Likely highly illegal, but it has a lot of things in PDF that I already have on paper of stuff that is hard to get otherwise.

Are these universal for any ceiling fan/light? (the IR receivers of our BULLIT one broke) – via: Home Theater Discussions And Reviews
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/22
Bullit ceiling fan with light.
We have two “Bullit” ceiling fans with built-in dimmable lights. Both of them started to malfunction after about 10 years of usage, about a year apart.
They are really nice, both in looks and build quality (heavy duty electric motor, cast aluminium block, screws nicely hidden away).
So this weekend, I took the canopy apart and found out that the receiver device that processes the infra-red signal has broken: it does not pass on the incoming current to either the light or the fan engine.
That receiver part looks like this (handheld is on the right):
- bottom: 3 incoming wires (Phase, Earth, Neutral),
- top: 3 outgoing wires (Phase Fan, Phase Light, Neutral),
- connector for IR sensor
- Connector to wire Earth to aluminium body
Handheld infra-red transmitter (required 9-volt battery).
Bullit ceiling fan/light infra red receiver.
I came across a Westinghouse GS–26-78095-WH08 model. The image is below
Is that a universal replacement for many ceiling fan/light devices?

Dropbox adds u2f support … if you connect to it via Chrome. Using FIDO U2F. Easy with Plug-Up foldable key.
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/21
I like this: the plug-up affordable FIDO U2F Security Key by HAPPLINK.
You could already use it for Google 2nd factor authentication (2FA) through Chrome. You can do this from your own applications for instance through the U2F reference implementation.
Now you can also as 2FA to DropBox, also through Chrome. And it is easy with the plug-up key (Thanks Kristian):
Uuuund… umgestellt. Das war ja einfach.

Es gibt andere Fido Token, die können mehr. Ich nehme dieses, das kostet fast nix und man kann die kaufen und verteilen wie Konfetti.

For both FX and DX lenses: printable Nikon lens hood templates – via Nikon Rumors
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/23
Since I posted In case I ever misplace/break one: Free printable cardboard lens hoods, I found that Nikon Rumours had covered that too.
Now the added even more coverage in Printable Nikon lens hood templates | Nikon Rumors.
Which is kind of neat as now there are two kinds of printable lens hoods: DX (for my D300) and FX (for my D700).
- DX lenses: Digital lens hoods at http://www.lenshoods.net
- FX lenses: Free printable cardboard lens hoods at http://www.lenshoods.co.uk

PS: Missed Schedule fired again on this post as it was originally scheduled for 6:00 some European time zone (not sure which, as WordPress.com is unclear about that though).
