Screenshots!

Here you can see my work-in-progress of the first run wizard. The help texts still need to be improved but the rest basically should work. Dependent on if you choose "Custom format" in page 3 (unfortunately hidden on the screen shot, but is within the preset list) you get page 4 displayed. The bottom right dialog appears if you hit insert field in the custom format dialog and displays you a choice of fields you could use.
Maybe one should change the background color of the help texts to make them distinguishable from ordinary text widgets.

So, was quite a bunch of work so far and I hope it payed out.

Woow, you've done a sweet job on that interface :D Nice work, really taking shape. One thing I thought is I'm a bit confused about the preview / apply button - does it preview, or does it apply? How is "apply" any different to "next"?

What exactly happens if one hits the preview/apply button is:

1. check for syntax error
2. display a preview
3. save it to the configuration

maybe one could also simply change this to preview and do the errorchecking and saving all with the next button

They are, as Robert stated a bit to formal and stiff. I really would be glad if some of you could have a look at the wiki page , where you can edit the texts.

Dry-Ice Canon fun

Image
Use frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice), mix it with water and pipe the steam into a PET bottle. When the bottle at roughly 22bar explodes you can shoot for example a toy chicken over more than 80 meters (We had serious problems to build a projectile that is not destroyed by the power of the launch). We built the device for a creativity competition at our university. And well, we could not place an object accurate on 20m but for shure we did it with the biggest impact. Music on Amazon and iTunes If you are curious, here some detail about the construction: For us secure handling was not only an option. We have seen some people that put water and dry-ice together into an bottle close it and put it into a pipe. But you have good chances that it will explode in your hands. So we put an PET bottle into our pipe and connect it with an CNC made adapter to the presure reservoir outside. Beside that, all parts are made from steel and welded. We experienced that a 1.5l coke bottle (actually we used...

OpenDNS Fritzbox Howto

While I did some research on how getting this to work I saw many people trying this without success. Here is the definitive guide on how you use OpenDNS with your Fritzbox: Make sure your firmware is up-to-date Enable telnet Login over telnet and type "cd /var/flash/", "nvi ar7.cfg" Search for overwritedns1 and overwritedns2 (they appear two times each) using the "/" key and "n" (next search result). Press "i" to get into edit mode and enter the opendns server as noted in the opendns linux guide ESC brings you back to command mode. ":w" saves the file and ":q" closes the editor again. type "reboot" to restart the fritzbox Restart you networking and you browser. The OpenDNS Site now should tell you that you are using OpenDNS already. Now you can create an account, set it to dynamic DNS, add network and login to dnsomatic. Now login to fritz.box using your browser and enter the following dynamic DNS settings...
