When I woke up and checked Flightradar24 this morning, I almost jumped out of bed; an Airbus A330-200 operated by the French Air Force was scheduled to depart in the afternoon.

The map feature in ADS-B station is nowhere near as good as tar1090.

Last Saturday was a wonderful day in NUE in every respect.

My ADS-B station instance uses rclone to back up its data to MEGA.

I often jokingly refer to my aircraft photography activities as Flug und Fraß ("Airplanes and chow"), because that's exactly what it is: I capture airplanes and enjoy whatever food I either bring with me or find nearby.

I've deployed Note Mark for all my note-taking needs.

I love food.

I strategically filed for two vacation days, extending my break to six days.

The last few ADS-B Station updates were minor — a tweak here, a fix there.

And so it's happening: Lufthansa has started phasing out their Airbus A340-600.

Easter break didn't go as planned.

Last Saturday, I spent a few hours migrating from Shiori to Readeck.

It's Easter break in our neck of the woods.

This Rocket Yard article led me to the LeaderKey app for macOS.

Pushing data to and from your Android device requires a dedicated app like FolderSync.

I didn't plan to go to NUE on Wednesday.

Last Saturday, my wife joined me on my weekly pilgrimage to NUE.

OK, not quite, but close enough: it has a horn after all.

We spent a week in Denmark, taking care of, um, things.

I bought a ZTE U10S Pro 4G mobile hotspot, because 1) I don't like to use my Fairphone 5 as a hotspot, 2) there are times when I need to use several devices when traveling, 3) it was really cheap.

Sometimes flight schedules are as predictable as the copy dialog in Windows, which adds a modicum of excitement to the aircraft photography pursuit.

Another weekend, another trip to Frankfurt am Main.

Friday evening, my home server became unreachable through its domain name.

> Depending on how you count, there are just two to four builders of large commercial aircraft (Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, and now COMAC). [...]

Lieber Mensch!

With a couple of right cables and adapters, you can stream the video output of a camera to an iPad.

I was entertaining the idea of taking a day trip to either MUC or FRA, but my plan had been foiled by a strike in all major German airports.

When, if ever, do I get tired of jalapeno bagels from Der Beck?

There are three main reasons why I prefer buying used DSLRs rather than spending money on modern wonders of photographic technology.

Two days before we went to Frankfurt am Main, I bought a Tamron 100-400m F/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens.

That damn flu!

I'm always fashionably late to the party.

Google Translate is great, until it's not.

Nothing lasts forever, including laptop batteries.

I'm still a wreck, with no improvement in sight.

Yesterday, I uploaded 500th photo to Aircraft Photography.

I wish I could write something coherent, but we're still recovering from the awful flu that hit us last week.

After a fairly unproductive weekend in NUE, both yours truly and his lovely wife are down with the flu.

After a quick Sunday breakfast, I wanted to work a bit on ADS-B station.

Another day, another tiny feature added to ADS-B station.

It didn't take me long to whip up a PHP script that generates a page with a random photo picked from the data/photos directory.

Last weekend has been a busy one — in a good way.

It's all started with me sorting through the books on a bookshelf.

I didn't want to go out this weekend, so I spent most of it working on ADS-B station.

In itself, an Airbus A330-300 is not something particularly exciting.

I added three lines of code, and a popup for each airplane on map now displays its photo, if one is available in the data/photos directory.

When aeroTELEGRAPH shared details of a trip they were working on, it sounded like a too good of an opportunity to pass up.

A while ago, I cobbled together a lightweight alternative to tar1090 for use with ADS-B station.

If you happen to own blink(1), you'll be pleased to learn that you can use it with ADS-B station.

Recent ADS-B station updates were mostly minor ones: a fix here, a cosmetic tweak there — that kind of stuff.
