Star Trek Google Doodle


I was greeted with a lovely little interactive Google Doodle this morning on the Google Search site. This is in celebration 46th birthday of the 1st Episode that aired on the 8th of September 1966.

The episode titled "The Man Trap" aired on NBC and kept going for 3 seasons and 79 episodes and got canceled due to low ratings. But the damage was done, planet earth now knew Star Trek and we would want more.

Netdata + SNMP + Mikrotik

Always wanted to see my Internet line usage as a gauge without having to log into the router.

CasparCG Simple Playlist

It is possible to build a simple playlist as a rundown in the CasparCG client. It will very simply play each item after each other that are on the same layer. In this very simple post I show how to build such a playlist including the very important step of activating the OSC.

The Open Sound Control (OSC) implementation is how the client knows what the server is doing and then being able to send new command back to the server when a piece of media has ended to trigger playback of the next piece. For more details on the OCS, please see http://casparcg.com/wiki/CasparCG_OSC_Protocol
