I played with my UNI-T UT61E and Linux before. But now a friend pointed me to a little graphical display/grapher for the DMM data called QtDMM. It looked interesting but it did not work completely for my meter:-( So I looked around and found two source bases, one on github which was moved to Qt5… Read More »
Audio books are fun. Downloading them legally and using them on your systems should be as fast and as painless as possible. But that’s not completely true when you buy audio books from Borders and try to use/handle them on Linux:-( Once you decide and buy your audio books, Borders adds links into your account… Read More »
OK, I spend most of most of Saturday and Sunday in San Francisco @ the local RHoK installation. I met some very interesting people, learned a lot of different thing about software projects and I hope my little changes will make a bit of a difference. I played with Ushahidi, an Open Source crowdsourcing platform… Read More »

OK, so it’s swim season again for the Tracy Tritons. And we are going to host a big meet with 700+ swimmers age 4 to 18 years plus their families. Our biggest concern is to make sure, everybody has updated information so that the meet can flow smoothly without much waiting for swimmers or volunteers.… Read More »
OK, we saw some ‘Too many connections‘ errors related to MySQL in various log files for the netbeans.org infrastructure. The easiest way to fix that, would be to increase the max_connections setting and be done with it. But that brought a bigger problem back to light. We don’t really have a good understanding of what… Read More »
