Gentoo Linux ist bei den Chemnitzer Linux-Tagen am Samstag 21. und Sonntag 22. März 2015 mit einem Stand vertreten. Es gibt unter anderem Gentoo-T-Shirts, Lanyards und Buttons zum selbst kom­pi­lie­ren.

Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen.

pdftk is a awesome toolkit to modify PDF files. The shell script below converts a input file to a PDF file with the help of Open- or Li­bre­Of­fice and attaches the source to the end of the output file. It does an additional convertion if the input file is a docx, rft or txt file.

Li­bre­Of­fice is a modern heavy­weight, formerly OpenOffice. The built-in CONCATENATE function accepts only single cells as arguments but not a range of cells. This has always bugged me. To con­cate­nate a range of cells you must create a macro, which does the work for you. Afterwards you can use the function across your document. Andrew Pitonyak has written a nice and profound macro doc­u­men­ta­tion for OpenOffice, which is available as book too. These docs will also work for Li­bre­Of­fice. Likewise, the official doc­u­men­ta­tion is a good starting point.

To create custom macros you need to open a document and execute Tool > Macros > Organize Macros > LibreOffice Basic from the ap­pli­ca­tion menu. Select your document, create a new module and paste the snippet. Save the document and close the window. Now you can use =MyConcat($A1:$A99, "; ") or =MyConcat($A1:$F1) to con­cate­nate a range of cells.

Endlich etwas Zeit gefunden, um den kleinen WRTnode zumindest einmal aus­zu­pa­cken. Für 25$ gibts ein Hacker freund­li­ches MIPS Board mit 600 Mhz, 512Mb RAM, WLAN 802.11n, 23 GPIO-Ports, sowie JTAG, SPI, I2C, Uart Lite und USB 2.0 HOST Schnitt­stel­le. Quellcode und Schaltbild stehen frei zur Verfügung. U-Boot und ein an­ge­pass­tes Open Wrt Linux mit einem 3.10er Kernel treiben die 4.5 x 5.0 cm Platine an. Das Wiki ist ein guter Startpunkt.

Eine Holzkiste, Schaniere, Schrauben, Farbe, Holzreste, Drehregler vom Schrott­con­tai­ner, Werkzeug und ein wenig Zeit.
