LAMP

I just finished my setting up my new LAMP server (Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS).

I decided to go for the good old fashioned by-hand setup instead of the Plesk configuration I used in the recent past. Excuses to all of you who do not understand, by this was on my list for quite some time and since this blog is running on the new server as well, I thought it would be worth a post.

Humble Bundle and more

It’s time for the sixth Humble Bundle. Well, actually it already been some time and it’s only ten days left, in case you care for nice games from independent studios were you can choose yourself what to to pay! I bought mine yesterday and already had a short session with one of the six games included.

And since I am writing about games, I’ll just go on and mention that I also got caught (for reasons I myself have not yet fully figured out) by The Simpson: Tapped Out [SaMeOrigin] and Wordfeud [SaMeWord] on my iPad recently. They work pretty well for the five minutes before going to bed or in the morning after the little one got his first dish of the day … at least the latter one also exists for Android (link).

ATLAS model

Today I finally finished the video construction manual for the ATLAS brick model. After more than a month and uncounted hours in hot spotlights I finally uploaded all episodes today. All Full HD video clips along with some more instructions, tips and hints for the build can be found at:

In addition I also created a time-lapse movie (see below) showing both the construction of the second ATLAS brick model, here at NBI, and the construction of ATLAS, down in the cavern in Geneva.
