Spent Christmas quite relaxing at my parents. Church visit on christmas eve, in the new churchbuilding (that obsoleted a 60 year old church barrack ... which admittedly had more flair). Lots of christmas "Stollen", the traditional goose on the 25th and rabbit on the 26th. Lots of family in between.

Hacking only done on the train traveling between Nürnberg and there. More done in the last days back here.

I found a fast directory retrieval mechanism on the Nikon P2. A camera with 100 files now starts up in 1.5 seconds, not in 12 seconds. No longer O(n), but more O(log n). Need to do this for the Canons too.

Some investigations on the Kodak CX6230. I now have a handle on all the undocumented commands, but so far the only funny thing is that I found out how to display text on the TFT of the camera. Not very useful.

All in all a lot of hacking done, more to come next week.
