Published 8^th June 2021 by Jon Scaife & filed under Wordpress. Last updated 28th January 2024.

I have spent quite a lot of time optimising the performance of this site, and as part of ongoing work I monitor new technologies that could help improve the speed for visitors.

0 Updating QT Lite & QuickTime alternative

Published 4^th March 2013 by Jon Scaife & filed under Codecs. Last updated 25th March 2021.

I’ve long been a user of QuickTime Alternative, as a much lighter alternative to the full Apple QuickTime. Sadly QT Alternative (and its cousin QT Lite) hasn’t been updated in over a year, whilst QuickTime has received several security and bug fixes. Updating QT Lite is a straightforward process which I will detail below. I have also built an updated installer which is available on the [intlink id=“741” type=“page”]downloads page[/intlink]. This installer is based on Apple QuickTime 7.7.3 (28-Dec-2012)

0 Getting old scanners working with Windows 10 64bit

2 Set up “home assistant” on a windows PC

Published 20^th February 2018 by Jon Scaife & filed under SmartHome & IoT. Last updated 21st June 2021.

As I’ve written about before I have a range of “smart home” devices that I’ve been gradually experimenting with. One of the greatest frustrations of linking some of them is that many force you to go via “the cloud” which even with high speed internet can lead to delays of multiple seconds for some tasks (“ok google, mute kodi”) for example. I’ve decided to give the free “home assistant” a try. As usual with anything linux based, getting it up and running just isn’t straight forward. Here’s how…

3 Cheap WiFi SmartPlugs with SmartThings

Published 17^th March 2018 by Jon Scaife & filed under SmartHome & IoT. Last updated 2nd February 2024.

SmartThings compatible smart plugs are annoyingly expensive — typically around £40. This is far too expensive to consider buying many of. There are however WiFi plugs available online for around £10 that don’t officially work with SmartThings. Most of them are based on the ESP8266 chip which can be reflashed with new firmware that will work with SmartThings. Below I document my trials and tribulations with hacking these plugs
