Current Conditions at the Observatory

Drops of Jupiter

The server is back online for a brief run at:
http://209.42.74.136

And now to tie up some loose ends:
I have officially added After Dark: The Star Trek Edition, version 2.0x to the software presently running on Dexter. The screen burn in seems to have faded and After Dark certainly solves the problem. It is also a great choice for our topic matter.

Next, I was able to get my film to a developer, but, alas, the pictures of Mars did not turn out. The computer at Walmart could not read the images either for prints or for a CD. I am keeping the negatives, however, in the hope that a real developer might be able to get some data from them.

Finally, driving home tonight, after I turned onto the country roads that take me to home (er, the observatory), I saw a wonderful, bright, flaming shooting star crossing the northern sky. About a second later, I noticed the song lyric "Did you fall for a shooting star" was playing on the radio. Certainly a low probability event.

At any rate, enjoy the server,
Mycroft
