Tables

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Building two low cost large dimension tables (3m length each) out of roof battens with ~400 screws invisibly in between. A nice deviation in hardware building from daily software.

In collaboration with Mereo. Original concept by Lorenz Kocher.

MacBook Alu Problems

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Having worked a week with a new MacBook I have noted a few downsides over previous models:

  • Yes, the display does have too much reflection. Way too much.
  • Keyboard is missing the number keypad available accessible with fn key. Miss it a lot.
  • Can no longer connect my Firewire drives. Missing Target Disk Mode.
  • Yet another properietary display connector.
  • Some DVD medias cannot be read at first and must be inserted several times until the volume is mounted.
  • Update: Broken video signal to external display after display awakes from sleep is common. Also with an external display attached, the Macbook does sometimes not properly awake from sleep.
  • Update: Command-Ctrl Power does no longer restart the Mac. Had already two complete freezes since upgrading to 4GB Kingston Memory. I have now replaced the memory kit and the machine is running smoothly since.

Patent Search

Friday, December 15th, 2006

I just discovered the great new Google Patent Search. I hope I don’t get sued by IBM because of the “Method and system for a user interface for remote FTP hosts” patent.

Update on Vienna

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

I finally managed to merge the current trunk of Vienna into my prototype branch for some experiments with the user interface, especially moving away from the metal look. You can download a snapshot of this prototype build here. Please note that this build is not official at all, has had only very limited testing and is not meant for daily use!

Sources confirm plans for a smaller, ultra-thin form factored MacBook Pro

I would buy one on the first day released to replace my current 12inch PB.
