it a bit difficult to keep track of your disk space? That's what happened with
our
numerous file servers and we decided to do something against it. So we came up with a nifty LVM visualization tool that generates interactive charts of the different LVM volume levels: PVs, VGs, LVs, and it also shows file system filling levels. It uses AJAX to generate the graphs one by one and also supports LVM snapshots. You can try it live
here
and read about it
here.

ranting about Gnome 3? When Fedora 15 came out, sporting the new Gnome 3 desktop, I just tried it. I had been using Gnome 2 before. I performed the upgrade and I loved it from minute one. It is clean, intuitive, and, with the right shell extensions, has exactly the functionality I need from a desktop environment. Maybe y'all just hate it because it's new?

whose picture I took - please
drop me a line

I no has it. And you should see my forearms. The

was cool though
daduke.org can now be reached by IPv6.
thanks to Lensmate, I now have a CPL on my S95.
using a SmaTrig2 in light barrier mode, a laser diode, a Nissin Di866 and my Canon 550D in bulb mode I shot this ball falling down - now on to more exciting motifs

Movies, pannable panoramas and GPS tracks are now included in the slide shows. An example is
this gallery
from California. Now my octo-core Thinkpad W510 is busy encoding all remaining galleries.

Discovered cross-country skiing to get me at least some sun while waiting for summer.
Microsoft once again decided to adhere to accepted standards when storing data in their Active Directory LDAP database. NOT.
Read here to learn what they came up with.
This server is now running as a Xen domain on a root server at Hetzner.
From Urnerboden to the Claridengletscher. More details in
Andrea's blog.
It's +41 76 571 71 05 now. Please update your phone book.
Got myself a Ph.D.
George Clinton played in the Kaufleuten. 4 hours in a row. Without break. Hottest live act I've ever seen.
apart from the XHTML you're looking at and the RSS feed, we now also generate a PDF version of this blog (using FOP).
Windows for Supercomputers is coming.
this XHTML blog is now generated from XML with the help of XSLT.

on my Linux page you will find a program that lets you create birthday calendar entries in Evolution
if some things on this website look strange to you (like CSS, transparent PNGs or the scroll behaviour), you should stop using IE (which you should do for any other reason anyway) and switch to a real browser.
rearranged the pix section and added the Paris images.
next week I will be in Paris for a conference and some vacation...
view daduke.org in different themes! Use the style switcher in the navigation bar to choose between white and blue!
big redesign of d.o - I hope you like it. It's all validated XHTML 1.0 now, a lot cleaner than the old one.
this one's a Skagen.
with 256M, it is just right to be taken everywhere. I wrote this bash script to recode my
MP3s from 160k to 96k for this player.
I have no case yet and the μC software still has a bug or two, but the PCB should be ok. So start soldering on the
project page.
ok, I also think they're quite funny, but some people overdo...
on sat my new server died. Just froze or rebooted. After buying a new Shuttle board and a 1.7 Celeron, I examined the
old board. Apparently it suffered from a known problem: shitty capacitors
spill their electrolyte all over the place. Not a good idea in a server. Check out the mess they made on the pictures.
I replaced my HP618 with the wonderful Pentax Optio S. Now this is an amazing piece of technology.
all my domains moved to a new server. The old 486/66 has served me well in the last 4 years, but now it's time for a Celeron/800, 512M, RAID1, and latest RH8.
and you thought modding was for lamers only...
it's amazing how much network hardware two ppl need.. and that's not even all..
we just got a wireless access point for our appartment. Web surfing in the garden, here I come...
I just moved in to Anthony's apartment. Now we're wiring it, 2 ethernet cables to every room (including kitchen), the projector and the dolby digital system go to the living room. Now we only have to find the time to watch any of the 438 TV channels the DVB receiver offers...
oh yes, and 2 Mbit on the desktop are nice, too. Thanks Anthony ;-)

I'm now back to Zurich and ETH, and I'm really excited about all the stuff we're gonna do in the next months.
Today I tried fli4l, a great one-disk linux firewall solution. Take an old 486, strip out everything except floppy drive, network card and isdn (or DSL) card, edit 4 config files, boot from the floppy disk and you have a nice firewall.
So they've really done it. We have the Euro. Apparently my job at Commerzbank has not been that bad as they're still alive. Only minor problems throughout Europe. Greatest currency conversion of all times. Wow!
Today I'm leaving Frankfurt. The project at Commerzbank is over. I really enjoyed the last 9 months and earned myself quite some money. Berger Strasse, I'll miss you.
My vacation is over. Yeah, it's only been one week, but I liked it a lot. If you ever happen to be around, be sure to visit Amrum, a nice little island south of Sylt with beaches like in the Carribean. See the pix section for details...
I will be on vacation until 30.07.01. As all good last-minute offers are already gone, I will spend one week in Husum, North Sea. Prepare for some pictures when I'm back!
DADUKE dot ORG goes online!

Today I visited the LinuxTag in Stuttgart. Apart from all the booths, I attended ESR's talk on the Open Source community and CmdrTaco's keynote. Very phunny both of them...
Last week, I finished my studies at ETH Zurich. I now proudly call myself Dipl. Phys. ETH! Without any time to get bored, I already started my new job today: I am working as an IT consultant for Commerzbank in Frankfurt. We are doing source code analysis and are trying to squeeze out all bugs in the transition from DEM to EUR.
