Helau!

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 11 Nov 2009 10:11:10 GMT

Helau, die 5te Jahreszeit bricht an.

Mag ich Karneval? Geht so. Aber es war gerade 11.11 :)

Oben noch etwas Konfetti. Ausdrucken, ausschneiden, werfen.

Blackberry vs Apple in a somewhat different way :)

LOLCAT? Worse! "U HAZ LOLCODE!"

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 18 Dec 2008 09:01:14 GMT

OMG! Yeah, I know. Some people just love those LOLCAT pictures. They even LOLSPEAK...

But now, the worst has happened: What do you get if you interbred a LOLCAT fanboy with a capable programming geek? Right - LOLCODE!

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A VAR
IM IN YR LOOP
    UP VAR!!1
    VISIBLE VAR
    IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10? KTHXBYE
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE

Yes, that is valid LOLCODE. And yes, that "programming language" is turing complete. And just to prove it, there is a Brainfuck interpreter written in LOLCODE.

Steampunk Mouse

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 12 Dec 2008 09:32:57 GMT

Another nice steampunk project. This guy built a steampunk mouse, including "real parts" - well, you get it. Have a look for yourself. Awesome!

6 nodes IKEA cluster

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 07 Oct 2008 14:42:24 GMT

If a 19" rack is not exactly matching the interior of your living room, but you are still in the urge to build your own cluster - have a look at the guys who built a 24 core linux cluster in an IKEA Cabinet...

Secure HDD "deletion"

Largest Swiss Army Knife

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 03 Jun 2008 13:26:34 GMT

Finally we know, why MacGyver only needed one Swiss Army knife for all situations:

This cutie has 85 different tools available, including important stuff like the "Telescopic pointer" or a toothpick... If you really want to relieve your wallet by $999, have a look a Thinkgeek.

RockBand Stage Kit

In Antwort zu nicknickolson's post:

Das "Xbox 360 RockBand Stage Kit", bestehend aus einem mehrfarbigen Strobo und einer Nebelmaschine. Einfach an die Xbox anschliessen und Du fühlst Dich noch mehr als Rockstar...

The guy created a 24 barrel automatic rubberband machine gun that can fire 40 rubber band a second. and can carry 288 band ammunition. Looks like he is the current uncrowned king of rubber band machine guns.

Wireless keyboards

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 03 Dec 2007 16:04:54 GMT

Looks like the gut feeling many people had about wireless keyboards and their (un)security has been proven right.

A nice articel on hack-a-day gives a summary of the unbelievable unsecure "encryption" a certain keyboard vendor uses.

Personally I don't understand why so many people use wireless keyboards anyway. Most of the keyboards are sitting in front of a desktop PC, never being moved except for wiping some spilled coffee from the desk. Not to mention the needs for sporadically battery replacements.

Steampunk Laptop

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 06 Nov 2007 13:24:40 GMT

If microprocessors would have been available in 19th century... Again, Datamancer has built a masterpiece of steampunk.

For the GeekGirlie in you (not me :) )

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 23 Oct 2007 08:41:22 GMT

I guess the intersection of Apple users and Emos is quiete high, so this girlie Barbie thingy here will likely become a bestseller in no time :)

Coming from Korea this iPod docking station is definitely made to drive the average geek crazy (or blind - or both) while making the average younger Girrrrliegeek proud beyond salvation.

Too many HDDs laying around?

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 19 Oct 2007 11:26:30 GMT

You know. The average geek in us buys HDDs like other people underwear - that is non-geek-other people. Finally the days of messing around with external closures just to connect one of your zillions of SATA drives to your PC are over. Enters: The HDD stage rack.

I wonder if this thing also supports hot swapping. Well, if you have some spare $50, have a look over at GeekStuff4U.com

New geek stuff

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 17 Oct 2007 14:58:51 GMT

All of us geeks have encountered it. Stuff in our fridge we even can't remember that we put it there - let alone when. Finally the high tech (well, kind of) solution to that problem comes to rescue us. The Refrigerator timer.

Wanna party?

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 28 Aug 2007 09:38:49 GMT

So don't forget to bring your party dress then...

Crazy Helicopter

MyNeroUserWithNicknameVoVo32@nero.com (VoVo32) — 15 Aug 2007 07:30:14 GMT

This guy really knows how to fly his heli. In case you wonder: Its a so called "3D helicopter" that is capable of taking any angle for the copter blades. Thus, it can fly upside down, reverse etc, but is much more difficult to handle.
