Update (2026): Heima has since been rebranded to Famn®. This article is preserved for historical/archive purposes. TL;DR: Heima is a home management app I originally built for my family, evolving from a simple idea in 2012 to a fully featured app launched in 2021. It includes smart shopping lists, meal planning, chore tracking with XP, and more. Despite competition and personal…
It’s been just over a year since we were hit with the most heart-wrenching news of our lives: our precious little Ada, who was only 2.5 years old at the time, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We are facing another family crisis, the second one in a short period. Just the year before, I became ill and had a stroke after treatment from a chiropractor, a traume agains the neck…
As software developers, we always talk about feeling burnt out, having to constantly switch gears, and trying to keep up with all the new tech stuff. We’re always racing against the clock to get projects done, putting out fires, and sitting through never-ending meetings. Eventually, our creative juices just run dry and our drive starts to fade. This is where Codecation comes in — a dedicated…
When I started developing Famn, it was out of a need to simplify the chaos of family life. Between planning dinners, managing grocery lists, driving the kids to activities, and trying to remember birthdays, life was filled with sticky notes on the fridge, disappearing lists, and a collection of apps that never quite did what I needed. I wanted an app that could bring all of these tasks together…
I am excited to announce that I have finally taken the leap and created my first video on YouTube! It has been something that I have been thinking about for a while, but I never seemed to find the time or the motivation to actually start one. However, my recent hobby of flying FPV drones has given me the perfect opportunity to start creating and uploading videos. Flying FPV drones is an…
When I bought my house in 2013, it came equipped with a System Air ventilation system. However, the remote control was mounted on the first floor, and my family and I spent most of our time on the second floor. This sparked my interest in creating a mobile application that could connect to the ventilation system and adjust the temperature and air flow from anywhere in the house. At the time, there…

My son and I occationaly likes to play the simulator game Farming Simulator, and by inspiration of the Logitech G Farm Sim Controller I desided to build a joystick. This is the first step in making a controller unit for the game. Links ArduinoJoystickLibrary
I have been working on a photo-display project that will showcase photos and album art. In order to accomplish this, I needed to extract album art from the music that is currently playing. I decided to gather this information from Last.fm it is a reliable source that combines multiple sources of information. The project pulls recent tracks from Last.fm and distributes the information through MQTT…
Heisann! Welcome to my personal website, where I share my projects and thoughts as a software engineer. My name is Daniel Kaldheim, and I reside on the west coast of Norway. As a software engineer, I have a passion for creating and building things in my spare time. Whether it’s a new project or a hobby, I enjoy bringing my ideas to life through code or hardware. On this blog, you’ll…
Components that are harvested from iMac 27" 2011. The goal of this harvest is to see if I can reuse these components in other projects. The webcamera- and bluetooth-pcb came with the same wiring bundle. Webcam Purpose: Reuse this webcam as a USB webcam. I managed to figure out which cables was USB signals and soldered on the wires to a USB type-A. The camera works. Next step is to figure out…
