New Rockmite Programming Switch Prototype

First, a San Francisco note: On the rare occasions it does freeze here, all the rooves change color. (Normally, they're black.) The scorpion tail switch for Rockmite programming was getting cumbersome, so I finally gathered up my courage to intstall a video game switch for the functionality . It worked! The initial mockup of the Rockmite programming switch didn't get in the way of keying, (those are two screwdrivers that came with the RJ45 breakout boards 'holding' the swithc in position, (they're simply placed through the holes.) So, I wired the thing, and voila: The ergonomics are good. Keying took about five minutes to get used to. Switching frequencies and keyer speed is so my easier, even with having to reach across to hold the switch in position to use it in this initial prototype!

Gorgeous morning in San Francisco

 I'm having to figure out how to re-organize my blogging activities. I'm not posting to any social sites at the moment, consequently, some of my creative output has nowhere to go. But, there's a fix for that! Here it is. We had a gorgeous morning interlude between rain storms here in San Francisco, (Excelsior district to be specific)!

Snow was still falling along the E8 in Northwestern Norway this weekend, and the view was incredible! For links to the full sized pictures, just click the smaller images below.

Spring's Getting Here!

The weather's still trying to make up it's mind here in Stockholm. Last week there was snow on the ships in Ringvagen Chanel, but the sun was making its way back out by Saturday!
