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.

Some 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
At a second hand store we bought a old 60-70 style livingroom table, because it was made from heavy large wooden table top. ( 22 euro’s )
Removing the legs, and cutting the tabletop with a pluge saw. The saw didnt cut deep enough, but using a guide rail and cutting from the other side, i managed to cut it with ease.
Assembling time!
The girls sanded the top and put some protective layer on top.
Above the finished product in our kitch made of scaffolding material.
I’ve collected some beer glasses in the past, but i didn’t have many. I hated the fact that your are not using them OR (even worse). Put a different brand of beer in the branded glass!
So i bought a set of these:
I like the no-brand no-logo … just-a-glass look.
So why different types of glasses. Some say “nonsence!”
Welllll .. maybe for a part. Click on the images for more information about the glass. Below i will use the names of the glasses, these are NOT generally accepted names.
Some types of glasses like the “Breughel” concentrate the aroma.
A heavy stout mostly has less volume, it looks weird in a pint glass.
Besides the volume, a lighter beer looks better in a “Prague” glass
Some glasses are better suited for keeping the beer cold, other you can warm a little in your hand. ( Beer is NOT always best cold! When you drink it too cold, you will numb your taste buds. Most beerbottles have a temperature suggestion)
Bulb glasses like “Grand Cru” will keep your foam longer.
There is no need for a foam head on your stout, so use a “Gusto” for example.
Temperatures (a little example) Do your research on the internet!
4 degrees celsius : Light lagers, Pilsners
7 degrees celsius : Blondes, Wheat and Hefeweizen
10 degrees celsius : Red, Amber, IPA, Tripple
12 degrees celsius : Bitters, Scotch Ale, Stouts and Porters
