I just pushed pm5conv, a converter from Concept2 PM5 binary data to JSON, to my git server and uploaded a release for 64bit Windows to my projects.
Example:

(You should find the most recent version of this on my git server )
I recently bought a Concept2 rower and wanted to read the USB logbook data - unfortunately Concept2 neither provides a description of the format nor any Open Source or Unix software. I tried to figure out the data format on my own, then Ryan Moe’s work filled the gaps:
The data is split across two files, LogDataAccessTbl.bin and LogDataStorage.bin. The former provides information about the location of the actual workout data in LogDataStorage.
Each entry in LogDataAccessTbl is 32 bytes, multibyte entries are Little Endian:
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Magic 0xF0 |
| 1 | Workout type |
| 2-3 | Interval rest time* |
| 4-5 | Workout name* |
| 6-7 | N/A |
| 8-9 | Timestamp* |
| 10-11 | N/A |
| 12-13 | No. of Splits* |
| 14-15 | Duration/Distance* |
| 16-17 | Record offset in LogDataStorage.bin |
| 18-23 | N/A |
| 24-25 | Size of record in bytes |
| 26-27 | Index |
| 28-31 | N/A |
( * unimportant, because either redundant in actual record or unreliable )
| Value | Type |
|---|---|
| 0x01 | Free Row |
| 0x03 | Single Distance |
| 0x05 | Single Time |
| 0x06 | Timed Interval |
| 0x07 | Distance Interval |
| 0x08 | Variable Interval |
| 0x0A | Single Calorie |
Each entry in LogDataStorage has a header and a number of splits or intervals. The header size is either 50 bytes (workout types 0x01, 0x03, 0x05, 0x0A) or 52 bytes (others). The size of each split frame is 32 bytes for all workouts except type 0x08, where it is 48 bytes. Multibyte entries are, contrary to LogDataAccessTbl.bin Big Endian(!)
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Magic 0x95 |
| 1 | Type of workout |
| 2-3 | N/A |
| 4-7 | Serial number |
| 8-11 | Timestamp |
| 12-13 | User ID |
| 14-17 | N/A |
| 18 | Record ID |
| 19-21 | Magic 0x000000 |
| 22-23 | Total Duration |
| 24-27 | Total Distance |
| 28 | SPM |
| 29 | Split Info |
| 30-31 | Split Size |
| 32-49 | N/A |
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0-18 | As above |
| 19 | Number of splits |
| 20-21 | Split size |
| 22-23 | Interval rest time |
| 24-27 | Total Work Duration |
| 28-29 | Total Rest Distance |
| 30-51 | N/A |
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0-18 | As above |
| 19 | Number of splits |
| 20-21 | Split size |
| 20-23 | Total Work Duration |
| 24-27 | Total Work Distance |
| 30-51 | N/A |
| Bits | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0-6 | year after 2000 |
| 7-11 | day |
| 12-15 | month |
| 16-23 | hour |
| 24-31 | minute |
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|

| 3 | SPM |
| 4-31 | N/A |
| Byte | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0-1 | Split Duration/Distance |

Enjoying the refreshing 4 degrees Celsius in my little gym, borreliosis recovery seems to be going reasonably well - loglift up to 87.5 x 5:
I wrote a little program to set up mailing lists and newsletters without too much hassle: picolist
I did not want any additional software written in C or a scripting language on my mailserver, which ruled out all popular solutions. All I wanted was a reflector - one address that spreads the message to members - anyway, so GNU mailman and the like would have been big solutions to a fairly small problem.
picolist will work with mail transfer agents that are able to forward incoming mails to programs via UNIX pipes and which provide the sendmail command. This is the case for sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim and probably most other MTA software running on UNIX and Linux systems.
Da ich einen Vertrag bei o2 habe und damit seit gut einen Monat ohne DSL bin, habe ich ein Programm geschrieben, das stündlich eine Liste der aktiven Freifunk-Knoten von Freifunk Hochstift mit Adresse aus den vorhandenen Koordinaten-Daten zusammenstellt. Eine Suche auf der Karte macht mit einer gedrosselten UMTS-Verbindung z.B. wenig Spaß, daher die aufbereitete Textdatei.
[Update 16.12.2017: Der Kartenserver von Freifunk Hochstift ist seit Freitag morgen ausgefallen, daher gibt es auch bei mir momentan keine Aktualisierungen.]
