This web server, and hence the personal pages it hosts, started out as an educational project at a company I was working at many years ago. The idea was to give employees a way to educate themselves about his modern thing called 'Internet'.
We were even allowed to make available free dialup Internet for our employees!
A number of years later after a change of CEO, and under pressure of ever more strict security regulations, the two remaining enthusiasts had to take this server offline. We were able to recover the domain name and moved the content to a new home.
While researching media center PC's, I needed DVB-T channel and stream IDs for Luxembourg. While channel info is readily available, the details of the MPEG-2 Transport Streams are not... and you need those for manual tuning.
I'm spending most of my free time hacking around on various linux projects. This is mostly about running Linux/PPC on my PowerMac 7500 and on my TiBook.
A quick selection of Macintosh-related Linux links:
A driver for the PlanB video input of the PowerMac 7x00/8x00 series
I would like to watch TV under Linux as well ;-)
Starting with version 2.2.8, PlanB is part of the official Linux kernel sources. However, the version in the kernel sources needs some overhaul. I suggest applying patches.
The patches are updated for the most recent kernel versions (2.4.16 kernel.org and 2.4.17-pre1 (benh's tree) ).
Later 2.4 kernels should not need patches. 2.6 kernels were never supported, and PlanB has been marked "broken" and later removed. By now (2013), that's really not a problem anymore, there are many far superior Linux video solutions available, and I don't expect anybody to still run a 7x00 PowerMac.
This is not kept up-to-date regularly, and serves mostly my own purpose.
