meta-markup: 0
Didn’t really do much this weekend. I had brought some equipment home from work on Friday to test out in the cold over the weekend. We’ve taken a D-Link wireless camera and stuck it in an enclosure with a heater and a fan. We wanted to know how well it would work, so I [...]

Forty Two

I guess most importantly, Andrea and I are no longer together. I suppose that was to be expected, since she moved out of the apartment last month, and didn’t even want me around on New Year’s Eve. I’m not terribly happy about it, but she needs to do whatever she needs to do, so [...]

SimPro Goes to Vermont
Well, half of SimPro, anyway. Mark and I went up to Boltonville, VT today to scope out the location of a potential customer. For this place they want to use a wireless camera to see the top of the dam from a computer located at the bottom of the dam. Today we just setup one [...]
