Since 2009 I’m accompanying public events of my meanwhile former school BG/BRG Amstetten. After the foundation of the society of graduates and friends of the BG/BRG Amstetten, the Absolventenverein in 2012 I also started to document these events.
Apart from this I’m also doing panoramas, Pseudo-HDRs and bulb exposures, yet only for private purpose.
At the end of 2014 I also started with videography in cooperation with davidblacher.at.
The software I’m using in post-production are Darktable (processing of raw images), Hugin (panorama photo stiching), Luminance HDR (tonemapping of high dynamic range images – HDRI) and Kdenlive (non-linear video editing), all of them are free software.
Since 2011 I’m maintaining my own server with web and mail services for me and some friends.
Some of my personal goals is to come in touch with the current techniques, standards and software, getting a grasp of “how the internet works”, and subsequently to decentralize the web by using more independent services.
My personal focus is on Postfix and lighttpd.
A project I am participating in and related to server administration is bettercrypto.org. The goal of this project is to raise the usage of strong cryptography where possible by providing ready-to-use configuration snippets for server software.
Beginning in 2014 I engaged in the organization team of the Viennese conference Linuxwochen Wien and am now a core member. I also gave workshops for Hugin, darktable and Luminance HDR.
Until late February 2012 I was occupied in writing and finishing a work called “Fachbereichsarbeit” for my grammar school graduation. My thesis has to do with current developments and theses in the debate of the accelerating expansion of the universe and theories dealing with these topics. It gives also an overview on the history of all the observations and discussions that led us to the state of play.
This is my try to visualize the particles of the physical standard-model, showing not only the names and groups, but also some data like mass and spin. I created it as part of my pre-scientific work mentioned above.
Go to the detailed description!
Unity-Opera is a small Python-Script that adds Unity integration to the Opera Web browser.
Unity is the new Desktop environment of the very popular Linux distribution Ubuntu.
Since I’m using Gnome2/3 instead of Unity I stopped working on it, but nevertheless the script behaves well with current versions of Unity.
Small and unremarkable programs that deserve more usage!
This small Shell-Script can help you in enlarging your music repertoire! Just pass a tag (e.g. your favorite genre), the album or another list of music tracks or albums to the script and let them download in OGG or MP3. It uses the official API of Jamendo.
This script executes one given program with a bunch of input files and compares the output with the solution-files (if given). Very useful when training for the Olympiad in Informatics, which provides huge test data for every problem.
