How to import Visio into Omnigraffle on the iPad
On of the Apps which I use on a regular basis on the iPad is Omnigraffle. Although it is by far the most expensive App I have bought so far, it is well worth the money. But there is one major feature missing at the moment: You can not (yet) import Visio drawings directly on [...]
BBC iPlayer and how to get it working on the iPad (Updated)
Everybody who imported an iPad from the US to the UK certainly noticed that the BBC has decided to not yet support the iPad on the iPlayer, which is rather disappointing. We can assume (or hope) that this will change quickly once the iPad is officially released in the UK, but that will only be [...]
Import and view 1080p videos on the iPad directly from your Canon DSLR
The Camera Connection Kit is currently the most useful accessory for the iPad. It opens a number of additional possibilities, far beyond the initial description. A lot of these features have been described at many other places..i.e use it to connect USB keyboards and headsets. But there is one more feature, which I use on [...]

As I already mentioned in the last post, there were a number of very nice presentation at the 26th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin over the past days. Here is another great one.

26C3: Street Photography – Das Recht am eigenen Bild
Over the last days, the annual CCC congress (Chaos Computer Club) (26th Chaos Communication Congress) happened in Berlin. As every year, it is an event that should not be missed. Most of the presentations have been streamed live. Most of the topics were in one way or the other linked to privacy and technology. This [...]

A Trip down Memory lane… QuicktimeVR
While going through some rather old backups, I stumbled across a folder from 1996. At the time I was student at the Institut Superieur de Technologie in Luxembourg. One of the projects we worked on at the time was to create a navigable QuicktimeVR movie. We chose to take the Library as scenery for the [...]
Alternative to the Gigapan Epic?
Over the last weeks I have played around with a different robotic camera head. The reason is the ongoing issue with the Gigapan Epic to hold heavier cameras. I really want to be able to use the Canon 500D with a heavy lens to take gigapixel panoramas, and my combination clearly reaches the limit of [...]

We won’t forget you!
Whatever I will write here isn’t going to change anything, but all of us are asking ourselves the same questions over and over again: Why? Why didn’t you talk to us? What could we have done differently? Why didn’t we notice anything? Did you really see no other way out? Why now? We won’t forget [...]
iPhone 3GS – is it really worth it?
Those who know me wont be surprised that I went out and bought the new iPhone 3GS straight away. From all the information that had been released at WWDC it was clear that the changes were not massive, but it was really only a small upgrade. A lot of the new features are actually part [...]
Summer in London
Well, everybody who lives in London must have noticed it: Summer has arrived! Not a surprise then that i have spent most of the weekend out in the town, and of course had my camera with me most of the time. What is the result? More media to fill those tubes. Let’s start with some [...]
