Here those pictures I told you about from Greece.

http://files.dimme.net/Greece/

Sorry, there are no thumbs but I just came home from work and I’m too tired to start photoshoping now.

So long!

So now I’m back again…

Unfortunatelly my worthless Internet Provider closed my Internet connection while I was away because my server was causing “problems” to their worthless network. Anyway, the vacations blog never came true but I will later tomorrow upload some pictures and videos from Greece.

Now it’s time to sleep, goodnight!

So here I’m, in my village in Greece. The travel was quite good and I didn’t have any problems. I just had to pay 130€ more for the car I  rented, a new Nissan Micra, because he said that I’m under 25 years old. He told me that it was written in the rules… Well I actually did read the rules for once in my life when I boked the car through the Internet and there was no such rule…

Anyway, I will buy some batteries for my camera and return with some pictures.

Well I don’t do much of electronics projects any more so I’ll change the theme of this blog from electronics to anything you can imagine

For the next 17 days or something I will post here pictures and news from my trip to Greece, I will try to keep the blog updated.

Now I have to pack my stuff and sleep some hours before the flight. So long!

UPDATE

Now I write from the Kastrup airport in Copenhagen, they have a nice wireless connection here. At least I get 5 pure Mbit/s download

My plane will leave in 50 minutes so now I have to go and find the gate. Adios!

Here is a nice traceroute from the airport to my server (this server) :

I just finished the design of the circuit that will make Ardoscope come true. Still without a guess about what Ardoscope could be?

I have a new project on the way. It will be little bigger than my last ones thus it will take a little more time.

I only say one word, Ardoscope, try to find out what that could be

I already wrote my first Arduino program. It’s really simple but fun

What it does is that every time somebody visits my website, a LED light blinks once in my room, and I get a warm feeling of a visitor

How to do that:

• Burn this code to your Arduino.
• Connect a LED light to pin 12 and ground it.
• Connect your Arduino to your web server through USB.
• Log in to your web server and type: “sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0″.
• Add this PHP code to your website header.
• Enjoy!

In case this doesn’t work; try to solve your problem or comment this article and I will try to help you.

Today I got my new Arduino Diecimila that I ordered yesterday. That was a quick delivery.

I like the simple Arduino programming language. It’s much more easy to program than C but still as functional as C.

For those who don’t know, Arduino is a physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer. Currently shipping versions can be purchased pre-assembled; hardware design information is available for those who would like to assemble an Arduino by hand.

Prepare now, more fun projects are to come

I was searching the Internet for a schema to make a simple AM-radio and I found this cool video at MakeZine.

Here is a PDF with the instructions.
