Short update: last week Users' Meetings at european XFEL and Hasylab, this week 3-way-meeting at the ESRF. Start in a quarter hour. Have to go.

Hi there,

just some seconds ago I realised that the nuts over at junien.de have agreed on a date for their next "last" social event, featuring high-speed LAN connectivity and maximum throughput of beer. Or coffee, in my case.

A quick <ul> with the details:

• ['ju:niɘn] XVI
• October 12th to 14th
• Stadthalle Hagen
• next to Mercure Hagen
• beam be up, Spock

See you there!

At the IRP we got new microscope cams for our set-up at P10. If shutter speed allows for maximum frame rate, they give you 74 MByte per second, so two of them pose quite a challenge on our network connections.

Currently I'm working on web based live viewer using a MJPEG coder, that allows for viewing the stream from every computer on our network, not just only one (as before). Markers (crosses and lines) are drawn by Javascript in an HTML canvas; they also appear on all screens (but can soon be muted).

It's abstract time.

Soon there's the Users' Meeting both of European XFEL and Hasylab in Hamburg, the 3-Way-Meeting in Grenoble, and the Users' Meeting of Grenoble's ESRF. Tonight is deadline for SRI in July and Lyon. Have to finish that, too...

Some time ago I did not find enough time to post a bug report, concerning a strange key repetition delay in my xfce4-terminal. Two days ago I tried some updates, et voilà, problem solved.

Still running x11-terms/terminal-0.4.8; I guess it's x11-libs/vte-0.28.2-r202 that did the trick.

Now that I have more time, I finally managed to fill in the 16 digits called "Stromzählernummer", so Greenpeace energy knows the number of our counting board. Former nuclear supplier gets a typewritten adieu.

Please change, too.
