Trying to fix a computer from my computer collection.
Apparenty something wrong with the graphics chip.
The COMX uses the RCA CDP1869 and CDP1870 Video Interface System (VIS), consisting of the CDP1869 address and sound generator and the CDP1870 colour video generator.
Maybe next to try : checking signals using a Logic Analyzer

Never ask me to reset your password, i you are to stupid to remember or not using a passwordsafe … I WILL give you a new password, and you WILL remember not having to ask me again. 🙂
On this day i drew some example pictures for colleages.
Okay .. now some tips to create uniq passwords for every site in you head.
Type website
dirkjan (press home)
(press right) s
(press right) e
(press right) c
(press right) r
(press right) e
(press right) t
dsierckrjeatn <- your passwordSome websites use ajax and dynamic viewing of larger images.
For a colleage i grabbed a screenshot using below to get him a full sized campsite map.
Firefox example: Open the page, google maps for example.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+M or Responsive Design View from the Developers Tools.
Change the size you want your virtual browser ( and doing so, your screenshot size here 2800 ) And click on the ‘take screenshot from viewport’ icon on the right.
A friend of mine wanted to monitor his UPS using domoticz.
This UPS only had a simple web interface with information.
So we needed to scrape this information and push this into domoticz.
First create a dummy device in domoticz and note its IDX.
Then we can scrape needed information using below script.
#!/bin/bash
#set -x
# Domoticz server
SERVER="127.0.0.1:8080"
# APC Back-UPS HS 500 status URL
UPS="http://IP-OF-UPS/status.cgi"
# The number of the IDX in the list of peripherals
IDX="362"
# Path for temporary file (RAM drive)
TMPFILE="/tmp/apc-hs500-status.txt"
# Get APC Back-UPS HS 500 status and write to temporary file
wget $UPS -O $TMPFILE 2>/dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
PWR=$(cat $TMPFILE| tr -dc '[[:print:]]' |awk -F"Watts" '{print $1}' |rev |cut -f1 -d\> |rev |cut -f1 -d\&)
fi
if [ $PWR ]
then
echo "Load on Battery in Watts: $PWR"
# Send data to Domoticz
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$SERVER/json.htm?type=command¶m=udevice&idx=$IDX&nvalue=0&svalue=$PWR"
PWR=""
fi
rm $TMPFILE
I got bored and attacked my work laptop with a belt sander!
After getting rid of the embedded logo, i took a can of black chalkpaint.
Created a graph for my Nikon lenses. It shows me what lens i can use at what Aperture / Range.
( https://media.henriaanstoot.nl/websites/lenses/ )
It uses canvas to draw lines and text, but thats only interesting for static stuff. ( https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/canvas_drawing.asp )
My example uses a php script to load information from a csv file. And loops though those entries and draw lens info.
Piece of canvas script to draw 17-70mm lens info.

I’m using a lot of terminals, spawning a new terminal and running ssh, without knowing if i still have a session running.
Lets see:
This was done using something like:
#!/bin/bash count=$(ps -ef | grep xterm | grep -v grep | wc -l) timestamp=$(date +%s) echo "$timestamp,$count" >> /var/local/terminallog
Later i made a script to push this information in Grafana
Now for the SSH part.
I’m jumping from machine to machine using ssh, sometime i loop back to a server i was already connected to .. this helps me to keep track
in ssh_config add SendEnv SSHTRAIL in sshd_config add AcceptEnv SSHTRAIL in /etc/profile export SSHTRAIL=$SSHTRAIL:$HOSTNAME restart sshd when you do this on all your machines you can get a trail of ssh using: echo $SSHTRAIL workstation:server1:server66:server1 I could change the prompt when a loop is detected echo $SSHTRAIL | sed -e 's/:/\n/g' | sort | uniq -c | grep -v 1 | ... | echo "WARNING: loop in ssh"
While attending a Kanban workshop, i needed to keep myself awake.
I’d hardly slept that night.
So i wrote something useful using PHP JPgraph and Sqlite, while attending the workshop.
It shows the effectiveness of the team using kanban.

?>Cartridge not recognised?
Just replace chip! With a original one
UPDATE: Maybe there is a counter in there, had a cartridge which wouldn’t work anymore ?!?
Cartridge saying .. i’m empty, but still visible ink?
Just tape up above part!
Note: there are many solutions found on the web, like opening the lid and pressing two buttons to get into a reset menu. Or Cold start your printer without cartrides 5 times to reset stored ink levels.
These are only the things I found
Vincent showed me a very beautiful “pruts” he made.
It was the Boardgame from Jumanji.
He asked someone from work to write software for the center display.
I really liked the idea, so i made my own version.
I’ve cleaned-up the code and my version is here.

The second page should play a mp3 sound sample, but there is a autoplay issue with some browsers. (I have fixed this on other projects, i will fix this later.
