April 2014

For old memories sake…

Reminds me of all the time spent in the MIIAtech office before heading to Beijing for the first time. :')

More sales…

This time a Nexus 7 (with 3G). This is the first generation, but still running the latest version of Android (Kitkat, 4.4.2 – and rumoured to get the 4.4.3 update soon). It’s the 32Gb version (~27.5Gb of usable space). This device was bought in the US of A, as the 3G version was (or is) not for sale in Europe.

I’m selling it because I don’t have enough use cases for a tablet. It’s great on a plane, it’s great on a train… But I don’t fly as often anymore, and I certainly never take the train. And in many cases I just use my laptop instead (I’m too much of a power user for a tablet, I’m afraid).

Mainly a note for myself, in case I need it again in the future.

And the original blog post is here.

This will turn on a Mac Mini (at least PowerPC arch, not sure about Intel), running Linux, the moment it has power again.

echo ‘server_mode=1’ > /proc/pmu/options

Edit & Note: This option seems to be reset after every boot to. So add it to rc.local or something.

Today, I’m selling my genuine Salomon Snowblades (MiniMax). This is the, I believe, 3rd or 4th generation of Snowblades by Salomon. I also do not think they are still being produced, so this can be a collectors item. ;)

I haven’t used them in 4-5 years, as I outgrew them and I wanted real skis again. But they’ve seen quite a few slopes when I was younger.

They are definitely in need of some waxing and sharpening, which would cost around ~€20 in any decent ski shop.

Selling 15ish Flat Panel / Display wall mounts.

These are cheap solutions for hanging displays in the office or at home. We do not use them anymore because our installation company prefers other solutions from Audipack (which are 10 to 15 times more expensive; but are easier and faster to install).

Basically, it’s four screw you can easily drill in a wall (using a paper plan/mold, you know the correct distance depending on your display mounting system). 4 others are screwed in the display, and you then click them together. This is more easily done if you’re two (I don’t encourage doing this alone ;)).

For sale, a used Sennheiser HDR 160 headset.

Good condition, travelled the world with me, battery still is okay. This is not bluetooth, but has a transmitter station (2xAA battery) and thus can be used with anything (including laptop, old stereo, iPod, phone, etc) The headset itself has battery pack included, which is rechargeable.

I’m selling these because my (ex-)employer gave me even better Sennheiser headset the day they fired me. ;)

For sale: two TP-Link WA7510N (5Ghz). These devices are about a year old, and served for about 10 months to provide internet from my apartment to a neighbouring building in Antwerp.

Because our office moved (all space got rent), internet is no longer required. Right now, I do not have a use-case for these devices (although, it was pretty cool, and I wish I could keep using them somehow).

I’m selling a Mac Mini 1.5Ghz G4 (PowerPC) with 512Mb ram. It has a 80Gb disk in it (7200 rpm I believe, but not sure). It runs Linux like a charm, and is a perfect server (and WAY faster than a Raspberry Pi).

 

I believe the latest version to run was Mac OS X Tiger (10.4).

It comes with the power adapter, a DVI to VGA adapter, and in the picture below is the optional WiFi adapter.
