Satt och läste forumet på Dykarna.nu och hittade “Anodisering av aluminium hemma i källaren“. Inte för jag vet vad för aluminium pryl jag skall färga in just nu men det kan alltid vara bra och ha koll på att man kan göra det själv eftersom aluminium är relativt lättarbetad metall. I sista inlägget fanns tips på ett svenskt företag, AluPart samt en utförlig amerikansk artikel om hur man gör.

Geotagging isn’t anything really new, been around a couple of years. There are some different tools that will help you to download a track from your GPS unit and synchronize it with the timestamp from images to set positioning data in the image. Then you can place those on Google Earth or on the Flickr Map.
But what I have not been able to find is a free piece of software that will use a GPS connected to a mobile phone and generate a track to synchronize with images. So I wrote one. Now I’m looking for people who would like to give it a test to find bugs etc. The software is yet quite simple, it scans for bluetooth devices and you can select the one to connect to. Then will it start to read positioning data from it and when it gets a good position it is stored in a GPX file on your phone.
I uploaded an example from earlier today onto Flickr.
Some advices and whats needed:
Make sure flickr use your GeoTags.(via)
You need Microsoft LocationStamper, download here.
You need a mobile phone with Java and also JSR-82 and JSR-75, like SonyEricsson K750 or K800.
And you need a bluetooth GPS, I use Holux GPSlim236. Nav4All sells them quite cheap, 70â¬.

Hittade lite om hur man rätt enkelt kan bygga sin egna slavblixt.
Nick Pagazani beskriver hur han byggt sin egna trigger krets för att göra en vanlig blixt till en slav blixt. Den borde funka utmärkt att använda också för att trigga Sea&Sea undertvattensblixten jag har. Bara stoppa elektroniken i en vattentät förpackning.
Annars kan man visst bygga en slavblixt av gamla engångskameror. Här finns en beskrivning och här en annan.

dafont.com har en hel del roliga fonter. Var ute och letade lite för någon trevlig till julkorten.

DIY: Simple PSP-GPS hookup describes how to hook up a Holux GPS to your PSP. Seems the port next to the earplugconnector is a serial port, nice!

Ruby on Rails seems extremely cool. Not only is it Ruby based. Have wanted to try out Ruby for a couple of years but not had any good projects. But also seems incredible powerful! For instance check out some of these screencasts!
Just about to install Ruby on Rails on my server and hopefully something cool can be created quickly:-)
