Foto návody k prežitiu od Armytraining

Po úspešnom absolvovaní letného kurzu prežitia a absolútnej spokojnosti s výcvikom, som dnes ráno chcel pozrieť aký ďalší kurz absolvovať u Patrika a jeho teamu.
Hlavná stránka www.armytraining.sk sa mi zdala byť ako keby zmenená oproti tomu, kedy som ju naposledy navštívil.
Scrollol som dole a bol tam formulár, korý som ešte nevidel, tak som sa začítal, čo to je.

Foto návod prihlásenie

Počas kurzu Patrik a Peter fotili veci a činnosti. Aj som sa ich spýtal, keď som popri nich prechádzal, že robíte manuál? Patrik hneď na to odpoveď, bez dlhého rozmýšlania, že áno.
Teraz už viem prečo fotili veci počas prestávok na výcviku.

Prihlásenie k odberu je zadarmo, tak som sa prihlásil.
Po prihlásení mi hneď prišiel prvý návod, Pečenie chutného chlebíka v prírode nemusí byť trauma na celý život...

Foto návod dorazil do email schránky

Podľa mňa super marketingový ťah, ale i super užitočné, ak nie život zachraňujúce info.

Skúšobne som si zaplatil vladozlatos.com VIP členstvo

Vladov blog už sledujem pár rokov a absolvoval som s ním osobnú konzultáciu tovaroznalectvo v Terne, Aupark, Bratislava. Veľa informácií má na blogu, čo je veľmi dobré a ďakujem za ne.

Infá na blogu sú jedna super vec, ale osobné stretnutie má predsa len pridanú hodnotu a z druhého uhľa pohľadu, ak naďalej chcem čítať jeho bádania a výskumy, tak ho predsa finančne musím podporiť. Internet a elektrinu tiež nemá zadarmo. Nikdy nezabudnem, keď sme si prvýkrát podali ruky :) Hlavný vchod do Auparku pri informáciach. O pár centimetrov nižší než ja a vôbec nevysekaný svalmi ako kulturista z Muscle&Fitness. Podáme si ruky a nečakaný pocit. Mal som pocit, že som ruku dal do zveráka, chalan mal proste silu! Po tejto situácii bol hneď môj úsudok, že to čo na blogu píše bude mať pointu.

Asi toľko o spoznaní Vlada Zlatoša. Ako som spomínal, považuje za dôležité "sponzoring" jeho písania s kúpou jeho služieb či produktov.

Včera som čítal, že na webe ponúka VIP členstvo. Po prečítaní moja zaujatosť neklesla, skôr som ostal ešte zvedavší, čo za materiály to môžu byť? Veľa som neváhal a z peňaženky vybral platobnú kartu a začal proces objednávania.

Mesačné členstvo VIP = = 19 eur/mesiac (úspora 11 eur/mesiac = 132 eur/rok)

Po úspešnej objednávke som sa preklikol do môjho konta, čo som si ja za vec kúpil?
Čakal ma tam výber tém, o ktorých chcem byť informovaný.

VIP Výber záujmových tém

Vyklikal som pre mňa zaujímave témy, skoro všetky a následne dal uložiť. Dokumenty sa v mojom konte nezobrazili hneď. Vrátil som sa späť na promo článok a našiel vysvetlenie. Prvé dokumenty vám prídu v nasledovný deň a dostanete o tom emailovú notifikáciu.

No a dnes mi spomínaný notifikačný email aj došiel kým som spal :D

Nová položka na stiahnutie vo Vašej predplatenej VIP sekcii/sekciách: Databáza recenzií kníh, Databáza potravín, Databáza dôležitých otázok

Prihlásil som sa na webe www.vladozlatos.com a potom klikol na odkaz v maily, nechcelo sa mi cez web preklikávať :) Už mi neostáva iné len stiahnúť si materiály a zahĺbiť sa do myšlienok, o ktoré sa majú podeliť.

Sekcia VIP na stiahnutie

Toľko z dojmov a myšlienok o VIP službe Vlada. Idem si vychutnať a prečítať si dostupné materiály.

PS: Mega hneď ako prvé recenzia knihy Reštart, Fried je jeden z mojich obľubených.

PPS: Ty si ešte zvedavý ako dokument vyzerá? Tak tu máš náhľad:

Môj prvý repasovaný notebook

Mojou srdcovkou vždy boli a sú ThinkPad notebooky. Preto koncom roku 2013 som už ďalej nečakal a z eshopu lacne-pc.sk za 200 Eur kúpil svoj prvý repasovaný notebook, T60-ku ešte z dielne IBM a nie Lenovo.

Dovtedy som nemal skúsenosť s repasovanou technikou, ale v eshope uvádzali 2-ročnú záruku, tak som neváhal. Netušil som v akom stave bude, predsa je to použitý notebook a hlavne dokedy mi bude slúžiť. Chvála bohu som sa v ThinkPade T60 nesklamal. Jediné, čo mi v ten čas vadilo boli jeho výkonnostné parametre, ale tak predsa je to starší model a nie kvôli jeho výkonu som ho kupoval.
Notebook momentákne slúži ako server pre rôzne testovania, monitoring (Zabbix), uložisko dát a vzdialený prístup k iným serverom. Beží na ňom Arch Linux aktualizovaný vtedy, keď ma napadne.

Repas či nový?

Ja som neskutočne spokojný s T60 a pravdupoviedac ako pozerám znova ponuku eshopu a ich repasované notebooky, tak mi v myšlienkach nedá pokoj X201, ktorá je rozmerovo menšia, čo by sa mi k cestovaniu a vzdialenej práci (remote work) hodilo. Má v sebe Intel Core i5 procesor, ktorá by mi v pohode stačila a RAM + SSD disk si zas viem dokúpiť.
Pre porovnanie som si pozrel koľko stojí nová X240 a najlacnejšia varianta na lenovoonline.sk je za 853 Eur, ale ten nový dizajn sa mi už moc nepáči. Dalo by sa polemizovať, ale pre mňa osobne je efektívnejšia a ekonomicky výhodnejšia repasovaná alternatíva. Parametre takmer rovnaké.

Zopár technických údajov na záver

Composite (RCA) TV-out to SCART from Raspberry

Today I finally made time to try Pi's composite TV out [AV button on TV remote control :].

I had to edit my NOOBS /boot/config.txt to disable HDMI and enable Standard Definition Video.

# for more options see http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txt

# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1

# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1 # uncomment to enable hdmi
#config_hdmi_boost=4
overscan_left=24
overscan_right=24
overscan_top=16
overscan_bottom=16
#disable_overscan=0

# overclock
arm_freq=900
sdram_freq=450
core_freq=350
force_turbo=1

After rebooting (sudo shutdown -r now) I had no screen change on the TV :( I checked and the output was well set.

pi@raspi ~ $ tvservice -s
state 0x80002 [PAL 4:3], 720x576 @ 50.00Hz, interlaced

Without solution I read a bunch of thread at http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=28, but no solution. I signed up and made photos for the bug report and by viewing a saw that the SCART is switched to OUTPUT and by switching to INPUT the screen on TV changed.

Compiling w_scan

I bought a DVB-T USB and needed w_scan to scan channels.

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 048d:9006 Integrated Technology Express, Inc.
$ modprobe dvb_usb_it913x

Source code is at http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/index2.html

$ cd w_scan-20140118

Solving "ERROR: w_scan requires linux DVB API v5.3 or higher":

$ CFLAGS="-I /usr/src/linux-headers-3.3.4-030304/include/" ./configure

Switched from Console.app to multitail

With Console.app I had the problem that when I switched to output /var/log/apache2/error_log I didn't see
/var/log/system.log and yesterday I read http://kkovacs.eu/cool-but-obscure-unix-tools and found multitail so I played with it.

I'm currently running the following setup on OSX Mountain Lion

mike@mikembp:~$ cat bin/multitail-log.sh
#!/bin/bash

multitail -s 2 /tmp/lsof-net.log \
    /var/log/apache2/error_log \
    /var/log/system.log -I /var/log/wifi.log -I /var/log/mail.log \
    /var/log/mysql.log

I had to make a crontab to get /tmp/lsof-net.log file, because multitail -R 2 -l "lsof lsof -RPi4 +c15" was crashing with "Operation not permitted". I think the problem is that lsofon Mac is in /usr/sbin. Crons minimal execution is every minute so I had to call the desired command 29 times with 2 second sleep.

mike@mikembp:~$ cat bin/cron-netlog.sh
#!/bin/bash

# crontab -e
# * * * * * /Users/mike/bin/cron-netlog.sh

LOGFILE=/tmp/lsof-net.log

for (( i=1; i <= 29; i++ ))
do
    /usr/sbin/lsof -RPi4 +c15 | grep -v -e rtorrent -e Mail -e Last | awk '{print $1,$2,$3,$4,$9,$10}' | column -t >> $LOGFILE
    sleep 2
done

mike@mikembp:~$ cat .crontab
# ~/.crontab
#
# Run:
# crontab ~/.crontab

Choosing the fastest DNS by benchmarking

Today I used Google's public DNS servers with a WiFi hotspot, never used it so I read about it and came acrooss https://code.google.com/p/namebench/
I tried it with the ISPs DNS servers and got the following result (suggestions for improving) http://namebench.appspot.com/id/71560011 for 100 queries and http://namebench.appspot.com/id/73540001 for 200 queries.
