Last week I have been in Barcelona at the KDevelop / Kate sprint with all the other nice people working on those projects. As always, it was very cool to meet everyone again and spend a week together improving software. A big thanks to the organizers and sponsors, too! In the following, I want to give a quick summary of those. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Linux, Games, Programming, and some other random stuff. Saturday, August 30, 2014. 14204 MHz Hydrogen line: There it is! With a reasonably simple setup, I finally succeeded in detecting the 1420.4 MHz galactic hydrogen hyperfine structure line:. Dish with mounted feed (for the latter, see text and pictures below). Since you obviously cannot simply attach a coaxial cable to a parabolic dish reflector, a so-called feed. The complete setup. With chairs to prevent people from tripping over the wires....Start...

Linux, Games, Programming, and some other random stuff. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Project: Detecting the 1420.4MHz hydrogen line - status report. First thing you need is an antenna. For this purpose, I built a 14-element Yagi antenna, as seen below. 14-element 1.4GHz Yagi antenna. Closeup of the amplifier next to the resonator of the antenna. The circuitry is hidden below the copper shielding. S11 of the yagi antenna shown above. x is frequency, y is log reflected power (lower is better). For low-noise a...

Classical snippets use case: insert a for loop witout having to type the iterator variable three times.

Linux, Games, Programming, and some other random stuff. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. About SSD hard drive durability. But, how about its durability? Of course, I can only really tell about the durability once it breaks, but there is a handy little tool called smartctl. From what I understand, this is the maximum amount of times a block on the disk has been re-written (you know, of the 10k times it is supposed to survive). Interestingly, after 18 months of daily usage, this is a whopping 53. So: From the bloc...
