Wordpress2Doc 1.2.0.0 - All-in-OneToday, there is again a small software update. Since yesterday, namely the new version (1.2..0.0) of my software “WordPress2Doc” is available for download. In addition to a bug fix also two small new features are added.
For those who can not remember what WordPress2Doc is good for ot those who are new in the “code-bude.net”-community, I’ll explain the benefits of Wordpress2Doc in a few words.
With WordPress2Doc you can save any (as well as many) articles and pages of a WordPress blog as a Word document (.docx) and as a PDF file. So with WordPress2Doc you can, for example, back up your blog posts, print and prepare them for other use cases.

HP N54L ram upgradeIt is a while now since my first article on my homeserver was published. Nevertheless, I promised that more would follow, and thus now follows the second article in my series on My Home Server.

In this article, we extend the RAM of 4 GB (which was installed in my type of server) to 12 GB. However, since the cover of the N54L is very small, this is […]

Arduino KlatschschalterToday, there is again a small Arduino craft project. This time, following the motto: “Soon it will clap, but no applause!” Because when you’ve finished reading the article and clap your hands, then your lamps should switch on and off.
The project originated from the (presumably nerd-specific) “emergency”, in which I found myself for some time and which looked like this: You want to go into the bed at night, but firstly you must turn on the light of the bedroom to be able to find the switch of the bedside lamp. Then you switched on the bedside lamp and run to the bedroom’s door again to turn off the bedroom light. You already notice the bedroom light is really just a means to an end.
As a clever computer scientists and hobbyists, one feels as though their relentless […]

Remote access Fritzbox answering machineEveryone of you may know the following situation. You are waiting for call but have to leave your home.
