As Constantin suggested, here is a list of services, which my home server should provide:

Some time ago, I decided to migrate my blog from DokuWiki to Drupal. Blogging with DokuWiki was OK using the plugins from the DokuWiki Blogsuite BundleHub, but Drupal has some advantages.

Thanks to Wolfgang Stief and Constantin Gonzalez, I got hold on one of the proceedings of the Linux Kongress and OpenSolaris Developer Conference.
In this book, I found amoung other, also very interesting, articles one about LAX by Thomas Groß.

LAX has some very interesiting concepts, but, unfortunately, it doesn't fit my needs.

Yesterday, I visited my first geocache.
For those interested, here is evidence:

This small demo shows the basic ZFS operations.
You will need a Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris host and 1,2GB of disk space.

To mount a shared folder in a OpenSolaris guest in VirtualBox, you have to install the Guest Additions and then mount the file system type vboxfs. The Usage is:

mount -F vboxfs <share> <mountpoint>

If you want to share the filesystem /share from the host to the guest, then first create the share. Go to “Shared Folders” in the Virtual Machine's Settings and click the little folder with the green plus on the right.

Change Mac Audio Volume from Command Line

To change the audio volume from remote of my Mac at home, I needed a command line tool which I can use via ssh. I've found it here: OS X Daily - Change the system volume from the command line. It's as easy as

sudo osascript -e "set Volume 10"

You can enter numbers from 0 (mute) to 10 (maximum).

I'm using wikis a lot but every wiki I tried so far lacks support for tables. The wikis are able to show tables, but building a table using lots of pipes “|” sucks. What I want to develop (or learn that such a this already exists) is a small application which creates tables which then can be included in wiki pages.

The first step could be a small standalone application which manages the tables. The tables should also be available as a HTML-snippet (just the table, html- dory body-tags). This snippet can be included by most wikis.

I just created a project on kenai.com to share my Java Code and another project which invites all Travian tool developers to participate.
