Automated Downloading
On Patrick‘s insistent encouragement, I’ve finished my “downloading system”. I use it to easily and quickly queue files on a remote machine for downloading (or starting (Bit-)torrent downloads). It consists of two scripts, one written in PHP and running on … Continue reading

Compute your own PS3 Cell Yield!
Here is a little Python script, that I wrote to compute yields for the PS3′s Cell chip on a 300mm wafer with different defect rates, depending on the number of SPEs required to be intact…

Apple’s “Mighty Mouse”
There is a lot of confusion about Apple’s new Mighty Mouse (which IMO is a crap name). As I’ve got mine today, I thought I’d dispel some of it: It still has a physical micro-switch that is activated when applying … Continue reading
HP Calculators (HP48GX, HP49G)
While swapping the extension memory card batteries in my trusty old HP48GX, I managed to erase the main memory as well as the 512KB card in port 2. I had honestly forgotten how slow 9600 baud over a serial port … Continue reading

Internet in fast.
A fast connection is really nice: I’ve been playing a bit of “God of War” recently and it feels very epic. Still waiting for my “Killer 7″ from Play.com (which is taking 9 days now ). Have also started dabbling … Continue reading

Apple’s Move to x86 vs. Security
I was fairly surprised at Apple’s announcement of their transition from PowerPC processors to using Intel chips, and I am still fairly sceptic about this whole affair. After having watched the keynote, I am seeing things in a slightly more … Continue reading
Computer Solution
Yesterday, I’ve finally received my new computer, a Mac Mini (with an Apple Wireless Keyboard and .Mac for the curious). First thing I did was obviously to take it apart (a little), remove the measly 256mb and replace it with … Continue reading

Computer Trouble

European Software Patents

iPod Shuffle
I also received my 1gb iPod shuffle today (looking at watch: yesterday, actually). It’s tiny (about the volume of my older 256mb USB flash drive, but a bit longer and flatter), works well with iTunes (although reencoding the high-bitrate songs … Continue reading

Dell 2005FPW
I got my Dell 2005FPW today, a 20″ widescreen flat panel display. This is not a huge step up from my old 18″ Compaq TFT8030 display in height, but it is much wider (having a resolution of 1680×1050). It has … Continue reading
Flippy’s BitTorrent Tracker
Secondly, I’ve installed a version of “Flippy’s BitTorrent Tracker”, which in its entirety consists of 3 tiny php pages. I’ve looked through the code and it’s all very straightforward, as it only relies on writing a few data files to … Continue reading
