[Friday:\u00a0 3 miles on treadmill; Sunday: 3 miles on treadmill; Today: 3.4 on the road]<\/p>\n
We made a 6-day weekend and traveled to the Houston, TX area late last week for an ultra at the Brazo’s Bend state park.\u00a0 Mrs. H ran the 50 miles in a bit over 15 hours, finishing slightly before the first of the 100-milers came through.\u00a0 I went back on Sunday morning to take down our awning and fold up a tarp, and it was getting toward the end of the allotted time and 100-milers were steadily coming in.\u00a0 They looked very tired.<\/p>\n
Also toward the end of last week there was an interesting set of posts on the time-nuts mailing list.\u00a0 They had been discussing WWVB and a new chip that is out which would replace the chip currently used in many “atomic clock” devices with better signal capturing capabilities.\u00a0 Anyway, one guy posted links to a file of sample WWVB data he captured over the air.\u00a0 Another guy then posted a short python script to transform that data into time, amplitude and phase figures.<\/p>\n
I downloaded those on to my laptop and spent some good hotel-time working up a short perl script to decode the phase data, deriving the encoded “minute” contained therein.<\/p>\n
Today I kind of fell off the edge of my success when I tried to capture my own data.\u00a0 I may give it another try tomorrow.<\/p>\n
But I also need to get back into the groove at work tomorrow and wade through the accumulated emails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
