Time, Time Zone and the total mess… (continued)

<content type="xhtml" xml:base="http://www.herzi.eu/">
This blog post is intended to be a reply containing the information that I would have needed abut half a year ago:


  1. as J&#xFC;rg has correctly pointed out: gmtime() would have helped me a lot (but isn't portable)
  2. as I realized during the last week, replacing mktime() with timegm() would have properly helped, too


Going along with timegm() also yields exactly the results that I expected. This makes things a little easier as all the times in my application are UTC times and will properly get converted into local times when using&#x2026; It also allows things to become a little easier as I can assume that all times in my application are UTC times.

So right now, I'm trying to get the g_timegm() patch into glib, so there is a portable, threadsafe (as in &#x201C;does neither modify your environment variables nor use static variables&#x201D;) implementation people can use in their applications.

Thanks to Lanedo, I'm able to visit the Maemo Summit this year again.

I'm pretty excited about the things they will show off there.

ThinkPad X200 Tablet

<content type="xhtml" xml:base="http://www.herzi.eu/">
Lanedo was so kind to offer a notebook upgrade for me and on Tuesday I happily received a ThinkPad X200 Tablet.

I will spend the following weeks setting up the machine to replace my current X60s by Fedora 12's release date.

Wednesday evening I started to install Fedora 12 Alpha via USB pendrive and managed to get a bootable device. The screen was flickering like hell and, after a large upgrade yesterday, things are usable now.

The next step will be to get the Wacom tablet working. Fedora has a pretty recent Xorg server (Ubuntu is actually lagging behind this one); but the wacom drivers don't seem to work with it yet&#x2026;

Auslosung zur Playoff-Runde der Europa-League

<content type="xhtml" xml:base="http://www.herzi.eu/">
Nach dem Debakel unserer B-Elf gestern gegen Randers FC steht wenigstens fest: Wir sind dennoch weiter!

Die Auslosung in Nyon hat nun grade ergeben, dass unser HSV am 20.08. ausw&#xE4;rts bei EA Guingamp (bei Wikipedia; Pokalsieger 2009; wurde 2008/2009 nur 13. von 20 Vereinen in der franz&#xF6;sischen League 2) antritt und dann wieder das R&#xFC;ckspiel in der HSH-Nordbank-Arena am 27.08.09.

Wie &#xFC;blich habe ich den Google-Kalender f&#xFC;r die HSV-Spiele aktualisiert: HTML, iCal, XML.

Die Ansto&#xDF;zeiten werden dann nachgetragen, sobald ich sie kenne.

Casio Exilim Z85

<content type="xhtml" xml:base="http://www.herzi.eu/">
Jetzt ist es gut einen Monat her, dass Anja und meine Eltern mir einen Fotoapparat geschenkt haben und ich wollte einfach mal ein bisschen zusammenfassen, wie sich mir die Lage nun darstellt:

Pro EX-Z85


  • Die Kamera ist sehr klein; sie passt in eine Handy-Tasche (&#xBB;Handysocke&#xAB;) und kann dann auch gut in der Hosentasche transportiert werden.
  • Die Kamera ist sehr leicht; auch das macht sie gut geeignet f&#xFC;r den unkonventionellen Transport.
  • Die Kamera ist sehr schnell; nicht nur was die Zeit zum Einschalten angeht, sondern auch was das eigentliche Fotografieren betrifft (&#xBB;Hey, mach' mal ein Foto!&#xAB; - &#xBB;Och n&#xF6;, das war zu schnell. Mach noch eins!&#xAB;).


Contra EX-Z85


  • Die Kamera ist sehr leicht (ja hatten wir schon); leider macht das die Kamera recht schwer ruhig zu halten.
  • Die Kamera hat keinen eingebauten Beschleunigungssensor; die Fotos m&#xFC;ssen von Hand in die richtige Orientierung gebracht werden.


Fazit: f&#xFC;r meine Zwecke eine tolle Kamera; die Fotos sind f&#xFC;r mich tolle Andenken und die Qualit&#xE4;t ist toll (wenn man der Kamera genug Zeit f&#xFC;r den Auto-Fokus l&#xE4;sst). F&#xFC;r 130 Euro ein Schn&#xE4;ppchen. Wer Beispiel-Bilder sucht, wird bei meinen Gran-Canaria-Bildern Fotos finden, die mit GraphicsMagick einfach nur auf 1024&#xD7;768 Pixel skaliert und bei FlickR - nach Bedarf - rotiert wurden.
