I have now been on a diet for 9 days, and so far am I holding it great, it is a simple 2000 kcal diet. The great thing about this diet is that I’m also forced to start making real food, so I’m acutely eating more food now then I was before, because of the much lower kcal content
I type down to each gram or ml of what I am eating. So far do I have an average of 1581 Kcal a day, my energy intake should be 4549, so that is about 3000 Kcal less that I should have to stay at my current weight.
I do not have a weight at the moment, so I can sadly not see if it is working so far.
I have attached a PDF which contains a list over exactly what I have been eating, that the exercise I have been doing (It is in Danish).

After ALOT of hours spend on researching courses and planning, have i at last found what I am going to take next semester. I found it very hard to find courses relevant to my interest that fitted together. I wanted to have a lot of math so I could be more sure to be able to get into an American university when I’m will be taking my master, I took C# for some free points with a high grade (I’m extremely good with C# and .NET) and lastly Machine Learning because I would like to learn about this, as it can be used nearly anywhere.

• 01035 Advanced Engineering Mathematics 2
• 02110 Algorithms and Data Structures II
• 02323 Probability and Statistics
• 02350 Windows Programming using C# and .Net
• 02450 Introduction to Machine Learning and Data Modeling
• 02601 Introduction to Numerical Algorithms

Media Center of Doom

I have promised to tell some of you guys about my Media Center System and setup.

Currently do my setup consist of 3 pc’s 1 Master PC ”Jessica”, and 2 Slaves ”Megan” and ”Claudia”.

Here are the specs for the 3 PC’s

Master MCE ”Jessica”

Custom PC

• 3Ghz Dual Core
• Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT
• 4 GB DDR2 Ram
• 7.5 Tb harddisk Space (5*1,5Tb) in Raid 5 (6 Tb usable)
• 300 GB system disk
• 1000 Gbit Lan connection
• 50 Mbit Internet connection
• Running XBMC Ubuntu 10.04
• Remote

Jessica is connected to a 42” LED tv (LG 42SL9000) though a DVI to hdmi cable. Jessica is also connected to a 5.1 Sound system via a optic cable, the surround receiver is a Denon AVR-1610.

Slave MCE “Megan” and “Claudia”

Acer Aspire R3610

• Intel Atom processor 330
• 2 GB DDR2 Ram (1.5 GB usable)
• 320 GB System disk
• Nvidia ION (512 mb ram)
• 1000 Gbit Lan connection
• 50 Mbit Internet connection
• Running XBMC Ubuntu 10.04
• Remote

Megan and Claudia is connected to a 32” LCD tv, they are not connected to a surround or sterio receiver so the use the tv them self for sound.

The setup

Now the whole plan behind this setup is that my media only is at one place, Jessica, so the slaves will never have any media on them, this on the other had have the drawback of having to have Jessica running before any of the Slaves can run, but as Jessica also act as my server is this no problem for me (It is running 27/4).

Another feature is that the slaves leach on Jessica’s XBMC database and source list. This is why I use Linux as it would be harder in Windows.

My Raid 5 on Jessica is mounted to /media/data, this location is then shared via samba. The slaves now at boot time (Or can be done manually later), mount this samba share to /media/data also, this will result in all the paths being the same no matter what Media Center you are on.

The xbmc settings folder “usersdata” has also been shared via samba. The slaves then use the settings files on the samba share via symlink.

The settings files used

• Source.xml
• Database/
• Playlists/
• Plugin_data/
• Thumbnails/

Conclusion

Now there are some draw backs to this solution, if both slaves starts watching a 1080p movie there might be some problems having enoth network space so it can lag a bit.

There are also a race condition problem with the settings file and database, but as long as you don’t start scanning for media on more the one MCE at the time, you should be fine.

My first solution was to use a hdmi spillter, but that turned out to be a more expensive solution, and this solution also support that there can be used different resolutions on the different tv’s.

I’m in the process of a total renovation of my apartment! That is why the cables are not your set up Also all cables are in the wall, and all network cables are Cat 6.

Also a big thanks for the help to poofyhairguy from the XBMC forums

I have just set up my own TeamSpeak server
You can find it on (They are all the same server)

ts.notum.us:9987
ts.doomstone.dk:9987
ts.cosplay.dk:9987

I have been looking for a long time for a way to sync my documents between my laptop and the pc in my home. But with the demand that is should be 100% automatic, without luck.
True there are services as Dropbox but before now what this not an option and let me tell you why.
When all your life is on the computer, do you tend to have a lot of documents and they are filed in a way so you have easy find what you are looking for. But Dropbox do not directly support this as it forces you to have all your files in that ugly “My Dropbox” folder, and should you start sharing folder with your friends will the chaos be complete as they will just be place in the root of you My Dropbox folder without any filing.

Well fear not there a way out! Using symbolic link can we create a link between 2 folders. An example could be that I have 2 folders “c:/folder1″ and “c:/folder2″, if I create a symbolic link between these 2 and enter “c:/folder2″ will I actually be in “c:/folder1″, but the address will still be “c:/folder2″. We can now use this to help us use Dropbox, without losing our filing system.

I will use my file system as example.
I have all my documents in “D:/Libraries”, this folder contains 3 other folders “Documents”, “Pictures” and “Projects”.
I now install the My Dropbox folder to this location, meaning that you now will have the Dropbox location
“D:/Libraries/My Dropbox/”.

Now create a folder in the My Dropbox folder called “Libraries” and Move your “Documents”, “Pictures” and “Projects” to this folder. “D:/Libraries/” should only contain the “My Dropbox” folder now. We do this because we need the real files to be located in the My Dropbox folder, or else won’t Dropbox sync your files correctly.
Now you will need to open DOS Prompt and enter the following commands.


mklink /D "D:\Libraries\Documents" "D:\Libraries\My Dropbox\Libraries\Documents"
mklink /D "D:\Libraries\Projects" "D:\Libraries\My Dropbox\Libraries\Projects"
mklink /D "D:\Libraries\Pictures" "D:\Libraries\My Dropbox\Libraries\Pictures"


This will create 3 folders in your “D:\Libraries\” folder, and if you enter them will you find your files there just as before. And you are done, all the changes your make to this folder and subfolders will be synced with Dropbox.

You only need to create the symbolic links on your laptop now.

Please use this link if you register a Dropbox account, it will give me an extra 250 Mb space.

It has been some hard presses days lately, as i am preparing for the exams. I have also gotten a new dedicated server that I share with izym, here are its specs.

• Intel® Core™ i7-920 Quad core incl. Hyper-Threading Technology
• RAM8 GB DDR3 RAM
• Hard discs 2 x 750 GB SATA-II HDD (Software-RAID 1)
• NIC1 GBit Onboard connected at 100 MBit
• Backup Space 100 GB
• Traffic Unlimited

And it is running Windows 2008 Server, so I am able to play with .NET it do costs quite a lot though.
I bought this server as preparation for the new Cosplay Denmark site (And largely because I’m god dam tired of the piss pure performance given by shared hosting sites *cough* servage.net * cough * buydomains.dk * cough *) the new site is going to be completely in ASP.NET MVC 2. But the current site do also love the new server, it got a 1055% performance increase, and are actually quite fast now.
I did also get the time to fix some hard pressed bugs on Cosplay Denmark.

The description of Danfiber Allocation has been updated with a statement from the Managing Director of Danfiber A/S. Both the original Danish version and the English version has been uploaded.

I today to accept to join Team UMX, so congrats to me
You might ask yourself what is Team UMX? Well you can read all about it here http://www.teamumx.org/about/umm/

I was at Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen’s Open House today.
It must say, it was a cool experience seeing how Microsoft and there employs work, it seems like the place to be if you are passionate about development.
I’m looking forward to get a reply on my application, I’m also going to apply as a Microsoft student partner.
