Even with everything that's going on in our lives right now, I quietly managed to work on Sky scraper. Firstly, I renamed it to TERMINAL-1090. Why? Because while I liked the Sky scraper name, it felt a bit too generic. The new name is...
This time, it was 54+04. Surprisingly, the machine arrived on time, but it didn't land. Instead, it flew over the RWY 10 and disappeared into the foggy skies. That gave me an opportunity to capture the airplane from eye level, which...
Moving from Firefox to Orion has been a success in all respects, except one: I've lost the ability to send tabs from one device to another. I've tried several approaches, but most of them were too kludgy to be practical. Last night, I...
It's Hack Week at SUSE, and it's my last one. This time around, I decide to spend part of the week on fixing and cleaning a Technics Hi-Fi stack I bought for a pittance, without electrocuting myself. The SA-EX100 AV control stereo...
It has been a while since I visited the rooftop of the P2 parking garage, waiting for hours for a military airplane to capture. So when I saw that a Luftwaffe Airbus A400M was scheduled to make an appearance in NUE, I gladly seized the...
1. I finally decided it's time to give 3D printing a try, and I've bought myself a Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D printer. It's the cheapest and most user-friendly 3D printer I could find. And after a couple of nights of monkeying around with it,...
With our upcoming move, we have less time and less money with every passing day, so we promised ourselves that we would take advantage of as many opportunities to visit our favorite places as possible. So last weekend we went for an...
There is no need to expose your ADS-B receiver and feeder to the Internet, unless you need to access ADS-B data from outside your local network. But how would you actually pull ADS-B data from outside your network without exposing your...
The best part about learning a new skill is that the bar to success is very low. I know nothing about home improvement, so when I managed to release air from the radiators and insulated a few places (both are pretty trivial tasks), I...
When we took over our new house, we noticed that it already had a resident: a sparrow living at the rooftop. It greeted us with its cheerful chirp, and we promptly named it A318.
On Monday, November 3, we took possession of our new house. Of course, I managed to catch a cold on our way to Denmark, but that didn't make me appreciate the moment any less.
I saw a kindred spirit in Hamburg.
What started as an idle idea I was entertaining while riding my bike from NUE after a day of airplane photography turned into an amusing application that pleases me to no end. I'm talking about RetroPPI. Similar to tar1090, it visualizes...
The weather is gradually getting less conducive to airplane photography, so I'm spending more and more time working on Sky scraper.
