Vladimir's Tech Blog

In this post I tried to measure how well my blog is rating in the Google search results. As I promised, here are the results of the same test after 20 days of existence of this blog.

After first installation of T-90 Toroidal dish in Serbia, I helped my friend and college Davor Brajanoski to configure similar system for himself. However, in this case we had to put the T-90 dish on the roof of his building, and we were not allowed to drill the roof or walls. This requirement was imposed by the company who is taking care of the building, and we had to figure out what is the best way to install the dish. The pictures below show this screw-less installation.

In one of previous posts I described the setup of Wave Frontier T-90 Toroidal dish. Today I will focus on the configuration of 8/1 DiSEqC 1.1 switch for Dreambox satellite receivers running Enigma 1 (those are Dreambox 500, 5020, 7000, 7020 and 600). For the people who are installing the DiSEqC 1.1 system for the first time it might be quite difficult to quickly figure out how to configure their receiver to work with more than 4 LNB’s. I had same experience too, so I will write here small explanation how to do that.

It is exactly 10 days since this blog is online. Until now I posted 4 articles that I wrote myself, learned little bit how to optimize Wordpress and I tried to make few backlinks at couple of social bookmarking sites. Of course, idea is to get my blog as high positioned as possible in the Google’s search results. However, until now it looks like that only one of my 4 articles got indexed. I tried to check the position of my blog in Google search results for a few different keywords, and I found this great tool which saved me lot of time that Iwould spend for searching my page among Google’s result. The link to the tool is: [Read the rest of this entry...]

Ok, I hope that you have read the first part of my review already. You will not find here some detailed test of this device, like some pro guys are doing. Anyway, there are many professional reviews available on the net, and I am sure you can find them easily. Here you can see what an average user of point-and-shoot cameras thinks about Panasonic Lumix TZ-7. If you did not read the first part, you can find it here.

I am writing this article two months after the purchase date of the Lumix TZ-7. I believe I had enough time to figure out its pros and cons, and all together I can say I am quite happy with the features of the camera. Of course, there are some things that I do not like about it, but overall I find it to be great camera for average user who wants to have excellent still images and video capabilities in one box.

First of all, I want to tell readers that I am just an average amateur user of digital photo cameras. I have bought my first camera back in 2002, and it was 2 megapixel Canon A40. Since then, I stayed with Canon and have owned another two of their compact cameras – IXUS 430 (I lost it in some bar back in 2005) and IXUS 40 which I used until few months ago, when its battery cover got broken. At the time when I bought those IXUS camera, the primary feature I was looking for was compact design, so I could easily carry the camera in the jeans or shirt pocket.

It is very likely that Fritz!Box, VOIP router made by German company AVM is one of the most popular SIP devices in the world. At least, I am sure that in Germany it is very common and there are plenty of people using it. The quality and the feature set of the device is remarkable, but one of the reasons for its popularity is the fact that some of German ADSL providers were giving away Fritz!Box for free together with the internet subscription.

Few months ago I decided to install satellite dish at my parents’ house. The terrestrial antenna that they were using to receive local and national TV stations in Sevojno, Serbia was kind of problematic, as they were receiving signals from several different physical location, and it was impossible to pick up all channels with optimal quality only with one antenna. Of course, I am talking here about analog terrestrial TV, as DVB-T is not a mainstream in Serbia yet. However, we all expect this to change soon, as all members of EU agreed to stop analog broadcast until 2012, and for the rest of Europe, Middle East and Africa the deadline is set to Jun 17th, 2015 [Read the rest of this entry...]
