My mother used to #photograph with film rolls for #slides. And the fun thing about slides is, that colours are kept relatively well. Recently I found this photo (that I scanned) of the Kaiser Franz Josef Höhe and the Gross Glockner. It's from the late 1960s. I recognised that building. I've been there on my #cycling trip last year.

Spot the differences..

I'm in the market for a slide scanner. I have a few hundred slides from the 70's and 80's that I would like to scan, along with a lot of film negatives from the same time frame.
My flatbed scanner will do prints ok, but not film or slides. I need to replace the PrimeFilm PF 1800 that I have had for ages. It is very unsupported and what is available barely works.
I don't want anything cloud based, all local. Any suggestions?

How I make annotated presentations
Giving a talk is a lot of work. I go by a rule of thumb I learned from Damian Conway: a minimum of ten hours of preparation for every one …

Doing slides for HCII2025. I like it, enjoy thinking it through. I wouldn't want AI to do it for me. That's just me I guess.

#Slides: #BoundedContext - Problem or Solution from @oop #OOPmuc https://speakerdeck.com/ewolff/bounded-context-problem-or-solution

peer-to-peer networks that worked
core challenges, routing, and privacy

This 90 minutes talk describes how peer-to-peer networks managed to interactively search 4 million computers with the bandwidth of 2004, which goals they failed to reach, and what information the networks expose as part of their operation.

Great talk by Brendan Rodhes (of Pyephem and Skyfield fame) about how Tools, Ecosystem, and importantly, Community, are key to lower the "activation energy” required to tackle problems in programming.

The talk can be well generalized into other fields, but I think it is particularly apt for computer science.

Very much worth the watch, and it works well at 2x speed with subtitles.
