Just a short post about camera flashes and trigger voltage.
Canon specifies a safe trigger voltage up to 6 volts using the hotshoe on their digital cameras. If it’s higher, it might damage the camera. So I have measured the trigger voltage on two older flashes I have lying around, since I didn’t get (m)any hits searching [...]
This weekend I decided to finally upgrade the firmware on my Linksys WRT54GL wireless router. The whole reason I bought this router a few years back was because it supported third-party firmware based on Linux.
Up until now, Linksys firmware has been working great. I didn’t need more than a simple wireless router. But recently I’ve [...]
Earlier today it was annonced that The Piratebay might get sold to a Swedish company called Global Gaming Factory X (GGF) operated by Hans Pandeya, a man with a shady reputation (In Swedish).

From his blog:
Macify me is an attempt to document my first year as a Mac user. The idea is to [...]
I guess you all know how search engines index the web. They send robots, or spiders, to surf the web and collect information about different pages. About a week ago I installed StatPress on my Wordpress installation to collect some statistics about my visitors.
StatPress is a plug-in for Wordpress which allows for real-time statistics about [...]
Found a nice tip for using VMwares Infrastructure Client to manage VMware Server, a product which is usually managed via web interface. The tip is to simply add the port number of the web interface after the server name or ip address in Infrastructure Client. I.e. “servername:8333″, where 8333 is the default port number for [...]
From the frontpage of The Pirate Bay today:
Several news sites reports today that Citrix is going to make XenServer available free, which is based upon the open source Xen hypervisor. Last year VMware released their own hypervisor, ESXi, for free.
