  1. Wrapping up 9-day road trip to Silicon Valley... excited about getting back to work on Nomadness, Polaris, and the move.
  2. Visited BEHEMOTH (my bicycle) at the Computer History Museum... great to see it, as well as their amazing collection.
  3. Turning back north after a few whirlwind days in Silicon Valley... time to begin long winter stretch of boat geekery.
  4. New Outback FX2012 inverter/charger is installed on the boat and working nicely. Peripherals on next work trip; old Prosine goes to trailer
  5. RT @EVDOinfo Cradlepoints for Clunkers: Trade Your Old Router for an MBR1200: http://bit.ly/23rFQA <-- trading in my Top Global MB6800
  6. My Passion piece (Heart of Nomadness) on Thrilling Heroics blog today: http://bit.ly/4bVmwM - thanks @codymckibb
  7. @jeffdeham No IM, Jeff (though sometimes people catch me on FB). Thanks for the link to A Long Walk - http://bit.ly/2oHl0h - very engaging
  8. Good mobile lab progress - AC & DC breaker panels, AC meter, and 30-amp power entry are in; next is inverter/charger and battery bank.
  9. Technologic TS-7800 has arrived for the ship's Shacktopus server; good to have that decision behind me! Beautiful little thing.
  10. RT @DeepPlaya You are mad scientist & sailor all in one <-- Thanks! I always have the most fun when combining passions.
  11. As the circle of light increases, so does the circumference of darkness around it. --Einstein
  12. @DeepPlaya Yes, there's a Shacktopus post here: http://bit.ly/27Bg5h - A new post is coming very soon (lots of changes since then!)
  13. Naming the ship's embedded system (and associated network) "Shacktopus" in honor of my aborted 2005 project. Ham/marine/leggy... it fits.
  14. RT @bre Beautiful. http://bit.ly/3HjjaI
  15. The first hole is always the hardest - just drilled a 3" monster in the nose cone of the mobile lab for 30-amp power-entry.
  16. RT @talktweetmeme Xeni on Rachel Maddow Show: John McCain vs. the Internet - Boing Boing http://retwt.me/1nfbR
  17. @va2phl Yes - the 7800 details will be blogged in progress, then pub'd as a monograph and the book. Having a ball with the design!
  18. AC hardware ready to drop into mobile lab: Marinco 30A entry, Blue Seas panel, local GFI, meter, cabling. Will be nice to have light!
  19. RT @tigoe Dear #sunmicrosystems: please cease and desist from your cease-and-desist against SparkFun. You're being absurd.http://is.gd/4y2mX
  20. My TS-7800 for the always-on ship server is now on order! Another intense learning curve is on the horizon... # bit.ly/1Jsuw1
