Der Urlaub in Schweden mit dem Kanu war richtig geil! Habe heute die Photos bekommen und da erinnert man sich wieder an alles. Ich hoffe nächstes Jahr klappt sowas wieder.
Der Urlaub war eine Pauschalreise vom abenteuerteam.com. Wir haben 180 Euro pro Person bezahlt und es war so gut wie alles was man braucht dabei: Flug, Kanu, Ausrüstung und jede Menge Spass!
The wordfilter is working. It filters messages based on a wordlist.
to be able to decide wich messages i want to have, we need a message filter. Therefore i defined a interface to which the filters can be connected.
messages are broadcastet in xml form. they are all together put into a xml statement that is delivered to the other side. Parser to get the messages back is now ready.
The network sockets are ready. Now it is possible to connect to the servers.
Sometimes it is necessary to compress video. My preferred codec is XviD, because its GPL.
With the following script the 2 pass encoding is done automatic.
#!/bin/bash bitrate=$3 infile=$1 outfile=$2-xvid-$bitrate.avi # Audio preprocessing mencoder $infile -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -o frameno.avi -quiet # 2pass mencoder $infile -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=$bitrate:pass=1 -vf pp=tn/lb/hb/vb -oac copy -o /dev/null mencoder $infile -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=$bitrate:pass=2 -vf pp=tn/lb/hb/vb -oac copy -o $outfile # remove trash rm -f frameno.avi xvid-twopass.stats
call it with ./xvid.sh inputfilename outputfilename bitrate
.
It needs twice as long as normal compression but the result is quite better.
add the following to your kernel
Device Drivers ---> USB support ---> USB Serial Converter support --->USB Serial Converter support [*] USB Generic Serial Driver USB Handspring Visor / Palm m50x / Sony Clie Driver
now hope that your hotplugging is properly installed. maybe you must make /dev/usb/tty/* readable with chmod 666 /dev/usb/tty/*. now if you connct the palm or what ever to your usb port and pressed the hotsync button, the visor and the usbserial modules shuold be loaded and the sync should start.
with devfs used for example in gentoo the location of the USB Serial devices has changed. they are now found at /dev/usb/tty/*
to use cups just start the cups deamon. then point your browser to localhost:631 . there you can add your printers to cups. most printers need special drivers, that need to be installed:
* net-print/hpijs Homepage: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/ Description: The HP Inkjet server for Ghostscript. Provides best output for HP Inkjet Printers and some LaserJets License: BSD * net-print/hpoj Homepage: http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/ Description: HP OfficeJet Linux driver License: GPL-2 * net-print/pup Homepage: http://pup.sourceforge.net/ Description: Printer Utility Program, setup & maintenance for certain Lexmark & HP printers License: GPL-2
but the most important parts are:
* net-print/foomatic Homepage: http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html Description: The Foomatic printing meta package License: GPL-2 * net-print/foomatic-db Homepage: http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic Description: Foomatic printer database License: GPL-2 * net-print/foomatic-db-engine Homepage: http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic Description: Foomatic printer database engine License: GPL-2 * net-print/foomatic-filters Homepage: http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic Description: Foomatic wrapper scripts License: GPL-2
With these installed all printers should be usable.
