Mac troubles

Well, I’ve tried reducing the power on the wireless network to 28mW from 70mW, enabling Bluetooth Coexistence, moving the cordless phone and putting some white paper underneath the mouse. I’ve not had the keyboard drop out tonight, but it isn’t a perfect mousing experience either. More tinkering needed.

Imported some photos to iPhoto. I can’t seem to zoom into them and it imported circa 800 items from a directory containing 1200... yet more tinkering.

I did fix the calendar on my iPhone by finding out which entry had a start date after the end date though. Tinkering successful!

I did decide that I liked MacJournal enough to buy it though :)

MacJournal

I’m going to give MacJournal a try now that I have a Mac sitting on my desk at home. It is certainly prettier than Journal4 running under Windows. It is also more journal oriented than Notebook. I have 15 days to see how it goes.

Finishing CryoSat

For the last several years, I've been working on the IPF2 software for Cryosat. Well, I think that I just finished it. Tonight I did a test compile of the final release to fix the problems spotted in the test meeting this week. Everything seems to be fixed. I'll sleep on it, check again and then the next stop is the launch of the satellite this autumn and the start of the commissioning phase.

It looks like Monday will be the first day in over a month upon which I will do no Cryosat related work.

Blogging from Word

Word now has the ability to post to a blog. Why on earth would I want to use it to do so, apart from trying it out this one time?

XEPC for EEE

Going to try XEPC and see if that works, because that will give me Wine and a newer OpenOffice in one hit.

Posting these from The Journal .. mostly seems to work...

The experiment with the EEE didn't go so well.

The experiment with the EEE didn't go so well.

• Tried installing wine via adding the repository directly
• Then added a bunch more debian repositories from somewhere
• Did an upgrade all...
• Filled up the 4Gb disk and nuked the system
• Restored from DVD
• Sighed and went to bed

My first attempt at using my EEE 901 with Wine to run the journal. Seems ok so far.
