I saw this O2 sensor simulator on Hack A Day and remembered talking about something similar on /., so I thought I'd post it here.

Just came back from Riga, Latvia. A beautiful place, but the pike conference I went to was really tiny and I spend 4 days in a room in the Latvian University.

Riga is really cheap - not just because the boss was paying. Beer is 1Ls., approx 1.20 EUR, and food is between .50Ls. - 4Ls. And Latvian is pretty easy to read if you have a basic knowledge of Northern European languages as it's Indo-European.

Yesterday a friend of mine found 2 Performa 475 while cleaning out his storage space, knowing I like really high electricity bills he gave them to me to play with. I quickly discovered that neither of them have network capability, unless you count serial/modem. So I will probably hook them into my internal POTS for network access.

I do have one slight hurdle, neither have a CDROM drive. And as I want to put linux on them this might be a problem as I don't have a SCSI CDROM drive. I thought it should be possible to install the required MacOS9 bootloader from floppy and then install a ppc linux base system from a x86 machine. I know it should work, I just wonder how much trouble it would be cross installing the machine.

I was 30 on the 23rd and I got:

- 3 packs of smokes
- an out of tune electric piano with a broken leg
- a packet of chocolate cookies
- a poetry book
- a board game with sheep
- all the beer I could drink
- some money for my new shelf system (very expensive)

I want a violin too... :(

Been playing around with a pre release version of Amie Grid Calculation Engine, made by the guys from Recursa. The current front-end application is an Excel plugin allowing the calculations to be done by the Grid Engine.

As new toys go it's really fast and fun, once you are connected to the Grid Services. I had to learn all about Narada Brokering so I understood what the communications did. This because they've asked me to build an AJAX front-end, attached to the broker. Then it can easily be intergrated into webapps.

I'm messing around with my Technorati Profile, I did find something cool: claimID.

Hey, it's not like I needed an ego boost. ;)

I've always loved myYahoo for it's configurability. I've loved the idea ever since I saw the BBCi TV site - sadly no longer running afaik. Then today I was looking at myWeb and found this site Google U.S. Government Search .

I love Yahoo!, but I think this configurability is really cool!!!

In the JE " Journal Protection in GreaseMonkey ." I wrote about this script which saves your JE's if you've previewed them once. When I went to edit it I noticed it was buggy - not the code mind you, the include page URLs didn't cover the pages the JE was posted to. That's fixed.

I actually noticed it while adding a feature to save the last comment made. I might add a save last 10 comments feature, in the future.
