"A planned endeavour, usually with a specific goal and accomplished in several steps or stages."
Here I post completed and successful projects, things that took some time and effort. Things that make me proud or just slightly embarrassed. Some of these projects will be collaborations with other people but most of them will be solo projects.
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 […]
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 […]
Somewhere late 2019 me and my friend discovered that the Makerspace here in Jönköping had laser cutter. Someone had lended it to the space for a indefinite time and we started to get in in order right away. Our goal was to cut parts for keyboards, we had both started looking into custom built mechanical […]
One day at my work I got tired of having people mailing large attachments back and forth in complex email-chains. Unfortunately much of the information was quite sensitive and shouldn’t leave our network or work computers (I know, email *doh*). Using dropbox was out of the question and when I looked for self-hosted alternatives I […]
Back in the olden days, before instagram, twitter and facebook was a thing I wanted a way to share photos from lanparties I and others attended. The start The first couple of versions was based on Menalto Gallery (now known as Gallery the Revival). It was a PHP based content management system for images. It […]
After having used the old dashboard a couple of events Telia contacted me if I could create a new one, and that I could. This time I got my friend from previous adventures on this blog, Mr Hannes. His master knowlege about design and UX combined with my backend expertese led us to a novel setup. […]
The Telia Dashboard for Dreamhack started to feel a bit dated so Hannes and I started thinking of doing a new dashboard, but in a different way. We brainstormed all the possible metrics at DH that we could visualize, everything from traffic in the network to how many cans of soda had been sold and the distribution […]
I did get the opportunity to play with data from the PacketLogic machines that was deployed at DreamHack summer 2011. Basically we parsed a log containing a subset of all connections, extracted the outside IP (independent from if it was source or destination) and ran that through MaxMinds GeoIP API to get lon/lat. The data […]
