Haukes Blog

Finally I could spend some time to play around with FirefoxOS - I have ordered an Alcatel One Touch Fire (colored green, of course) and am awaiting its delivery.

I am a die-hard user of Palm webOS from the start - I got a Palm Pre on its release day here in Germany and also got a Pre+, a Pre2, a HP Veer, Touchpad and a HP Pre3. After HP killed webOS, I also grabbed a Palm Pixi+ and another Pre as backup devices. Even though it sounds crazy, I have spent a lot of money on a discontinued operating system running on hardware which looks pretty dated in 2013. Still, I love to use my Touchpad. The ui is still awesome, the user experience in the system and most apps are something I am missing with current systems. Still, the keyboard of the Touchpad is unmatched (just my personal view).

After having my blog running with harpjs for about a week and having pushed the basic structure to github for everybody to use as they wish (if they wish to…), I found it would be great to organize my tags in a tag cloud rather than showing them in an unhandy list - as the amount of tags used grows, this list view is not useful at all to anybody (unless you are searching the page with the browsers built-in search functionality). I still have the list style active on my archived blog in German if you like to see an example.

Seit einiger Zeit habe ich einen digitalen Videorekorder - hauptsächlich, um diverse Kinderserien von KiKa und Toggo ohne Rücksicht auf die Uhrzeit bereit zu haben. Am Anfang lief das System unter openELEC auf meinem alten Thinkpad. Das hat gut funktioniert, allerdings war das Laptop nicht ganz die richtige Plattform für den Zweck, der Kabelsalat im Keller war zusätzlich eine Belastung. Eine Lösung war schnell gefunden - eine MSI Windbox, ein sogenannter Nettop. Die Box ist kompakt und hat (für mich) noch akzeptable Energiewerte. Sie passt wunderbar in das Regal, hinter dem alle notwendigen Anschlüsse liegen!

Ich habe nach langer Zeit an meinem Blog etwas geändert.
