Everyone standing at an open door, act false 
This website is located in germany, nevertheless the posts are written in english. With this in mind please forgive strange word selection and grammar mistakes.
Please have a look at the linked pdf, which I noticed yesterday at the Frankfurt's central station. It is a document explaining the door operations of the rapid transit trains.
Enjoy the word-by-word translation and try to figure out, what the writer actually wants to tell …
info-tueren-en.pdfHere are some extracts:
- … Therefore it is very important to let this area clear
- … So the rapid-transit railways rmain warmly in winter and pleasantly in summer
- … We require all time good travel to you!

remotunes - iTunes remote controller
Our
MobileControl midlet is a simple implementation to allow remote controlling a pc via bluetooth mobile. It uses a bluetooth-com port bridge and utilizes few windows api calls to control the running applications.
Primary it was written to control an audio player remotely and it worked fine for my purposes.
Now I came across
remotunes - a free iTunes remote controller for Mac OS X, Windows and Java ME. This free toolset has a much better usability compared to our
MobileControl. It connects via bluetooth or network. It controls iTunes only, but in a perfect way and worked without any problems on my mac and windows machines and the setup is really simple.
remotunes enables you to browse your iTunes library, play/pause/volume control and even serves cover-art.

5ud0ku review made my day
Looking around for links to our
5ud0ku game, I stumbled across this
dooyoo review, which made my day:
…
And that's about it; utterly brilliant for Sudoku addicts like me. I would have been prepared to pay money for this game. The fact that it's totally free just shows that there really is such a thing as a "Free Lunch". That it's also just about the best implementation of electronic Sudoku available is really the icing on the cake.Summary: The best version of Sudoku ever and mobile too!!!

Trischendamm
Last week I spent some leisure days in Friedrichskoog. As expected the weather was nice if you like stormy winds and rain. Actually on Wednesday there was sunshine and a no rough sea at all. So I took the chance and walked the
Trischendamm. At its end (2,2km) I took the picture below.

Portable Applications
Because I currently need to use multiple PCs with different setups, I looked for a possibility to share some applications and configurations. Luckily there are already lots of options and applications to select from.
Portable Apps overview
Portable Apps are applications running directly from a removable device (USB Stick) and which do not interfere with the local system's configuration (registry). This allows you to carry your apps and data around including your configs and settings.
There is a U3 hardware supported standard, but I am going with the simple independent approach.
MyApps
Main source for my portable apps is
PortableApps.com. The site offers a menu application and also sorts and provides many portable apps ready to be included in the menu. Currently I am using:
- 7zip
- Audacity - sound editor
- ClamWin - virus scanner
- eraser
- FileZilla
- Firefox
- GIMP
- MPlayer
- Notepad++
- OpenOffice
- Pidgin
- PuTTY
- Sumatra PDF Viewer
- Thunderbird
- Toucan
- VLC
- WinSCP
additions
In addition to the hosted apps on portableapps.com, following applications are also running from my usb stick:
To start skype, use these command lines in a batch file (create the data directory before):
@cd \\\portableapps\\\skypeportable\\\app
@start skype.exe /datapath:"data" /removable
To include a batch file (used for skype) into the portable menu, I used the
JPSoft Batch Compiler 1.0 (kindly now hosted and described at
http://www.hollmen.dk/articles/batch.htm). To run a java application, use the
launch4j - a Cross-platform Java executable wrapper
- tool, which enables you to just launch java or even package the jre into the created exe. There is a quite comprehensive guide at
informIt.
