another recent distraction

[OT from cottage renovations]

not all of the recent distractions have been work related, nor even local. 

last month's run out to Santa Barbara provided a bit of exposure to the SCS-128 protocol.  the gear then went N to Roseville where it has found  a good  an excellent home.  initial fieldwork performed there by others had provided a solid starting point and the logs from the current round of investigation have been quite helpful in expanding our understanding of operations there.

none of this would have been possible without gracegiver's interest in and enthusiastic support for this collaboration.  I've never even been on the ground there; she's done all the scouting while I sit around here demanding more logfiles and coming up more places for her to go out and verify. 

pending some equipment upgrades and network configuration changes she might even advance to feedmaster.  now that would be so cool if it ever had to have a chance to happen.

Oh, yes. You're such a tyrant. Demanding, yelling, insisting on your way.

Mr. Mellow.

I'm just about ready to give up trying to explain the attraction I have to these little blinking lights on my monitor. My friends wrinkle their noses and then stare at me with this confused look on their face and mutter nothing more than, 'Uh-huh. Whatever ... ". I'm only trying to answer their question of "what's new, deb?"

And just think, six weeks ago we both thought we'd be pleased as punch just to hear some beeps from the radio. Who'd have thunk we'd get this far! The hurdles were reduced to moguls. Team work, my friend. Good old fashion team work.

ah, but like what happens with the mama bear and her cub you've never tried to put yourself between me and a data source :)

• it would be: ugly.  very ugly. 
• it wouldn't be: safe.  not at all.
