Bad sleep or poor quality will do you in. Don’t go down that path. LLAP

Parking on “P52” is free for up to 30 minutes. Then they charge 2€ for up to 2h I guess. Getting up the hill is another 1€ per nose. Not too bad. Supposedly this place is open 24/7. Stairway to...

It’s free !!! Communication charges may apply. Oh, well… AOL4.0 PDF (450kb) But wait, there’s more! Genuine Windows95 (with USB support !!! Wow !!!) I didn’t even bother to pixelize the numbers. NOBODY in their right mind will use this...

As You can see, there’s nothing of interest here. This post was cancelled due to lack of material & motivation. Please proceed to the next post in this mini-series. If you’re a user of headphones, you may want to turn...

This “beauty” appeared on my desk today. Just testing & playing with it. I used the arb sig-gen of a PicoScope 2204A for generating a unpleasant test-signal. Trying to trigger on it was “interesting” :-) But before all of that...

Well… the device I got at work was a sad case of “dead on arrival”. Temperature regulation was totally crazy, touching the case moved the measured value from about 350°C to 60°C, with a subsequent massive overshoot. So we have...

Since I hear the effing aircrafts all the time, I might as well go and take a closer look at them, no? An impromptu Sunday trip to ‘MUC’ (or FJS). A complete failure! I didn’t get to photograph any planes...

Still busy with stuff. BUT, there is a functional dishwasher! What a great device !!!

Moving == carrying heavy boxes, lots of them. Suboptimal. Getting rid of stuff is imperative! If You’re so inclined, You’ll find sloppy teardowns of 3 devices below. Mostly images and a bit of video footage at the end. 1) DNT...

To make one thing clear, I was looking for a book describing the concept, methodology and application of “Six Sigma”. So you now know my expectations: facts, recipes, some math & statistics primer, NOT a lot of prosa / wall...

Expectations. When buying a cheap device, I don’t expect a display with “Retina” quality, but it should still be usable and not something the engineers who designed it have to be ashamed about. It shouldn’t be a piece of shit...

When I got home today at about 5pm or so, I smelled the characteristic BBQ smell. Burning wood. Quite A LOT of burning wood. Very odd, or at least very unusual for this neighbourhood. Upon entering the staircase the smell...

Shooting in Munich. As of now (2016-07-22 20:12 CET) not much is known about how many were hurt or killed. The media are going crazy. ENOUGH! 9

The documentation is very usable, easy to understand. Getting the basic things going is very easy. The code is on github. It’s worth taking a look and having a go at it! You do know that you NEED a backup,...

Some time ago I wrote about said paper. To be more precise, I didn’t write about the science per se (not my area of expertise), but I wrote about having had noticed an error in it. I tried to get...

A small but helpful upgrade, if you’re into acquiring your own temperature calibration data. At some undetermined time in the future this might be expanded to a full multi-point calibration mode. The config menu was amended with the parameter ‘display_adc_raw’....

I’m glad to announce that the annoying watchdog issue has finally been fixed. It was a dumb error on my side, combined with a prevalence in some ATmega chips to have certain binary values in uninitialized registers after a cold...

I case you haven’t noticed yet, TWITTER IS DOWN, oh no! First I suspected my friggin’ Android-Tablet, as usual (and rightly so). It is slow and crash-happy, I suspect very poor quality FLASH-memory (IOWAIT is insanely high, fstrim doesn’t do...

PBFComics – RESET

The year twenty-fifteen has had a lot in stock for me and my family, both near and far. There was death, illness, strenuous recovery, unexpected relapse, and much other crap nobody really wants nor needs. “A bit much” you could...
