new.linuxfocus.org up and running 2005年12月09日 The new LF is now available at new.linuxfocus.org Hubert Kaißer died 2005年11月19日 One of the former translators of the German team died unexpextedly on 2005年11月19日. He was active in LinuxFocus for many years and was a very reliable translator. Our sympathy goes to friends and family. Goodbye Guido 2005年08月20日 After many years of very interesting work with LinuxFocus I (Guido Socher) will leave the project. It is difficult step because LinuxFocus was once my passion and hobby, so there are a lot of feelings involved, but I can't do it forever. I will move on to http://tuxgraphics.org. The recently started series on microcontroller programming will continue at tuxgraphics.org. There are a number of people who are willing to continue LinuxFocus. Write to new(at)linuxfocus.org if you want to join them. They need both people and hardware. During the transition LinuxFocus will stay online. To avoid that the existing site becomes unavailable while possible restructuring is ongoing the new team will settle first at new.linuxfocus.org . LinuxFocus has 12964 files therefore this seems the best solution. I wish the new team good luck and a problem free start Regards Guido Socher The articles Hardware 2005年09月29日 [available in: English ] A digital DC power supply -- part 3: command control from the PC, by Guido Socher A very small an really powerful DC power supply for your hobby lab.
