Vala gains support for server-side async dbus
Something wonderful has happened! Jürg Billeter – mastermind of Vala – pushed support for server-side async dbus into Vala. I hope I didn’t annoy him too much (having continuesly pestered for almost a year now), but the net effect is that we can now continue working on fsogsmd, the Vala implementati…
Too much broken hardware
Let me announce the 3rd piece of broken hardware in 3 months. This is definitely too much :( First my Dreambox 7025, then a Denon AV receiver, and now my Linux workstation decided to die. It looks like (hopefully) just the PSU is to blame though – doesn’t react to incoming power any more. As if I ha…
Field Recording Again
As mentioned in a previous installment of this column, I’m spending more time with music (and related tasks) again. To get some raw material for new samples, I started recording in the field. The best device I can recommend in the mid-budget region is the Tascam DR100 recorder – this device comes wi…
One week in Paris
Sabine and me spent a week in Paris to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. It’s pretty amazing that the ICE train takes only 4h from Frankfurt/Main to Paris, Gare de l’est – this is almost the same amount of time it takes me to get to Berlin… Besides walking all around the city and visiting some …

Updating the Recording Studio
Although I kept working on my instrument skills, I neglected my recording studio for about a decade now. I guess the root of the problem is that I never got the hang of the modern computer based sequencers. The moment when I sold my KORG 01/W workstation (almost a decade ago) was the moment I more o…
Dreambox 8000
After the sudden death of my Dreambox 7025, the new OE-based device in the living room is a Dreambox 8000 unavailable – simply the best set top box money can buy these days. Yes, it’s quite expensive, but the hardware is fully loaded (heck, there’s even WiFi) and the freedom to install what you want…
Openmoko Workshop in Munich
I’ll be present at the first Openmoko Workshop in Munich unavailable, gracefully organized by Dr. N. Schaller (Goldelico) hosted at the University of applied science unavailable in Munich. Topics will be developer-oriented, but beginners are also invited. There are only few seats left, so please con…

POS will die
From everywhere you hear the whining and complaints of local points of sale that the internet is taking away their business foundation. Whenever I buy a new device, I try to countervail this effect by going to my local shop to buy it there instead of doing the couch potato buying it over the interne…
