Posted by jpluimers on 2016/07/15
This is the radio in our W116 450SEL 6.9 (pictures are at Flickr: mb450sel69).
Still need to figure out how we can connect a mobile phone or AUX to it.
Research research…

The new Google Maps/Earth satellite imagery allows to count our solar panels…
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/07/01
I checked our home using the recently improved Google satellite imagery: from Google Earth you can get better detail than from Google Maps.
You can even count our solar panels and see one is misaligned after a storm (a few days after this image was taken I managed to re-align that panel).
13 PV panels and one hot water panel lowered our energy bills for more than EUR 1000/year.

Dell Dimension 9200 Updated to 8GB. – General Hardware – Desktop – Dell Community
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/24
From old stock, I still had a few of these machines and gave them away maxed out at 8 GB with a Windows x64 installation and SSD.
You need 4 of these: 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 @ 667Mhz non-ECC non-registered memory DIMM. Faster DIMMs work too. Registered DIMMs don’t work.

#Maths #fun – great graphics help to understand math
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/17
Good visualisations make math so much easier to grasp, so I completely agree with Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) who wrote “Why didn’t my Maths teachers use this kind of graphic? Why wasn’t it in the expensive book?”

Actual source: Binomial theorem: Geometric explanation – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia picture File:Binomial expansion visualisation.svg – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (red/purple/blue) and File:Binomial theorem visualisation.svg – Wikimedia Commons (red/orange/green/blue)
I like the last picture best (I wonder though what colour blind people think about them).

BBC – Autos – Lego’s 2,704-piece Porsche is not a toy
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/01
Reminder to self: see if lego set 42056 has been released yet:
The Danish brickmaker’s new Technic 911 GT3 RS set is beautiful, desirable and slightly scary — not unlike the actual car.
