news flash: ROKR may “flop”
...according to engadget the ROKR may “flop”
Well, that doesn’t surprise me… I, for instance, really don’t want one… not in a long way, do you?... ;-)
imho, perhaps instead of this:
it should’ve looked like this:

I blogged about these fictitious apples before…

whatever it is, I don’t like it ;-)
how-to turn a digital camera into an IR-camera
Actually, this is a project I finished just before The Make Faire. I showed it at the Faire and now you can see it here too! :-)
I know it has been done before, actually, the Infra Red Webcam How-to was my basis in this one. The whole idea is just that a lot of people probably have old cameras laying around, collecting dust, so why not make one of your old cameras an infrared one? :-)

Allright, so it’s quite popular :D
...and have a look at my rss-feeds in my Google Personal Home this morning…

How many infrared cameras is that? ;-)
back home
Last night I came back home… so I’ve been on the road for a cool 6.5 days. It’s been a marvelous week, met old friends, made new friends :D

Now comes the part where I have to adapt myself to everyday life again… hmmmmz… ;-)
Oh, on my way back I visited an old friend in Utrecht and experimented with a little wardriving(minus the driving, what do you call this?...)

...and yes… that’s a routerconfig :D
The Andy Face
Something I picked up at BarCamp Amsterdam, The Andy Face :-)
click to view flickr-tag ‘theandyface’
On the picture you can see Andy (of Flock), making The Andy Face (now that figures, doesn’t it?), pic taken at BarCamp Amsterdam.
I’ve got some pics of BarCamp Amsterdam overhere (geez I feel obsolete, still using gallery-software instead of Flickr, but that’ll change soon) :-)
Now let’s all make The Andy Face famous!
BarCamp Amsterdam
I just got to BarCamp Amsterdam to check it out and see what it’s all about and it looks pretty cool! So, I’m gonna catch some sleep (on a couch this time, that’s something else than the Kras where I spent last night, but hey, I’m still in Amsterdam) and gonna go there first thing in the morning :-)

I started a new gallery for the BarCamp, you can find it here, expect some more pics to roll in tomorrow during the day… (update: I left on friday at 22.00 and I’m not sure how long they’re continuing) :-)
a little wrap-up:
EuroOSCON pics here
BarCamp pics here
Maker Faire pics here (at MAKE:blog)
the Maker Faire was great!
...and the conference as a whole was great! It all just finished but I have a great feeling about the last couple of days, it’s been great (or did I already say that?). I’m going to see if I can attend the Barcamp Amsterdam for a few hours at least, so it’s not over quite yet… ;-)
I didn’t get to take a lot of pictures of the Faire itself though, since it was busy! So I hope I can get my hands on somebody elses pics of the Faire…
These are the only shots I have

update
MAKE:blog posted pics of the Make Faire pics here :-)
don’t look for me, go look for fabienne instead, she’s much more photogenic than I am ;-)
BTW, I keep updating my EuroOSCON gallery
getting ready for the Maker Faire...
I just checked if everything I brought to Amsterdam actually works :-)

...and repaired a friend’s computer while I was at it :d (you don’t want to know how much tools I brought, I can just start repairing about everything I guess)
So, tomorrow, october 19th, there’s the Maker Faire, at the Krasnapolsky Hotel, Volmers Room I-III, 19.30-21.30 be there or be, well, somewhere else…
BTW, I keep updating my EuroOSCON gallery

EuroOSCON, we're off!
Ha! I’m arrived at the EuroOSCON early this morning and enjoying myself. Totally to my surprise, my Belkin F5D7050 started to work, while I couldn’t get it to work at home, for some reason… (that’s also how I’m able to post this :-))

...they said hands on tutorial... well, I guess this is pretty much hands on! man! I need to work out here! ;-)
click to enlarge
...a quick break and here you also see the winner of the day, the Belkin-stick that all of sudden works like a dream! yay! (better yet, on a ‘normal’ airport enabled ibook you see only one network, OSCON, and then you have to pray if it works or not… I see every separate AP, so if one doesn’t work, another one does…)
Oh, and this is the location, The Krasnapolsky Hotel situated at the Dam Square (recognizable by that well, euhm, recognizable statue…). Anyways, you can’t get much closer to the center of Amsterdam (since the Dam Square pretty much is the center of Amsterdam…)

So… it all looks like it’s going to be a splendid week, fun people, nice subjects and of course, the Maker Faire on wednesday :-)
I’ll keep you posted! ;-)
(I’ll be putting pics in the EuroOSCON gallery whenever I find the time & connectivity somewhere ;-))
