Apple iPad

My iPad arrived today. It will be used as a development Device for my Home Automation System.

There is one downside at the moment: Not all Apps are available in the german AppStore (i.e. iBooks). And a big bunch of software is waiting for being ported (i.e. the eBay App).

Infrared Photo MacBook Pro Infrared Photo Mac Power Supply

We had a Thermal Image Photosession for our home last week. I have also made an Thermal Image of my Macbook Pro. Now i know, why my legs feel hot while working with my Mac ;). The Power Supply is getting hot too... The colors are not scaled to the same temperatures (see the temperature bar at the bottom with min and max temperature).

If you need aditional informations about Thermal Images or other Measurements for your home, see (in german language) www.biomess.de and www.obeloer.de.


Homepage back to simple html

created 08.01.2010 - by mail@uwe-arzt.de

My homepage was yesterday switched from drupal to simple pregenerated html. There is an complete description of the homepage generaton process in the page WebSite.

There is a bunch of reasons for that:

  • The performance of the MySQL/Drupal combination
  • I got daily about 10-20 comments with links to porn
  • I will host the pages on my homesystem in the future (with an proxy at the provider)
  • I have switched to html5 (not only) because the videotag is available

created 23.04.2009 - by mail@uwe-arzt.de

At the moment i am testing if a swap of my current GNU/Linux server running Ubuntu to an Mac Mini with an external RAID and Mac OS X is possible. For that i have created an eibd for connecting with my Home Automation KNX bus.

For a discussion about compiling the eibd on Mac OS X see (in german language) knx-user-forum.de.

TinyJSON and boost 1.38

created 22.04.2009 - by mail@uwe-arzt.de

Today i compiled (link no longer available) TinyJSON on my Mac with boost 1.38. Because many of the used headers inside boost.Spirit have been moved into new files and namespaces (see the Changelog), you need to make some changes in tinyjson.hpp.

MP3FS 0.13 with MacFUSE as MacPorts Portfile

created 05.02.2009 - by mail@uwe-arzt.de

The Version 0.13 of MP3FS ist ported to Mac OS X. The building is now done within MacPorts. The Portfile is submitted for inclusion in the Ports System, see http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18381.

If you need it before the final inclusion, you can download the patch here. The Portfile is available in the ticket (the needed libs and configure parameter are in the Portfile).

It was tested with 10.5.6 on Intel, but with MacPorts it should also build on Power and 10.4 (i don't have an Power Processor and also no 10.4).
