[sdiy] [OT] I've been called away...

[Tim Ressel]

Hey all,

So I'm sitting in a bar and these guys holding laptop
computers and soldering irons come up to be and bonk
me on the head...

Okay, it wasn't quite a press gang. But it is a small
ship I've 'volunteered' to help with. A rocket ship.

They are called Portland State Aerospace Society
(PSAS), and their ultimate goal is to orbit a small
payload. Their immediate goal is to get a million
things done by the next launch date. I ask them to
orbit a small Casio keyboard as a sacrifice to the
Tech Gods, but they refused  ;-)

You can see their stuff at:

So I will be distracted for the next month or so
working on the avonics package. Here's hoping this
works out better than my last brush with sattelites
when I worked on the Iridium birds. You know what
happened to them... I will be dabbling with synth
stuff, but not much. I'll still monitor the list and
lob illogic bombs in the frey from time to time.

See ya in a month!
