I just got off a conference call to the USA. I ended up being on the phone for a touch over two hours. This is one of two board meetings a year that actually takes place, with a mailing list used for the rest of the time. It was a call with TAPR, a wireless non-profit R&D organization that has proved that many technologies used today in the wireless world actually do work. <\/p>\n
They asked me what sort of Pizza they needed to order for me, but found out that Sydney was not in their normal delivery area. And I was so looking forward to having some. <\/p>\n
The call was interesting, although I cannot say much about it. One thing that I did hear an update on was SuitSat – the Satellite in the SpaceSuit that I have spoken about here before. This is almost complete, although I am not sure when it will be ‘Lauched’. The satellite is being launched to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Bauman Technical University in Rusia. <\/p>\n
My software for the tracker is getting closer – I made a very small change this morning. It was adding a position report when it connected to the network. But I worked out that this was not really needed since it was already sending enough information back since it had to need to send a position. Small change, but important. <\/p>\n
I am feeling a sense of acomplishment about the tracking unit – getting the hardware and software to this stage has been a hard slog, but it is there. Anyway that is enough of a break from work – time to do some more work…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
