Wey.. I'm so unbelieveable tired! But from my experiences - Festival Komputer 2009 Opera stand: Great success!

Sooo...what does it cost?..
- it's free! gratis! :smile:
- No..seriously, what does it cost?!
- Still free.

:wink:



One thing though.. I SO LOOK FORWARD TO COME HOME TO MY BROADBAND CONNECTION! Even if my internet connection by norwegian standards really SUCK, it's like.. 100 times better then what it is here. In the WHOLE convention center they have a 15 mbit line which ALL stands share. And I seriously doubt that it's even 15 mbit effective..! Opera Turbo FTW!



Some of the campus crew-people :smile:



Oh. Yeah. I bought some tshirts as well P: Theese are only seven of them (A)

The Intranet Fridge!

Thursday, 14. August 2008, 11:14:06

, , , ...

Hey!

Long time, no posting. I just wanted to brag about our new fridge in our department. My hackathon-colleague and I have made a little thing - again. :D

After money disappearing, and people not paying for stuff when they are taking items from the fridge, we decided to do something about this. In the first place, we were planning to set up a motion detecting webcam - but that would just be boring. So. Well, we created a system against our company intranet ldap-service, installed a magnetic lock, a buzzer and a temperature sensor on the fridge, and.. Yeah, some sloppy php and perl ;-D



VOILLA! A fridge you have to login to when you need access to it! :smile: So, you pick a product from the menu, then "OK! I want to buy this", the fridge will charge your username for the money to keep track of the balances - and it will then unlock itself, so you can open and grab the item you bought.

Taaadaaa! ;P




If you try to open the fridge without logging in and unlocking, an alarm will go off and.. we will probably add a nagios-plugin, so it can send a mail if the door is open, or the temperature is too high :smile:

Not super tight security, but it's better than nothing :D (and we're ofcourse logging all transactions :smile:)

MySQL for DBAs!

Sooo.. Yeah :smile: This week I'm at Linpro learning more about MySQL. This far I haven't really learned too much from the actual course, but there has been many interesting on and offtopic discussions around scaling, schemas, optimizations etc! :smile:

So, this is the beginning of day two, and I'm looking forward to it! :smile:

Hackathon winners!

Thursday, 6. December 2007, 14:22:46

, , ,

Woooo! Me and quai won this years Hackaton awards! :smile:



With..this! :D Built it in two days with some secret opera stuff (sorry, cant tell!), javascript and some c-code. Assembled the whole car from a kit, and it's controllable in amusing ways ;D

Moveable camera up/down/sideways, moveable lights (following the camera position?), steering left/right, speed reverse/forward ..in any speed! etc.

As I said, I can't mention the details, but its awesome! ;D



Aaaand.. the original project was only a controllable camera without the car.. :smile:



EDIT: HEY! TheAtilla helped us out alot! Thanks man! :smile:

    In bash; have you ever wanted to not execute the line you're writing? Like: $ ./my-fancy-command --param=cow --foo=bar [you are here] You want to keep this but not run it right now. For example add # (comment) sign in front of the line, and return to a new line? Dont bother with Home, Shift+3, Enter ...

  • use Perl::Critic;

    The thing I love about Perl, is that you can do so much with so little code. The reason for that, is the indefinite number of ways of doing stuff. But when you're writing scripts for other people to understand, it's good to have a thing called Best Practices. read more

  • Control 4 Security

    In the occation that I've bought a Control 4 Home Theatre Controller I also had to take a sneak peek on how it works, and what it does to communicate with other devices. I have to say, this is a brilliant product for every automation freak out there. You can control heating, ventilation, lightning ...
