Nokia 6303 Half-Life backgrounds
Being a Half-Life, and most recently a Portal fan, I decided to create some game themed “corporate” mobile wallpapers for my new Nokia 6303 cell phone (and also to celebrate my first phone to have a display with colors!).

Computer desk keyboard lighting
For late night study sessions (or weekend movies) in front of the computer I wanted some light that lets me see the keyboard and provides some ambient lighting without it shining directly into my eyes. I solved this problem by mounting a 8W T5 fluorescent tube lamp facing backwards towards the wall onto the keyboard tray.

Computer PSU silencing
My roommate’s server was a bit louder than what he wanted so he asked me to if I could help reducing the noise a bit. By far the loudest component being the constant speed PSU fan I decided also make the RPM adjustable so we can fine tune it to an optimum speed resulting in proper CFM and reduce noise levels.

Batch scanning script

To speed up the process I wrote a simple script to make batch scanning easier.
