X10

Well, my X10 light switch stopped responding to commands from the remote today. I have others that can act as replacements, but that means shutting off the power to this room and losing my 145 day uptime. It still functions as a normal light switch...

Camera

The camera, amazingly, is not broken yet ;) I've been taking several pictures, mostly of Jenna. I've been babysitting her from 15:00 to 20:00, which can sure feel like a long time.

I think I'm going to write a program soon to take the images on my memory stick, figure out which I have not saved to the computer yet (if any), preview them, and let me specify where they should go. It would also support auto-renaming of the files. It's too much work to sort through the new pictures I have taken and then manually move them and rename them.

IRLP

We've been setting up a small Linux box for the Internet Radio Linking Project, which links up Ham Radio receivers to the Internet world-wide, so that people anywhere can listen in on conversations and participate in them. I have not studied Ham Radio much, though I hope to one of these days. Last night, I contacted the people over at IRLP to setup our node. They seemed hesitant at first, since we were using RedHat 7.3, and they only officially support RedHat 6.2. However, I assured them that I, unlike many of the node owners, have a lot of experience in Linux, and could probably fix whatever goes wrong. So, he set it up last night, and aside from a minor configuration issue (which I believe to be fixed), everything is almost ready to go.

Begin your trip East. See pretty lights in Tokyo. Grow old and wonder about yesterday.
