Time change for DSLR cameras

DSLR - time changeTwice a year it’s time to change the clocks. I do not want to discuss about sense and nonsense or it’s origin, but also make a lot more attention to an issue that I’m even gone “into the trap”.
Meanwhile the time change is not a big deal anymore, because – apart from a few analog watches and alarm clocks – almost any device changes its time settings automatically. So I thought at least until my holiday pictures showed up in a relatively strange temporal order. The reason therefore? One of my DSLRs hadn’t changed the time and I forgot to do it manually. And as this – according to Google – still concerns a lot of camera models, that are not able to automatically switch to daylight savings time, I wrote this […]

Update: Cloud Downloader 2.7

Cloud Downloader 2.7Just yesterday I had released the version 2.6.5 of the Cloud Downloader, because the downloader was broken by changes to the SoundCloud website. Unfortunately, I realized that the 2.6.5er update did not fix all errors and so that some links were still not working.
Therefor, just one day after the last release, I’ll present you another version of the Cloud Downloaders today. Version 2.7 fixes a few bugs ceoncerning the search function of the downloader.
In addition, the new version brings an improvement in the update window, that unfortunately displays from time to time outdated links. With the next update (the next time you’ll see the update window), this issue should be disappeared.
The new version 2.7 of the Cloud Downloader can be found as usual in the main article about the tool or via the link below.

Update: Cloud Downloader 2.6.5

Cloud Downloader 2.6.5Today there is again a small update for the Cloud Downloader. However, the new version is only an interim release with bugfixes. New features are waiting for you in the next release of the Cloud Downloader.
However, since there were changes to the SoundCloud website and the current version 2.6 has thus lost its function, I had to bring forward this release. The latest version for now is 2.6.5, which can be found, as usual, in the main article about Cloud Downloader. Please follow the link below to download the new version.

How to install unsigned drivers in Windows 10

For several days I am successfully upgraded to Windows 10. Contrary to the experience of some of my family members and friends, who got black screens or even a total failure while updating to Windows 10, my upgrade proceeded extreme smothly.

Since the release of Windows 10, a few steps in the click sequence have changed, so there is this follow-up article now, which describes how to install unsigned drivers on Windows 10.

Drawing 3D graphs in C# with ILNumerics

ILNumeric - different 3D plotsThis article deals with how elaborate graphs can be drawn in C# with the help of the ILNumerics class libraries – if requested the graphs can even be animated as well.
Similar to all of my articles on this blog, I will briefly introduce the library first, then I will obtain the necessary bases which are needed for the coding later on and finally I will show you step by step how to get there. Let’s start!
What is ILNumerics?
ILNumerics is a .NET class library that includes a number of components. The two core components are the Compute Engine and the Visualization Engine. ILNumerics expands the .NET-Framework by complex numbers, scalars and vector calculations, matrices and matrix operations, multi-dimensional data structures and much more.
Another advantage of ILNumerics is the Visualization Engine that makes plotting of two […]
