Nova showed the B-29 Frozen
in Time episode again last night. If you have never seen that episode I strongly
suggest you track down a copy. Very memorable. Even more so if your a aircraft geek.
I’d explain what makes it so memorable, but that would kind of ruin it.
Watching it the second time is kind of depressing though.
Updated the Japan Air site
with some new new photos
taken by a pro. Forget the guy’s name at the moment. Pretty nice photos.

Just before lunch, had a bizarre conversation. In a manner of about two minutes the
conversation went from “whats that cable for?” to a discussion of kernel internals,
the ntp protocol, military time servers, rudiments of gps tech, details of the
rs232 protocol, a definition of “phaselock”, cable laying tips, irq latency,
etc.
Kind of a Zorn Game
piece of a conversation.
Probably have lots of conversations like that, but don’t notice it. This
one kind of stood out because after the subject blitz, I still didn’t
know what the cable was for.
I didn’t do much this weekend. Watched a lot of news on tv.
Did manage to work on the current “big” drawing for 8
hours or so. I think it’s close to finished now. Kind
of in the stage now where I stare at it for a while trying
to decide if I should stop now, or work on it for another week
or two.
Already discovered another obscure rpm bug this morning.
Apparently comparing an epoch of “0” and no epoch is
a bit wonky. Not that an epoch of 0 makes much sense,
but…
