We also have fizzygeek's Sirius satellite radio service working again. The original radio
(a Sportster 4) totally died after a couple of months, so she called for a replacement. None were
available, and Sirius would repeatedly say her account was in arrears, even though it was frozen
until a replacement radio arrived. One finally arrived, but lived only 2 minutes before losing the
ability to see its antenna. A third radio was finally shipped, and actually works. Happily, with all
the credits and free stuff she got as apologies, the next 6 month's worth of service only cost her a
few dollars.
I have been having fun playing with Legos Mindstorms and am writing control software for a Bitscope 40MS/s USB oscillocope and burning up all of my free time commuting.
