09 May 12 - 13:33Neue deutsche HD Sender und MythTV
Bei MythTV Talk wurde die Frage gestellt wie man am besten die neuen HD-Sender in MythTV übernimmt ohne die Sendernummerierung zu verlieren. Hier nochmal zusammengefasst:
- Mit "/usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl --verbose" sollte man sich auf alle Fälle erst ein Backup machen
- dann diese Datei (channel_numbers_update_de.sql) auf den Server runterladen
- über z.B. mythweb sich die jetzige Sendernummerierung in die runter geladene Datei übernehmen oder die dort vorgeschlagene belassen. "channum=1" steht für die Sendernummer.
- danach mit "sudo mythtv-setup" einen neuen Senderdrurchlauf starten und "alle Transponder" und "neue Transpoder suchen" auswählen.
- jetzt sollten die neuen Sender existieren, aber die Nummern mit keiner Ordnung vorliegen.
- der Befehl "mysql --database=mythconverg --user=mythtv --password=meinpword < channel_numbers_update_de.sql" ändert dann die Sendernummern. Alles OK.

But
no matter how much I tried I could not get it running. After a while I
found out that this dongle is SIMlocked and I wanted to use it with a
non Vodafone SIM. To unlock it you need to install minicom (apt-get
install minicom) and configure it to use ttyUSB2 by running it "minicom
-s". Then you can run minicom and type in AT^CARDLOCK? after which you
should get something like ^CARDLOCK: 2,10,0 now all you need to do is
type in the IMEI from your stick (printed on it) into this homepage
and save the code you get there. With this code you can then run
minicom again and do AT^CARDLOCK="YOURCODEHERE" replacing the text with
your actual unlock code. You should get an OK from minicom. After that
the Vodafone dongle should work perfectly.

19 August 11 - 21:21exiftool to sort files into directories
This is a nice commandline that uses the exiftool to sort all pictures in "oldplace" to subdirectories defined by the original time and date that the picture was taken. It is also a nice way of removing duplicates.
exiftool -r -d newplace/%Y/%m/%d/%H-%M-%S.%%e "-filename<datetimeoriginal" oldplace

28 July 11 - 23:43Nice way to record your VCR shows using Linux
Today I spend a few hours trying out how to best record a few things I had on a VCR tape. The recordings where made in NTSC but the playback would be on a PAL VCR player. The following command uses a Video4Linux2 capture card to record and uses the normal audio card to record the audio. Change the "input=2" to the composite or s-video input in your configuration. The avi that is created is uncompressed and will grow really big.
mencoder tv:// -tv input=2:driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:normid=12:input=2:alsa:adevice=hw.0:audiorate=48000:amode=1 -ovc copa -oac copy -o output.avi

11 May 11 - 14:04Things I want to happen when I die
Just this month my beloved Uncle Uwe died. I miss him. He had made
his wishes clear by writing a letter to his family declaring what he
wished for to happen if he where to die. This I must admit is a big help
to those who are left behind. I talked to my father about what he
wanted before he died, but he never wrote it down. Just informing one or
a few members of your family is a lot better than none, but it still
leaves behind nagging questions for those who did not get this
information first hand.
Today I read this post
by Jon Canter in the Guardian. He wrote how his sister wanted a
godless funeral and how he managed it. The following is kind of an open
testament, to make life easyer for those of my loved ones, in the case
of my some day to be expected death. I am a non-believer. I was not
raised either Chrstian, Muslim or any other Religion. I am very sure
that there is no afterlife. Here are some ideas of how I would like my
funeral to be.
First, get the cheapest casket available.
If it's the pink one or the one with the power-rangers, that's fine
with me. I don't care if I am cremated or buried, take the cheaper
option. Be sure to choose the cheapest option in the long term, a simple
net present value
calculation on the cost of maintaining a plot should be enough 
.
Don't get a viccar or similar person to do the talking. I expect my
friends to take on that role and have some fun. Unearth some of the most
emarasing moments for the amusement of everyone! I have three songs
that I would like to be sung, "O Lord Please Don't Burn Us" and "Meaning
Of Life" by Monty Pyhton. To finish I would love the song "Always Look
On The Bright Side Of Life". I love the idea of having a minute of
silence, followed my cheering and
clapping like at a soccer match, at the end of the ceremony. Afterwards
go get something to eat. I don't want any flowers or wreaths at the
ceremony. If you feel like you need to do something, plant a tree for
me. If you want to donate, do so to the Richard Dawkins foundation or the JREF. But don't feel like you have to!

07 April 11 - 10:50ManagementBoy by Len Peralta
I have been a fan of
Len Peralta ever since he started the
Geek a Week
podcast. A few days ago I was made aware by Geed Dad that Len had
started a new series, where one could get a hero or villain drawn by him
for just $50 (34,- €). I immediately ordered my
ManagementBoy hero! I must say it is way cooler than I
had expected, especially because I had my own preconceptions.
