General developments…

[today’s run: rest day.  did I mention yesterday was 5 miles?]

I decided yesterday to jump back into the BeagleBoneBlack and weather station stuff.  My unit here was running the weather station ok but I never had fixed up the boot-up stuff to start things automatically.

So I dug into that and turned out to make an even bigger mess.  I have decided to give up on the current USB/WIFI dongle I’m using and go get a different one that uses a more compatible chipset.  That should come early next week.  Until then the Columbus weather station is offline.

I put a temporary capacitor into the spectrum analyzer, enough of a fix to see that it works.  That’s a happy development.

We had a bit of a problem late in the day at the office.  The system got locked up because of a miscommunication with the disk array (sort of).  That gave all the users about an hour earlier end for the day.  It took about 90 minutes to get it going again.

And I’m working on a new phone.  My blackberry started having some problems earlier this week so they sent me a new android phone as a replacement.
