Ximian Desktop

I’ve bought ximian desktop with the exchange 2000 connector (For work) in the same package was staroffice 6.0.
It was based on Redhat 7.3

Ximian Desktop provides everything you need to put your Linux system to work. It includes a graphical interface based on the GNOME platform, with high-quality applications like the Ximian Evolution® groupware suite.

All editions of Ximian Desktop add the following:

  • A special Ximian edition of the OpenOffice.org office suite.
  • The most advanced Linux* printing system available today, integrated with the entire desktop and based on the CUPS subsystem. CUPS supports more printers and makes it much easier to set them up.
  • Extensive network compatibility for Windows* and UNIX networks.
  • Easy, removable media tools, including CD burning made simple.
  • A “My Computer” tool to help you navigate files, networks, and devices, designed especially for people migrating from Microsoft Windows.
  • The Red CarpetTM software management tool, which makes sure you get critical software updates quickly, easily, and securely.

The Professional Edition of Ximian Desktop includes additional software and services:

  • Agfa Fonts: High-quality licensed fonts, metrically compatible with those used in Microsoft* Office, to help preserve formatting and styles across platforms.
  • RealNetworks* RealPlayer*: Media player for RealAudio and RealVideo formats. Works with or without your Web browser.
  • Macromedia* Flash*: Browser plug-in for display of Flash vector animation on the Web.
  • Sun* Java* Runtime Environment: Allows you to use the broadest range of Java software with the best performance.
  • A year’s subscription to Red Carpet Express, the Ximian high-bandwidth update service.
  • 30 days of personalized Web-based support at support.ximian.com.
Outlook integration (needed for work)
Nice icon set
Red Carpet
Vector graphic icons, one of the first distro’s which got it right

Beer crate bottle counter

UPDATE: Found schematic! See below

Post in 2002 due to screenshot .. dont know when i build it, some years before.

Using 24 pushbuttons and a IO expander, i could count the bottles in a crate. Probably used something like a hef4067 ??
UPDATE: Nope I used 74138 and 74573, see new found schematic

Now i probably use a weight sensor or a beer cap counter using a webcam image.

Notification to email and shopping list printer.

Web Interface

Every bottle had to be placed back upside down so the opening of the bottle would not press down on the button. Later i used springs which could hold a empty bottle elevated above the button. The weight of a full bottle would press on the button.

Reverse engineering an alpha ticker led scroller

Cobra from the Icecrew got his hands on some Led scrollers.

But they only had a windows program to controll these, so we started some reverse-engineering.

First we had to make a serial cable.
(Now we could easily use a logic analyser with protocol decoding)

Next i made a sniffer .. because we only had a windows program to control the display.
So we used a windows machine to control the display by serial, and using a read line to a linux machine to stiff the serial traffic

After some tinkering .. we got this

So we wrote some software to control it using Linux

Some code

#!/usr/bin/perl
# Get the attention of the sign
print "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0";
# Tell the sign to print the message
$message = "���������������������    ";
print "\001" . "Z" . "01" . "\002" . "AA" . "\x1B" . " b" . $message . "\004";
#print "\001" . "Z" . "01" . "\002" . "AA" . "\x1B" . " a" . $message . 
#"\004";

::::::::::::::
PERLTESTLED
::::::::::::::
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "\0\0\0\0\0\001" . "Z" . "00" . "\002" . "AA" . "\x1B" . " b" . "Test Message" . "\004";

::::::::::::::
PERLTESTLED2
::::::::::::::
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Get the attention of the sign
print "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0";
# Tell the sign to print the message
$message = "<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<";
#print "\001" . "Z" . "01" . "\002" . "AA" . "\x1B" . " b" . $message . "\004";
print "\001" . "Z" . "01" . "\002" . "AA" . "\x1B" . " a" . $message . "\004";

A few days later I wrote a controller using glade. (Could not find more code)

Some time later we found some datasheets which could have helped!

Dartabase

Somewhere start 2002, i made a tool for playing darts.
Well … keeping score and history

I was multiuser, multigame with statistics and undo.
You could click on the little dartboard what your have thrown on a real board. It just kept score and told you best finish options.

Screenshot below was a digitized picture, no way accurate. Versions later the board was realtime drawn with GDlib and pixelperfect.
It even showed you previous throws.

At the end of the game it should give you the hotspots you have thrown.

Later version

Sound Firewall

See also 2nd Firewall 2013 and Led Firewall
https://www.henriaanstoot.nl/2013/08/03/ohm-2013-hackerevent/

While partying @ HAL2001, a hackers event, Venom and I made a Soundfirewall.

We had a little DMZ, with our servers.
This was protected by a iptables firewall.

Our idea was to get a sound notification on every (interesting) network packet the firewall dropped.

So we made this: (At the bottom are the sound definitions.)
Example of the sound we heared whole day.

Tracking ip/access websites

I wanted to know when a certain webpage was being accessed.
Also when an archive website was being accessed.

So I used below scripts

This one checks the apache log file, using a bash script which was being run every night at 0:00

#!/bin/bash
: > /tmp/mail
today=$(date +%d/%b/%Y --date="yesterday")
grep -i $today /var/log/httpd/xxxxxxxx.henriaanstoot.nl-access.log | cut -f1,7 -d" " | grep /$ | grep -v feed > /tmp/today

nslookup friendofmine.nl | grep Address | tail -1 | cut -f2 -d" " > /tmp/ipcheck
nslookup myworkgateway | grep Address | tail -1 | cut -f2 -d" " >> /tmp/ipcheck
nslookup xxxx.dyndns.org | grep Address | tail -1 | cut -f2 -d" " >> /tmp/ipcheck
echo "192.168.1.99" >> /tmp/ipcheck

cat /tmp/ipcheck | while read; do
grep "$REPLY " /tmp/today >> /tmp/mail
done
cat /tmp/mail | mutt -s "ipgrabber" fash@mailserver

The script which tracked a certain webpage realtime was using something like a pixel tracker. But it was a complete logo.

I created a cgi-bin bash script which, when called, just printed a jpg with the correct headers, and because the server was in my room, it played a soundfile over the speakers also.

Just place the following part somewhere in your webpage

#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: image/jpeg
echo
cat /var/lib/httpd/htdocs/banners/logo.jpg
bwavplay /data/test.wav > /dev/null
echo ACCESS | mail 0612345678@gin.nl -s "Archive Site Accessed"

Old hardware projects unsorted – till 2000

Will add to this page … when dates are unsure

1997-2000 somewhere – Hardware webcounter

Build a hardware webcounter (it was a thing back then) , i used below schematic. Wanted to use huge 7 segment displays but never got around it to buy the large ones.. It was easily converted to multiple segments. I think i used 4 and pulses where send via a parallel port.

Old webcounter schematic

The three (my case four) buttons are to get the counter in sync with my real counter which was a CGI script. It generated html code with took numeric images and displayed these on a page, the state was stored in a file. No numbers where send to the counter, only a pulse. So no synchronisation! Not the way to do this nowadays!

Joystick recorder

I designed a joystick movement recorder for a school project.

You could record movement, and press a button to start recording. (and starting the game) It was not really usable. Because, it needed a higher recording rate, a game which always reacted to the player in the same manner. Only made a half proof of concept.

Drawing images using lasers

For another school project i wanted to be able to draw figures using a laser. One of my teachers fixed a meetup for me with a guy attending university in Enschede. He was using lasers to scan miniscule objects using a laser in groves something resembling a longplayer record.

I wanted to use two DACs to control the movement of two mirrors.
But i’d had to take into account the speed of the movement and the weight of the mirrors, else images where distorted.

He gave me a schematic which used:
2 controllabe video disc mirrors, light split glasses and amplifier part.

Previous project with Oscilloscope drawings helped, with understanding those problems.
https://www.henriaanstoot.nl/1992/01/01/oscilloscope-graphics-using-a-amiga-bonus-vectrex/

I’ve still got the components, except for the high grade laser i lend from a friend.
But a simple laser pen should suffice

Made a webinterface for my DIY webcam

Using a steppermotor controller with two motors. A video capturing device (videoblaster) and a mini B/W camera.

  • Up/down/left/right and diagonal
    • Red double speed green single speed
  • Reset view
  • 2 Presets with save and recall
Setup with parallel cable

Written software in html and some CGI scripts.
Perl and C.

#include <asm/io.h>

# C Code for moving left

        usleep(wachten);
        outb(0, 0x37a);
        usleep(wachten);
        outb(1, 0x37a);

#!/usr/bin/perl
# Perl CGI script 

# Uses 204 no content trick to stay on same page
use LWP::Simple;
my $img = get ('http://10.1.0.1/cgi-bin/left.cgi');
print "Status: 204 No content\n\n";

Streaming video was done using progressive JPG push.
Later i used the capturing command in the loop below.

#!/bin/sh

# push jpg, and update after 1sec
# output mime header

echo Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=--WebcamRules\n
echo
echo --WebcamRules

# create stream

while true; do
   echo Content-type: image/jpeg
   echo
   cat /var/lib/httpd/htdocs/webcam.jpg
   echo
   echo --WebcamRules

   sleep 1
done

Steppermotor card was using a parallel port.
