Harald brought this to my attention:

“Pervasive computing will more and more influence on the everyday life because more and more electronical devices are capable of speaking IP, e.g. via Ethernet, WiFi or Bluetooth. Vibrators will be no exception. Although people haven’t realized this yet, there are in fact already vibrating devices with IP-connectivity called mobiles or cellulars. The AT command specified in GSM 07.07 does only provide a command to enable the vibrating on an incomming phone call. Therefore the controlling of these vibrating devices is rather clumsy.”

intermediate streaming server status report…
We are experiencing some high bandwidth usage… it seems that we have to set a second streaming server for the unicast up. That makes a whole of 328 Gigabyte of outgoing traffic since we started streaming.

poverty sucks!

birthday cake: XBOX 360
Unexpected and very very sweet: When my friends arrived here at the congress center they brought a birthday cake for me… great! Thanks so much guys! I really appreciate it.
In fact – it’s the sweetest 360 i’ve ever seen.
Thanks to cosrahn, cutcat, thamthon, ahzf, agtmulda, maedness, mucki, yray,…
22c3: the on-demand era has begun – the streams are online
On-Demand streams are put online as they are available – but at least within 2 hours at the moment. So enjoy. Comments are welcome.

22c3: video and audio streaming and recording scheme
Posted by bietiekay in FeM, hack-the-planet, Meetings, networking, Research on December 26, 2005
As promised yesterday here are some more information about the video and audio streaming and recording at the 22c3. First let’s start with the almost complete scheme:
What’s not in the scheme is where and how the streams are recorded:
there’s a DV tape in every camera (we’ve got 400 brand new DV tapes for that purpose here)
audio+video streams are recorded on the CCC encoding machines on their local hard drives (MPEG2 audio and MPEG4 video)
audio+video streams are record on the FeM encoding machines on their local hard drives (Windows Media Audio+Video 9)
audio-only streams are recorded on the CCC streaming servers local hard drives
Last but not least: How can you watch and hear those fantastic streams? Easy:
Two ways:
go to http://22c3.fem.tu-ilmenau.de and take a look or follow the links directly to the WMV streams:
lecture hall 1
lecture hall 2
lecture hall 3
lecture hall 4
or go to http://81.163.3.2/ and take a look or take this table:
| hall | OGG/Vorbis HQ | OGG/Vorbis LQ | MP3 HQ | MP3 LQ | RTSP MP4V MPGA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| hall 1 | link | link | link | link | Link |
| hall 2 | link | link | link | link | Link |
| hall 3 | link | link | link | link | Link |
| hall 4 | link | link | link | link | Link |

inside the Phone Operation Center (POC)
Since we are kind of interested in providing a large user DECT network on the campus of our university we spoke with the Eventphone guys about their setup: and as far as we can tell it’s far more sophisticated than expected.

Well sorry that there are more pictures than text – it’s just because we have to compile all the information we got and pile it all together into a nice and well understandable text for your reading pleasure.
the trip to the 22c3, the arrival and some food.

Well here we are – packed with equipment we arrived in Berlin and successfully tested the first encoding-run for the upcoming 22c3 which starts in two days.
this text was on the equipment to discourage thieves
finally some food – well maedness had some sandwiches – but finally something hot
Since we arrived we unpacked all the equpiment and drawn-in our new “office” for the next days: the video studio – which is kind of above/around hall 1.
so here we are… on the right side you can see into hall 1 through the window.
concentrated calculating power – our four encoding machines + one fallback.
Funny thing beside that: we got our own /24 subnet here – peered with 10GE directly to the Berlin CIX. How cool is that

…the sun when you take a closer look. So they tested the Sanyo XF-45 without me and my 360 – but nevertheless they tested and approved it good.
