"I create stuff."
Welcome to my blog where I mostly post things I've done over the years. Hopefully this will be a somewhat living archive of my adventures as a amateur maker and creator of mostly useless stuff.
I have a handful servers where I login regularly and started to created separate ssh-keys for each client-server pair instead of the standard practice of just one ssh-key per client. The basic idea If you only have one ssh-key and it get accidentally (or intentionally by your nemesis) it’s quite a chore to hunt down […]
How I built a self-organizing distributed network of IRC-bots for a good cause. The bot called Landlady is just the last one in a long line of bots written in Perl, Python and Javascript. Why did you create this IRC-bot? For a couple of years I was given the task to handle the #dreamhack IRC-channel […]
I’ve been looking for a CMS to create my new website in. I would like something that i could run locally and just “compile” to static html that could be rsynced to a remote server. My main reasoning behind this is that I can’t be bothered to have a WordPress site that needs attention, constant […]
For a project I’m working on I wanted to test to oxidize copper to get it to look old and used so I read up on the internet and got some ideas. So I got hold of the chemicals I wanted to test with. Some texts indicated that you could apply Ammonia get the oxidizing […]
This summer me and some of my friends continued the tradition of over 20 years now to go to Netherlands and visit the hacker festival known under new name each event. This iteration was called May Contain Hackers or MCH2022. This was the first time we didn’t sleep in a tent on the campgrounds but […]
After the failure and lessons learned with the design and production of Lou1:d I didn’t give up. And started working on Lou1:e. I decided to skip the extra column of switches to the left, my idea was that I could keep the wirings and add solder points for an external 5 row 1 column PCB […]
A couple of years ago I saw that a store sold Kobo eInk readers relativly cheap and a quick google showed that it was possible to root them and do what you wanted, so I bought one, and rooted it. Unfortunately there were no ready made scripts or programs to display weather information on the […]
While designing my own PCB I created some prototypes. To test my designs and the capabilities of JLCPCB. I wanted to test the newly created footprints, colours and silk-screen prints among other things. So here are a small gallery of those prototypes.
After trying hand-wiring i decided that I wanted to try to make a custom PCB. This would be the first that was a bit more advanced, with a MCU and USB. I also wanted a PCB for the vintage SMK switches I just bought from Ebay. I used EasyEDA to design it since i would […]
