Photo autocopy from SD card

LaMi — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 10:55:11 +0000

Copying photos from the SD card of my camera is a very common task. And always the same pattern. Take the card out of the camera, put it into the sd card reader, wait for the automount popup, browse to the picture directory, select all images, cut all images, browse to my photo directory, create [...]

Fixing “show desktop” shortcut (hotkey) in Ubuntu 11.10.

LaMi — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 07:00:59 +0000

After updating my ubuntu 10.04 installation I had to recognize that the shortcut for minimizing all windows to show the desktop has changed (It seem to be + + d after update). I don’t like that combination + d would be way better. So how to fix this? Solving this is a real quickie: Launch [...]

Ubuntu 11.10: A lot of problems …

LaMi — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 09:22:52 +0000

I decided to update my notebook from Ubuntu 11.04 to the newest release Ubuntu 11.10. I did not expect any big problems since I had no real problem with the last updates. But it was different this time. The update went smooth, some questions about changed config files but no real problems. One positive point: [...]

Nagios is dead? No, it is not!

LaMi — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 07:00:20 +0000

There is not much progress in Nagios development - it is visible since a couple of years. This is what it looks like when one checks out the Nagios Core sources, mailing lists and so on. This could lead us to the question: Is there something happening under the surface which we don't see? Maybe one day a brand new Nagios Core 4.x is released as big bang and from one day to the other everything changes? Well, I don't think so. But why do we care about the development of the Nagios Core so much? Do we really miss important features there?

Beagleboard Kitchen PC – Hardware

LaMi — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 06:00:54 +0000

After choosing the Beagleboard as the platform for my kitchen PC project I had to search for the needed components. The beagleboard comes as single board pc without any other components. To be able to use it additional components are needed. For example a power supply, a serial connector and a usb to serial converter for programming the beagleboard, a memory card (SD) for storing the OS components on it and so on ...

LaMi — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 07:00:53 +0000

Nagstamon has been released in version 0.9.5. I haven't written about Nagstamon before, so for a brief introduction: It is a program to display Nagios status information on your desktop in form of lists. The lists are mostly equal to the "problem lists" in Nagios. Nagstamon comes with a graphical user interface which is based on GTK. Nagstamon is highly portable, it works on Linux with KDE/Gnome, Windows 2000 to Windows 7, Mac OS X, and so on. Continue reading to see why I am writing about this release...
