Some time ago my wife came home from a visit with her parents with a box containing all the slides her dad had shot during the late 50s, the 60s and the 70s until he switched from slide to negative film.
I’m going to present my solution to digitise a sizeable amount of slides in a reasonable amount of time in this post.
Until recently I’ve been using Digikam to organise and rename my digital photos, sorting them into directories and so on. With my recent move to the KDE5/QT5 desktop environment, the stable 4.x Digikam needed uninstalling due to some dependency collision on my Gentoo Linux installation.
But in the meantime, I’ve found, that ExifTool is actually quite superior for importing and organising for photo files from the camera. Here is how I do it.

The following post outlines how I digitised two of my most frequent used cookbooks.
While it’s actually nice to have the “real” cookbook open during the process of cooking in comparison to an Android tablet or iPad, which frequently needs to be unlocked to display the recipe again, it’s also useful to have the recipe online as well. In particular if you’re away on a holiday, where you are doing the cooking yourself.

In an effort to learn more about IPv6 I created an IPv6 tunnel with SixXS in April 2013. The FRITZ!Box 6360 supplied by the TV cable operator, who also provides the internet access, has all the necessary setup options to operate this tunnel with SixXS in parallel to the standard IPv4 connection.
How to update the kernel on an Odroid C1, which is running off an USB hard disk as root-fs.
Of course in the beginning of the web everything started with managing your bookmarks within the browser. There wasn’t not too much content, that you couldn’t cope with it through the browsers bookmark management. However syncing your bookmarks between work and home was already a problem. At the time I used Xmarks.com, which was later bought by Lastpass. That would have been around 2006 and 2007.
Firefox was my browser of choice then, which must have been the versions 1.5 and 2.0.
This post basically lists the various stations of my bookmark keeping and explains, what I choose as my final solution.
So, finally after long period of procrastination I finally managed to update this website.
