eichin (Mark W. Eichin):
travel:
Back from California. Got lots of new toys. No more travel until 7/1.
Lots of July weddings though, plus teaching at Stanford...
Lots of bicycling as well. I may donate my car to charity in order
to stop paying the insurance on it, now that I'm convinced that
I can survive by bicycle.
toys:
The metricom "ricochet" modems are *amazing*. kermit is giving
me 1500-2000 cps for large file transfers, from around 750ft away...
and a large encrypted rcp (over CSLIP) got closer to 2500 cps.
hacking:
Beta testing "xtrkcad" -- a linux-X11 program for doing railroad
layout. Discovered that my existing N-scale track layout can't
possibly work (oops :-)
Trying to get ESS-688 sound support working in linux, for only one
reason: driving the headphone port so I can practice morse code
for my General Class upgrade (13wpm code (1B) only.)
Studying for my General class amateur license. 13wpm code is the
hard part...
so that's where my hp went:
* In December, the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration office in
Wilmington, N. C., made a public announcement that a valuable piece of
technology had been stolen. The head of the office asked the public's
help for its return, and offered a reward, but refused to identify the
object except to say that it was palm-sized. Said the supervisor, "For
security reasons, I can't say what it looked like." [The Observer
(Charlotte, N. C.), 12-5-94]
