Within Photos you can now find a new section Computer graphics. There you find pictures that have been created using algorithms i.e. have been calculated. Most of them are quite abstract and have been created using Apohysis. Basically they are based on fractals. Some pictures have been finished up in another image editor (e.g. GIMP). Enjoy them!

This time I managed to translate two articles into english: A Better Bounce Card and Focustest target. The first one describes simple bouncers for a flash. The second one tells you about a simple tool to optimize your lens.

A new Article has been finished: How to mount a display protection foil. Sounds very simple, but believe me it is very difficult to mount a display protection foil without collecting some fluff. This howto should help doing it.
Additionally I finshed the english translation of the article USB charger for iPod and other devices.

I'm currently looking into docbook. Docbook has many advantages when writing documentation. Sadly there are tons of tools and ways how to deal with docbook files. A beginner doesn't really know what he needs and how to configure it. It took me some time to find the needed tools and install them in a suitable way. To help others that might run into the same problem I created a small archive containing some helper scripts which download all necessary files from internet and install them in a suitable folder structure. And the best thing is: The installation is completely portable! More about it here.

Not really new anymore...
