Namenlos wrote about how almost everything is held together at this years ISWI technically. Well he even draw something neat to look at and say "Look, that we did!"

"Die Audiostrecke wird mittels 6 Behringer Ultragain Pro-8 Digital ADA8000 aufgebaut. Diese Geräte nehmen 8 Kanäle Audio via XLR entgegen und setzen die auf eine ADAT-Verbindung über ein TOS-Link-Kabel um. Da die TOS-Links nur 10m weit gehen hängt an jedem Behringer ein ADAT-Extender, der das ganze gleich auf Glasfaser umsetzt. So kommt der Ton vom Studio zur Regie und zurück. Zusätzlich liegen noch 5 Strecken Video (so ein Fernsehsender ganz ohne Bild is ja auch nix.). Zum Abschluss verteilt in der Fischerhütte nochmal ein HP Procurve 2524 ein bischen Netz an die Surfterminals und die Leute vom ebenfalls dort beheimateten >L.i.g.h.t. Projekt."

And then deka came and created another drawing of the Live Streaming infrastructure:

New York this time... hmmm looks sweet...

... it seems that there people at the Nürburgring do have a problem with tree decimation... the over one year old Project Gotham Racing 3 Nürburgring had significantly more trees...

This is the Forza Motorsport 2 Nürburgring:

... remember when I had the exact same location pictured before in Project Gotham Racing 3:

Today ISWI starts for the ISWIsion and ISWIradio team!!

"From June 1st to 10th, a group of approximately 50 students of the university daily presents a TV show about this get-together with all its events and participants. Most of them are members of the student broadcast station called iSTUFF, a department of the Forschungsgemeinschaft elektronische Medien e.V. (FeM e.V.).
The ISWIsion studio is located in the Fischerhütte at Langewiesener Straße 22. The former glass manufactory is being remodeled into our media centre for the traditional ISWI. All shows will be broadcast live and in English via internet stream, campuscable on channel 3 and - for the first time - via DVB-T on channel 23 in the whole city zone of Ilmenau."

You can get the always up-to-date schedule here.

It"s available now! ;-)

There"s something great going to happen this summer. After the great experience we had with the DVB-T TV Station of the Maintech guys at the 23c3 Achim decided that it would be great to have such a DVB-T TV Station for FeM e.V.. He went through the hassle of getting a license and organized the needed hardware. Today one of the important parts arrived... but first a teaser:

Yes! FeM is going to broadcast 24 hours a day from June 2nd to 10th the ISWISION and ISWIradio via DVB-T on channel 23 (490 Mhz). Today the antenna arrived... this thing is humongeous:

Achim wants me to shout out to the partners of this DVB-T FeM e.V. project: Maintech GmbH and SR-Systems. Consider that done.

If you want more information stay tuned on technology-ninja. In the meantime you can read the press feedback:

This is just one of the 40 bottles now in my possession. They"ll probably will last just a few weeks but this time somethings different!

Thanks to the heroic work of some there"s now a distributor in Ilmenau for Club-Mate. That makes is a whole lot easier to get the beloved stuff.

We spent the last two days in Duisburg attending the Student Technology Conference 2007.

"From Software Architecture, User Interface and Robotics to Games Development with the XNA framework: in use and brand new technologies of the IT – industry will be presented and demonstrated at technologically advanced level. Microsofts Student Technology Conference is the perfect opportunity to engage with potential employers and to get in touch with Microsofts .NET technology.
