Das Xperia Active ist mein erstes Android Handy. Davor hatte ich zwei relativ ähnliche Sony Ericsson (K750i und C510) die beide leicht, klein und ziemlich robust waren. Für mich ist ein Handy ein Gebrauchsgegenstand der nur eine begrenzte Zeit halten muss und um den ich mir keine Sorgen machen will wenn es regnet oder ich [...]
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. This wisdom is only partially true for most modern devices, thanks to firmware updates. I’ve briefly mentioned having used a “hacked” firmware for the past few months. This weekend, contemplating whether and when to buy a new camera body, I decided to see if there have been [...]
Careful readers should have noticed that I talked about having finished my Computer Science studies recently. Now, there are several steps to the process. First you simply hand in your diploma thesis, meaning that you’re done working on it. At some point, if you need it, you can get a slip which confirms that you [...]
My last post was about the photographic year 2010 and this is barely any different. I hope to blog about something substantial very soon, seeing as I’m done with my Diploma Thesis now, but in the meantime enjoy the photos and the comments. I completed my first long hike this year in February. It was [...]
It’s a good thing I waited a few days before releasing my next ALIX-post. I was gonna talk about the leds-alix module and where to download it, but in the meantime 2.6.35 was released and already contains all the necessary code. So, besides this post there is a new config: Linux 2.6.35 vanilla for ALIX [...]
I desperately needed a new toy, and found the perfect match with the ALIX 2D13 board from Swiss manufacturer PCEngines. I’ve had good experiences with the WRAP-board more than four years ago, so I knew about the quality of their products. This post should serve as a quick introduction and point out some caveats if [...]
Believe it or not, this photo was taken about 2km from my parents home, from the dam of the Eschbachtalsperre, a dam for providing the region with drinking water. Usually I just jog around the lake in the morning, but last weekend Katrin and I discovered one of multiple hiking routes around it and the [...]
I’ve been keeping track of my CCed photos for a while now, updating the list of people that use my flickr-photos on a regular base. Today I did another round, simply by googling “heipei flickr”. Not surprisingly I came up with about 12 new websites and blogs. And I’m happy that people are discovering my [...]
Heute haben Flo und ich unser UROP-Projekt erfolgreich beendet. Da ich, von allen Leuten mit denen ich in den letzten paar Monaten gesprochen habe, niemanden gefunden hab der überhaupt von UROP gehört hatte werde ich versuchen diese Lücke mit einem Blogpost ein wenig zu schließen. Die Details unseres Projekts werde ich ggf. in einem späteren [...]
Nach einer Menge Posts über anderen Kram und neidischen Blicken zu Flos aufgeräumter Studiumsseite wollte ich mal noch ein paar Dokumente aus den letzten Semestern aus dem Schrank holen. Vielleicht hilft es ja dem ein oder anderen Studieninteressenten der sich nicht vorstellen kann was man überhaupt so während seines Informatikstudiums macht. Seminare Seminare bei uns [...]
