Coming out of my LEGO Dark Ages…
I have good memories from playing with LEGO as a kid and my interest for LEGO has been rekindled by helping out my 4 yr old nephew put together his Christmas gift.
For quite some time my Mac Mini server was constantly running at high CPU loads causing the fan(s) to run also constantly full-out. Bad for the lifespan of the server and annoyingly noisy.
Based on the information from the Activity Monitor I did some searches (keywords Python
and devicemgr
since these were showing the highest CPU load) on the Internet, but nothing really useful stood out (or better said I didn’t make the connection…)
I am proud to announce that today I have released my second iOS application which is called Cloud Hash.

After watching the video ‘Hubsan X4 Tips & Tricks 2’ I decided to implement some of these tips
From time to time the script collecting data from sensors attached to my Raspberry Pi would stop working and the only thing that seemed to resolve the issue was to reboot the device. To have this somewhat automated I extended to rules module that would allow me to specify a shell command to be executed, in this case the command would be sudo reboot
.
Also to make a bit more useful I can specify when the command needs to be executed, being always
, never
or results
. The first two are self explanatory. When results
is specified the command will only be executed if the rule query itself yields a result. You can find the code in my GitHub repository raspberrypi.
I recently bought a Hubsan X4 quad-copter and after some flying and crashes (already had to replace one of the rotors, blades and solder the power leads) I thought it would be nice to attach a camera to it.

Since we have moved to our new apartment I started to make several modifications to my workplace. The reasons for me to start drilling and sawing into my desk are twofold.
The first reason is that I just have too much gadgets that I want to keep near at hand, second reason is that although there is a lot of stuff I still would like to keep my desk tidy.
