64 Bit: The Final Frontier – Slides From my Presentation at PubForum

64-Bit Windows (X64)
Published Jun 10, 2010 Updated Oct 26, 2010

Only a few days ago I attended PubForum in Frankfurt - a weekend well spent! I had an altogether good time and very much enjoyed meeting so many great people. I also presented on the topic of migrating to 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 and XenApp 6, a task not to be taken lightly. For anyone interested, here is the slide deck I used.

Fast & Silent 5 Watt PC: Minimizing Idle Power Usage

This micro-series explains how to turn the Lenovo ThinkCentre M90t Gen 6 into a smart workstation that consumes only 5 Watts when idle but reaches top Cinebench scores while staying almost imperceptibly silent. In the first post, I showed how to silence the machine by replacing and adding to Lenovo’s CPU cooler. In this second post, I’m listing the exact configuration that achieves the lofty goal of combining minimal idle power consumption with top Cinebench scores.

Scripted WordPress to Hugo Migration

Scripted WordPress to Hugo Migration

After having published in WordPress for almost 20 years, it was time for a change. This site is now rendered by Hugo, a static website generator built for Markdown content hosted in a Git repository. The migration from WordPress (HTML) to Hugo (Markdown) was far from trivial. Since I couldn’t find any tool for the job, I developed my own set of migration scripts that fully automate the migration process. You can find them on GitHub along with extensive documentation.

Mitsubishi Heat Pump Data in Home Assistant via Modbus

This article shows how to get detailed information about your Mitsubishi heat pump’s status and operations into Home Assistant. Prerequisites You’ll need a Mitsubishi Modbus interface, either the older A1M (serial Modbus/RTU via RS-485 only) or the newer A1M+ (Modbus/TCP via Ethernet in addition to Modbux/RTU). I’m using the Ethernet variant.
