Well. My mom always had issues with her PC running Windows. So I thought it might be a good idea to just install her some nice Linux distribution. I remember that KDE was quite nice ago 12 years and Ubuntu comes with good out-of-the-box functionality. So I thought giving Kubuntu (which would combine that) a [...]
I just graduated last friday, so I have now official the “Realschulabschluss” in germany. Germany’s school-system is quite complicated, so lemme do a fast explaination: Basically we’re all starting in the “Grundschule” you’re going into Grundschule for 4 years (starting with 6yrs (age) nowadays I think). Right after Grundschule you’re going to one of three [...]
Currently I’m working on some sort of shipping-system for a customer. It turned out that i was spending 3 days looking for a problem with my query while there was no problem. Well, apart from phpmyadmin But, lemme tell you later about it.
I have a few boxes around at home, so if i do video-editing i’d like to benefit from that. We can use some avisynth plugins/enhancements to do so. There are two things we might do: a) running filters in parallel b) handing filters to another box (networking). The problem with multiple cores in Linux is [...]

NAS seemed to be the simpliest approach and it works quite well. I’m just a bit unhappy that i didn’t found out how [...]
Recently I’ve written about my selfmade dipol antenna. This time I’ve build a triple double quad. First of all the most important thing is: A double quad antenna is optimized for a specific frequency. This means if you got a Double Quad antenna with frequencies from 200 MHz to 800 MHz the antenna is optimized [...]
There was an entry about vswap in the OpenVZ blogs and i love that new feature. So i decided to build my own kernel in debian with those patches to get that functionality. Continue to read if you’re interested in VSWAP and how to setup your kernel to make use of it.
Since I’m working with avisynth I’ve always been impressed about people who came up with convolution stuff, many numbers and I had no idea what they mean. Reading the help pages on avisynth.org didn’t help – For all people who wanted to know how that works, here’s a little guide (thanks to Kuukunen for explaining)
Just talked with a friend from japan and he gave me the following link when I asked him whether the German news are correct about the nuclear “catastrophe” in japan. Very interesting article. http://morgsatlarge.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/why-i-am-not-worried-about-japans-nuclear-reactors/ However, as always, you should treat information found in the web just like you should treat information from tv/media.
