Pinnacle PCTV Pro under Linux
In: Linux
30 Nov 2006I have got a really old tv card and today I gave it another try to get it running under linux (Ubuntu 6.10 in my case). The first problem was that I bought my tv card 1998 (!) – eight years is quite a long time for a piece of computer hardware I can not [...]
Ubuntu and multimedia keyboards
In: Linux
29 Nov 2006It seems that I am still thinking that linux systems have to be complicated. Today I tried to configure the softkeys of Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro under Ubuntu. First I did a google search to find out which config file I had to tweak or what software I had to install. I found a good [...]
Using ssh agent key forwarding
In: Linux
29 Nov 2006If you have to connect to many different unix machines every day there comes the time when you are sick of entering your (hopefully) different passwords again and again. When working with windows I use Putty and the Pageant for key forwarding (see the documentation). On a Linux system you can do the following: Generate [...]
Developing Blackberry applications part II
In: Blackberry|Java
26 Nov 2006I gave it another try and used this thing called Java “Development Environment” RIM provides to develop a small application. I can not understand how people could produce software with this tool, it is years behind current IDE’s. Nevertheless I was able to produce a small program that runs on the simulator and deployed it [...]
Developing Blackberry applications with Eclipse
In: Blackberry|Java
22 Nov 2006As you might know (or could have guessed from my blog entries) I am a Blackberry user. Since I have got my first Blackberry I really love it, I think it is the best communication/organizer device currently available. In my opinion, the only disadvatage of a Blackberry compared to a Palm device is that there [...]
Java technology competition
In: Java
22 Nov 2006Rick Hightower did an interesting comparison between some actual Java Technologies. Seems like there will be no way around Spring and Hibernate in near future Java projects.
Huge list of Web 2.0 sites

22 Nov 2006Wow, what a comprehensive list of “Web 2.0 sites”: check it out! It will take some time to check only some of these cool sites so reserve one of those upcoming cold winter nights

21 Nov 2006For everybody who does not know it: it is possible to show all wordpress blog entries assigned to a specific tag by using the following URL schema: http://wordpress.com/tag/TAGNAME I did this today for http://wordpress.com/tag/vdr/ and found out that there are not many blogs about the VDR. I found hurikhans’s blog with another interesting entry: He [...]
Updating VDR channel list
20 Nov 2006From time to time I have to update the channels.conf of my VDR. On the vdr-wiki there is a page which holds regularly updated channel lists for many networks. I was not able to find a program that allows me to update my existing list with the information from the new list. I want to [...]
Next Blackberry generation
In: Blackberry
20 Nov 2006There is an interesting new generation of Blackberry devices coming up: stuffed with features like WLAN, GPS, Camera and more … see this! Wow! These devices look great! I have to admit they I can not imagine life without myBlackberry 8700 anymore but I think I would not hesitate swap it with one of these!
