What are the "Original problems"? This started off with an upgrading avg issue, and moved into a "Turning off Norton, things work" issue. If you're experiencing slowness with Norton enabled, well, yes, unfortunately Norton is a VERY proc and memory intensive application, and I pe...

11/9/2008 I took my wife to the discover scuba quick tutorial session at a resort down the street from ours. We were met by Alex (Alejandro) of PV Scuba (http://www.pvscuba.com). This guy was very professional. He spoke with Tina, and sat her down with another guest to begin the training. He went th...

Commercial diving view... I had harnesses with no BC bladder options. When I dove dry, it was nice to control them to make my midwater jobs easier, however I always thought "Gee, it'd be nice to have a BC/wing for this shite." when I was upside down, watching my steel toes boots drop past ...

After a stressful night transiting back from Mexico, you flash your wife the "are you okay" tap on the top of the head across baggage claim, and she responds.

Sorry, just got back, and was stoked that she got it right away. 0]

Thanks all!

I ended up going with Alex (Alejandro) at PvScuba, and it was a pretty awesome trip. 100.00 each, and she got a $25.00 pool lesson.

She loved it!

You lay down on the escalator so you don't wreck your horizontal ascension record.

...It is very possible that with the right combination of personnel & dive conditions, this experience may end up costing you a lot more than you anticipate. With the full open water class & all the shiny new gear you'll be buying for your wife upon your return! That is the plan. 0] Allthou...

When in an elevator, you hold the door open on a floor between 10 and 15 for a safety stop. Your dive computer costs more than your home computer. House repairs usually involve a D-ring, locking clip, and at least one bowline knot. your bath tub is filled with Dive fins, a drysuit, three different m...

Thanks!

Foiled!

It's a great looking box, fo sho. The price kills me though.

Can I borrow one indefinitely? Hack out a module for it or something? 0]

Wow.
So in the User control panel, where you set your time under board settings, to UTC Pacific Standard Time, right below it is an option "Summer Time/DST is in effect: yes/no".

Awesome.

I've never come across a board that requires the user to set that. Crazy. 0]

Huh... Looks like there is either a special port open, or there is a "submission" Trojan horse on the server:

445/tcp filtered microsoft-ds
548/tcp open afpovertcp
587/tcp open submission <---That one.

.... 0]... I love you.... (Too much?) So the server needs the updated patch applied, or should be on a Network Time Protocol server that updates appropriately. Sounds like someone needs to send out and email. Oh, and there I go thinking that Windows is user friendly again. That's what I get for not ...

The server should update it automatically. However, if the server does not have time zone data that contains the US 2007 DST changes, it will not update on the proper day. This looks like a hosted windows server, so it should.

True....True.....

Leaving tomorrow. I've convinced my wife to go on a discovery dive, so she can see if she likes it, however the one site I found (PV Scuba) is $115.00 (150?) to dive her, and 85 to dive me with her (as I'm the licensed one). She has concerns about this, as do I (I did a discovery dive with a friend ...

Let's get drunk. It'll start to make sense then!

PS The driver seems to be on the board. It's Parallel/Serial Driven.

Ben, Thanks! I've bookmarked that screen. That is awesomely bright, and I don't want to look like an X1 clone (Not that I'm going to get to their level anyways), but The brightness of that screen alone may be worth it. I have looked at the 4d systems LCD's. Those look great, and interface pretty dec...

Yes, Keeping it cheap is the option for now, so starting out with what I have will be best. I'll use gcc because it's cheap, AND one of the best. 0] Also, trying to remain open source, a gnu compiler is definitely for the win. Thanks for the info, I'll move on to a 16 bit later. 8 bit for now is fin...

For the PITA board size issue part, are you using an Arduino? There are variants of it that are TINY. All you need to do is add the customized elements.... Let's see, the smallest one is: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8824 (There's a smaller one, but it's designer) An...
