Welcome to Mich's not-updated-in-a-hundred-years homepage

After some "discussion" about the old MCP server, the admin team has moved this server to a new home. My old homepage is also back now. But the cotent is still the same old thing... Albeit also available over IPv6, for a change.

What you can find on this site:

• DVB-T channels in Luxembourg

  While researching media center PC's, I needed DVB-T channel and stream IDs for Luxembourg. While channel info is readily available, the details of the MPEG-2 Transport Streams are not... and you need those for manual tuning.

• My Linux projects

  I'm spending most of my free time hacking around on various linux projects. This is mostly about running Linux/PPC on my PowerMac 7500 and on my TiBook.

• Running Linux on a PowerMac

  A quick selection of Macintosh-related Linux links:

  • Linux/m68k: Linux on Motorola 68000-based machines
  • MkLinux: Linux on Nubus-based PowerMacintosh computers
  • PenguinPPC: Home of Linux on the PowerPC platform
  • LinuxPPC, Inc.: The first real distribution of PPC Linux, now defunct. The link points to the last copy in the Wayback Machine.
  • Debian: My favourite, installed on all my recent machines
  • YellowDog

• A driver for the PlanB video input of the PowerMac 7x00/8x00 series

  I would like to watch TV under Linux as well ;-)

  Starting with version 2.2.8, PlanB is part of the official Linux kernel sources. However, the version in the kernel sources needs some overhaul. I suggest applying patches.

  The patches are updated for the most recent kernel versions (2.4.16 kernel.org and 2.4.17-pre1 (benh's tree) ).

  Later 2.4 kernels should not need patches. 2.6 kernels were never supported, and PlanB has been marked "broken" and later removed. By now (2013), that's really not a problem anymore, there are many far superior Linux video solutions available, and I don't expect anybody to still run a 7x00 PowerMac.

  I'm proud of my father's work... And your webmaster helped a bit, too.

  In 2015, the whole family hiked around the Mont Blanc in France, on the famous trail "Tour du Mont Blanc". This blog counts our adventure.

This is not kept up-to-date regularly, and serves mostly my own purpose.
