Intermittent problems are a real real pain to deal with… You are never sure what has caused them to fail, and then you are never sure when you have fixed them. (Un)fortunately, one of the units here has now got a permament problem so we can actually work on fixing things. Still, the results we are getting are really really strange. Thankfully all the issues are outside my control – and I am just offering moral support at the moment rather than being responsible for solving the hardware/software issues. As noted before, my part seems to be working well with the exception of some human factors on the user interface.

The low cloud has burned off but there are some rain clouds definitely around. They are a bit higher up and seem to be relatively harmless at the moment.

Right now I am looking into a valley towards the north… Just to get the imagery right there is a lake about 1km to the north of me, looking through the window, with a small mountain a bit beyond that. There are another couple of large hills or small mountains to the left, and a nice hill to the right. And everything is so green. I was walking in the grass bare footed a bit earlier, and it felt amazing. I could live up here if it did not get too hot and humid. Well, apart from being so far away from everything. It would be nice to go for a run around the lake but it is about 12km, and I am not up to that definitely. Maybe if I need to come up here again…

The air smells so fresh up here too. So sweet… And yesterday when it was raining it had that nice rain type smell…
