Darth Vader in my City
Sunday, May 8th, 2011
Captured with: Nikon D7000
Footage edited with: AE, PremierPro.
Glass: Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G
We had a guest – Darth Vader in our city. A famous one. Well known to everybody who loves sci-fi 
May 14-15 is a day when the Lithuanicon’2011 will take place in Hotel “Holiday Inn”. Do not miss that! 
This was a 2nd time when I used a tripod like a shoulder rig. I would side, it works like a charm!

Weekly Project: HudsonLifeSupport
Sunday, December 5th, 2010In short
Arduino based box is connected through the USB with the software module which periodically checks the Hudson job status and triggers the appropriate LED on the box. Software module is based on Java and use RXTX module for communication with the Arduino board.
What is the Hudson CI server?
“<...>Hudson monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron.” More details about Hudson can be found on Hudson WIKI
Hardware Required
1. Arduino Board
2. 10-kilohm Potentiometer
3. 7 segments LED
4. Blue, Yellow, Red LED’s
5. Few meters of wire
Circuit
Build story
This is a simple project to provide detailed build story steps. In short: potentiometer is connected to HudsonLifeSupport box to configure the timeout between the the status retrieval from Hudson server. While rotating the potentiometer 7 segment LED shows the number of time units to countdown. Moreover, during potentiometer rotation the HudsonBuildBox turns to the configuration mode. In case the potentiometer value stays the same for 5 seconds, countdown clock starts. When the countdown is close to zero HudsonBuildBox sends a signal to the software module to retrieve the build status for a configured target in Hudson CI server. Software module retrieves the build status thanks to Hudson XML API.
In case build is successful the BLUE light is triggered.
In case there’s failing unitests YELLOW light is triggered.
In case the build is failed due to compilation errors RED light is triggered.
In case Hudson server is not reachable for some reason (no connecion, server is down) all the LED’s turns to blinking mode until the Hudson server is up.
Code base & Arduino firmware will be posted to GoogleCode next week. Or if you can’t wait drop me an email with your question

Open air cinema / gadget soup
Sunday, June 13th, 2010Would it be possible to organize a cinema with a big screen, sound and no electricity around. And your equipment would fit in one pocket Yes. It’s very possible!
What you need is a mini projector, white wall or whiteboard (this one will not fit in your pocket), iPhone and a mini sound system powered by battery pack:
If you have all those gadgets, then you’re ready to invite your friends for cinema in open air:
SIV’2010 video material of Lithuanian paragliding pilots was more interesting than any football or F1!
Wanna build your own open-air cinema hall, then you will need:
Mini-projector: Cinemin Swivel Multimedia Pico Projector
External battery pack: 6400mAh External Battery Pack
Mini sound tower: Pleomax USB speaker
All those gadgets give you fun no matter where you are, and how far from power supply you’re. ~5 hours of fun without charging is guaranted.
Also you have a mobility with those toys in case of rain or fire
