Letter to Santa

[AScherff]

It looks like the crisis reached the North Pole as well. All you can offer is an EisBär! but they are free at the North Pole

EisBär is dangerous Polar bear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EisBär is dangerous

Vielleicht weiß er das gar nicht, denn ich glaube fast, er wohnt nicht am Nordpol, sondern da wo es Berge gibt und Käse und Uhren...

Stimmt, die IP stammt nicht vom Nordpol

Was ist nur aus den guten alten Rentieren geworden?

Vielleicht schreibt er ja von unterwegs? Er sagte doch, er sei "very busy"...

Und es könnte wirklich so sein, dass er gerade bei uns im Land von Heidi und Geissenpeter ist. Denn wir haben "Chlousertag" und meine Frau hat gestern im Einkaufszentrum einen Santa gesehen, welcher Kinder beschenkt hat ;-)

Stimmt, könnte sein - InternetCafe vielleicht oder UMTS sei Dank
Oder er hat gerade Geschenke bei einem unserer User (einem der brav war ) abgegeben und durfte dort mal den PC nutzen

Hey Santa,

when I looked a the picture of your posting, I was quite sure, that you must have one of the hardest jobs of the world.

Hi Olaf, you are right, this was such a hard job... And after done work, I go sleep for a while...

Goodbye to all my friends from this forum: perhaps we see us Christmas...?

Christmas 2010

Dear Santa,

How is life at the North Pole ?
I hope you have had a nice summer holiday.

Just to remind you that Christmas is a little 3 month away and mhmmm .... maybe you can have a look on my wishlist ? again ?

You don't remember ? No problem, it's still the same as last year (as you didn't fullfill any of my wishes ).

• I wish you could make my HomeServer to be programmed like any other computer on planet earth (and kick the crummy Python out).
• I wish you could make my HomeServer act as true KNX router (instead of this crummy implementation).
• I wish you could make the HomeServer much cheaper, so friends and relatives can buy one too.
• I wish you could provide me with decent Web statistiques, so I can check who visited my Visu, for howlong etc, just like any other Web server on planet earth.

I'm still a poor and lonesome boy, even more poor than last year since the french government is raising taxes.

I've been gentle and nice all year long, kept my big mouth (almost) shut, I've been reading the forum every day, haven't bothered the admins too much (except NilsS, but he deserves it )

In the mean time, it has been "raining" some updates for my HomeServer, each time I run and check the changelog, but nada, nothing for me .

So, dear Santa, I've to turn to you again, hoping that you can do something for me this year. If you could bring me just one feature, I would love to have my HomeServer act as true KNX router.

Please don't send me an EisBär! I'm sure it's a gentle animal, but I've already a dog and a golden fish (and my wife ).

Thank you in advance, dear Santa.

[MatthiasS]

Great

But please tell me, why this:

If you could bring me just one feature, I would love to have my HomeServer act as true KNX router.

Maybe the true-knx-router-thing is something wonderful, but I don't see it. Am I stupid? Blind? Could there be a famous feature and I forgot to put it on my whislist? Maybe, if there are two of us....

Please tell, what will the router-thing be good for?

A Swiss Eisbär? No, That is impossible. Swiss shot at Braunbär and actually they shoot Wolf. Eisbär exists only in Zoo!

I'll do my best to help you

Am I stupid?

Not sure, Matthias, not sure, I'll check

Blind?

Yes, definitely, with closed eyes, you are blind.
What about opening them from time to time

Could there be a famous feature and I forgot to put it on my whislist?

Could be I forgot to tell you ?

Maybe, if there are two of us....

Given your "size", you already count for two

Please tell, what will the router-thing be good for?

Isn't it a pitty to have to install yet another device/PC (and all the related constraints), with Linux and eibd just to have the routing feature ?
Knowing that the HomeServer has already 80-90% of the needed infrastructure ?
Isn't it frustrating to have a 1.750€ device and ressort to a free (public domain) product to benefit from a missing feature ?

What about putting the discussion to neutral ? and start a poll (don't know how to do that, but I'm sure a friend could take the initiative). With questions like:
Who is eventually interested (nice to have)
Who needs it (needed)
Who is absolutely not interested (no thanks)

Maybe the poll could bring a definite answer to those open questions ?

PS: Isn't Santa the appropriate place to ask for the most irrational things
