Nice Talks and very interesting people ! Awesome! i liked the Smartmeter Talk a lot. Security Nightmares and hacking trains was fantastic too !!

Preparing for EasterHegg in Basel or GPN12 maybe there are some other events ?

Video Mapping

Posted: 24th Dezember 2011 by admin in hacking, Technology

Pretty cool technology for visualisation purpose. Good contrast to Lasertagging, but powerfull. Video or projection Mapping is a usefull tool to bring animation to buildings, walls, and so on. Maybe it’s interesting for my Marketing class :-D

Homeautomation using Arduino Step 1

Posted: 11th Dezember 2011 by admin in Arduino, hacking, Technology

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

I started today with a great cheap wireless homeautomation workshop for your xmas light decoration DIY :-D

goal: keep it wireless, keep it open, keep it on iOS and Android

I purchased the following items:

BOM:

  • SACOM RemoteSwitches “Funksteckdosen” from Amazon
  • 433 MHz Transmitter Receiver Devices from Ebay
  • Of course one Arduino (two would be better for simultaneously testing RX AND TX ) from Ebay or DFRobot
  • Arduino IDE
  • Libs from randysimons.nl for Arduino IDE
  • let me think if i forgot sth …. öhm Wire + Stiftleiste (Pin Header) + basic Soldering KnowHow and Equipment

Here’s my Setup RF Transmitter & RF Receiver::

That’s it for the first setup to control your RF RemoteSwitches without your Remote but with your MAC or PC.

Here you can see how to connect the RF 433 MHz Module to Arduino for sniffing and reverse engineering of the protocol.

Next Step: Step 2 – Writing an Android based APP for innterconnect mobile phone and RemoteSwitches maybe + video

Augmented Reality 4.0

Posted: 10th Dezember 2011 by admin in hacking, Technology

Okay for those who think – whats about 3.0 …. -> it’s an innovation so we skip version 3.0 to make it more attractive.

Buzzwords for my new tech hobby: projection mapping event, projector Mapping

 

Some kind of augmented reality – no clue where to implement it – but new item of series  TECHNOLOGY SEEKS APPLICATION

the thing with IT

Posted: 10th Dezember 2011 by admin in MBE

Good Morning ladies and gentlemen,

It’s 7:00 a.m. I’m supposed writing my IT paper – but it doesn’t work. Having 1950 slides from the last IT lecture (no JOKE !!!) and now thinking about where to start…

Web 2.0, MES, tablets and mobiles, cloud, self managed content, social networks, blackbeards, security issues? Please comment this post :-D

Found some stuff which enlighted the whole topic for me:

Enhance Productivity

Posted: 3rd Dezember 2011 by admin in MBE-SCMT

By working through (nearly) all the websites from our Information Technology Script i found pretty much websites, Apps, Software for enhancing personal and maybe corporate productivity.

Some problems may occur by introducing some webbased Cloudservices in huge companies. These companies fearing security problems, but as we saw from the Playstation Hack – it’s always possible even if you take care of your own IT ecosystem.

In this case employees attaching their home-USB Stick are more dangerous than prooven Webservices like gliffy for example. But how to describe this correlation to the IT responsibles?  But i will try it :-D

i installed now the iA Writer Tool to enhance my personal productivity, and i love it! okay i used it now for 10 minutes writing some LaTeX code but it’s cool.

Sometimes you like to write, and only to write and not to formate – painting colorfull tables – inserting huge pictures or that stuff.
Concentrating on content not quantity or nice looking stuff. Next Project –> Writing my next Transferpaper with iA Writer and compile it with LaTeX. I figured out a cool seperation of content and layout – see if it works.

Regards from the depth of the Information Technology Script of Mr. Dannenberg :-D

Sweden & USA preparation

Posted: 18th November 2011 by admin in MBE-SCMT

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

Awesome, during project time the schedule is quiet tough to get the transfer works done, where no milestones are given from SCMT ;-)
It’s all about motivation, we know that from Mr. Herzberg. The problem is, to get the project task solved at work and writing transferworks in every module about the project progress (after work).
No time for holiday but we now received the timetable for Sweden and USA and the students can decide to take the flight from SCMT or book on their own.
I will book on my own because in this 2 Weeks Sweden in February ther would be no time for sightseeing because we are staying in university most of the time.
So we decided to get the weekend before to Stockholm and the Weekend after we make a short trip to Göteborg.

The Planningphase for USA ist starting as well. Some students are starting the trip 1 week earlier as the lecture starts. Some students are planning to stay one week longer to have time to visit some Cities or national parks.
I know that one week before the lecture is quiet a short time for the West-Coast but i will try to get some flights from Munich, Berlin or Stuttgart to Las Vegas, after staying ther 2-3 Days fly to San Francisco or Los Angeles and then to Chicago.
From Chicago.
The last challenge to get in time to university is to come from Chicago to Indianapolis (183 miles) and from Indy via bus to Bloomington.
That’s it for the beforehand trip ;-) after 2 weeks of lectures I want to visit NY (flight Indy –> NY –> back home to Germany).

What i’m not realy sure about is: will it work out Las Vegas + San Francisco + Chicago in Just 7 days? And not only time is a problem :-D money as well because for this private trips i have to pay flights and hotel on my own (getting subsidy from SCMT for the flight GER->US->GER).

Datenspuren #ds11

Posted: 16th Oktober 2011 by admin in hacking

Erster Tag Datenspuren gut überstanden. Die Location ist schon mal sehr cool und grosses Lob und Anerkennung an die Orga :-)
Highlight von gestern waren für mich persönlich Lightning talks, pentanews gameshow und covert channels.

So und damit auf in die zweite Runde :-)
