HAPPY TURKEY DAY

well thunderbird finally passed my final stress test with flying colors

Accessed a mailbox I had not looked at since mid September. “receiving 1 of 11,213 messages” — 11 thousand messages, no lag , no problem.

Ion propulsion rocket gets to the Moon
and here

On a side note I am really happy ion-propulsion technology is finally getting some game time. I first heard about it several years ago at a conference for work and was very excited. I think [assuming red tape doesn’t get in the way] that this could help further our scientific exploration of outer space.

Brilliant!

The Debut of RoboDump 1.0

By Kevin Kelm (kkelm@triggur.org)

RoboDump is a robot. Sort of. And it poops. Sort of. Forever. A horrible, never-ending bowel movement complete with straining grunts, horrific gas, splashes, and pee sounds.

Here’s the soundtrack(lo bandwidth, mono– you people were crushing my quota. Hi version available on email request. :). The left channel speaker points up into the room (for the voice effects) and the right channel speaker points down into the toilet (for the business-end effects).

I snuck RoboDump into the men’s room at the office. Unfortunately, today turned out to be the day of a board meeting. Whoops! It still went over well; the office was abuzz all morning with gossip about the guy in the bathroom. Several people theorized it was the CFO. The janitor commented to someone in the hallway that he wanted to clean the restroom but “this guy’s been in there all morning.”

I also decided to dress it in businessware to make coworkers less likely to try to talk to it… if it looks like a customer or visiting bigwig, they’ll be less likely to offer help or ask for a courtesy flush.

“Did you know….??

The Washington Redskins have proved to be a time-tested election predictor. In the previous 15 elections, if the Washington Redskins have lost their last home game prior to the election, the incumbent party has lost the White House. When they have won, the incumbent has stayed in power.

This election year, that deciding game takes place on Sunday, October 31 … vs. Green Bay.”

Well tonight the packers won.
