Centauri's Thoughts

Friday! Finally! And none too soon. Been a rough week since they changed the servers at work and made a total mess! Gee, lets change the machine name and top directory name.. do you think anyone will have a problem with that? Duh! only every automated program we have that transfers data.. Only every user program with built in paths! ding-dongs! and guess to got to FIX all the user programs... sheesh, like I didn't have anything better to do for 2 days.

Saw the Sunspots today through my solar filter for the telescope.. huge naked eye objects! The width of Jupiter (10% the width of the sun). Both 484 and 486 are big, bigger than I remember in times past.

Trusted Computing Initiative? I see that Gates is still trying to take over the world.. and this new TC (Trusted Computing) thing is pretty scarey.. good thing I run unix here, but this stuff causes concern for the PCs at work.

Robotics devel will gear up here again after I can save up for more equipment to test the new circuit boards I am designing. The bot needs better sensors than he has.. a few bumpers is not the way to see the world.. more like a blind man feeling around.. maybe cameras someday, Ultrasound and Infared definately could be useful.

November already (as of tomorrow) and a new year coming again.. time flies!
