DeSIRE test flight on 24 April 2013.
The DeSIRE (Demonstration of Satellites enabling the Insertion of RPAS in Europe) demonstration project is a joint ESA-EDA initiative carried out by an international consortium led by Indra. It is aimed at demonstrating the safe insertion of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) in non-segregated airspace using satellites capabilities for RPAS command and control, ATC communications and Mission data transfer to ground, in order to satisfy the needs of potential user communities. The demonstration is carried out in Spain through several flights using a RPAS (Heron 1) providing airborne maritime surveillance services to the Spanish Users involved in the project.

All Saints, Earsham, Norfolk
Like neighbouring Ditchingham, Earsham is saved from being mere suburbia by the way the lazy Waveney sprawls, forcing water meadows between the Suffolk town of Bungay and its Norfolk adherents. Unlike Ditchingham, Earsham has a feel of remoteness; it is neatly bypassed by the road from Diss, and you wouldn't even know that Bungay was there, the illusion is so complete. Mind you, there are far worse towns than pretty Bungay of which to find yourself a suburb.
While Earsham successfully retains the feel of a small village, there can be no doubt that All Saints presents itself as a big church. This again is something of an illusion, sleight of hand if you like; the nave is quite long, but there are no aisles, no clerestory.
The chunky 14th century tower is surmounted by a rather squat spire, one of few in East Anglia. It is this, coupled with the substantial chancel, that creates the feel of a sprawling building. Stepping inside there is no doubt that length is the over-riding feature of the structure, the almost tunnel-like nave leading the eye into the bright, majestic high Tractarianism of the chancel.
But before that, the font. Earsham has one of East Anglia's thirty-odd seven sacrament fonts, but is rather different from others I have seen in that it is slim, with portrait-shaped reliefs. This require some simplification in the iconography, the Last Rites and Mass panels in particular being awkwardly squeezed into their spaces, but there is no doubt that this font is a most elegant example. The eighth 'odd panel out' is the Crucifixion. The whole thing is in excellent condition, and really deserves to be better known.
The collection of foreign glass in the east window is interesting. It was brought together here in 1810 by Samuel Yarrington from the import warehouse of JC Hampp, as at a number of churches on this side of Norfolk. The most striking panels are the death bed scene on the north side, which I take to be the Last Rites from the seven sacraments rather than the Dormition, and a very strange panel on the south that appears, at first, to show the Annunciation - but the woman at the prayer desk with her back to the angel is clearly not Mary, but probably a donor.
The four roundels of the Evangelists are probably by Yarrington himself. They're a bit mawkish. Their symbols, obviously tame, look on adoringly like pets at their masters as the four men sit there writing; but the whole thing holds well together.
William Windham, the recipient of the grand memorial on the nave wall, died in 1730 having lost a limb in the defence of his country, which obviously leaves us wanting to know more.
All this apart, you come to Earsham for the glory of the late 19th century Anglo-catholic revival. Reginald Hallward's reredos features the Adoration of the Magi as well as groups of plump-cheeked, kitschy angels. Mortlock thought well enough of it in the 1980s, seeing it anticipate the work of Ninian Comper (who was busy near to here at Eye, Lound and Barsham) but today, in the early years of the 21st century, it is just about in the very peak of modern Christmas card fashion. It would be interesting to know if Hallward used children from the village as his models.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. Technicians in the Orbiter Processing Facility work to install the Remote Manipulator System (RMS), also known as the Canadian robotic arm, in Discoverys payload bay. The RMS is used to deploy and retrieve payloads, provide a mobile extension ladder or foot restraints for crew members during extravehicular activities; and to aid the flight crew members in viewing surfaces of the orbiter or payloads through a television camera on the RMS. The arm is also serving as the base for the new Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS), one of the safety measures for Return to Flight, equipping the Shuttle with cameras and laser systems to inspect the Shuttles Thermal Protection System while in space. Discovery is scheduled for a launch planning window of May 2005 on Return to Flight mission STS-114.

TV will never be a serious competitor for radio because people must sit and keep their eyes glued on a screen; the average American family hasn’t time for it. ~Author Unknown, from New York Times, 1939
WTF ?
When flying I usually book the window seat. Although I am pretty tall I always prefer to squeeze into the window seat in order to enjoy the view outside. While for the most time this is rather boring, sometimes it all fits. Nice soft light and amazing landscape patterns.
This place below is somewhere in the middle of Newfoundland, Canada on a flight to Newark. It's so remote that I could not even find a street close by. So I wonder how many humans have ever visited this place.
Picked myself up one of the Nike+ Remote Control watches. Now I don't have to bend my head round to my arm to try and use the touch screen on my iPhone 3GS when I am running.
At ECR Dhaba…..We have a all new ECR track 1
for Kids n Adults likely....In other words.... 6 to 60 yrs..
Our Remote controlled cars are waiting for you....!!
Only at ECR DHADA....
MUTTUKADU!!
ECR!!
I considered repurposing a nano case for the remote. zCover also sells a case made specifically for the remote.
My second iPod "Remote + Earphones" pak. My old remote is okey, but the old earphones are borken, and so are the original earphones that went along when I bought my iPod...

My friend Elise made the bowl for me, and it's just perfect for storage and display of the sexy wii remotes.
Two days ago we moved from a big quiet 4br house way out on Long Island into a tiny 1br apartment closer to NYC for a few months. Doesn't sound like much fun, but on the plus side there are some *pretty* decent views, which are even better from the roof of the place. So I went up there tonight and took some shots of the Empire State, the skyline, the Queensboro bridge, the subway, the traffic, and of course the trains. Mike Johannessen showed me his panning setup a year or two ago and although I don't have the gear, I thought I'd steal the idea on a few trains coming out of the East River tunnels and heading out onto Long Island or to Sunnyside for turning and stabling. Result: a few wobbly, dark, bad pics. Then this guy showed up - maybe he was transitioning from third rail to onboard diesel power because his pickup shoe made a big flash before he came slowly into view. Then he flashed just as I pushed the shutter which lit up the dark loco and everything - wow - did I get that? I like taking remote flash pictures, but this was the remotest one ever. Handheld 1 sec at f 3.2 ISO 160 200mm if you're taking notes!

A good fast road.... the road South is after another 36min..
look up a slide from 1965!!!
Sometimes the stupidest possible thing works. We have to carry arround these lame RSA tokens to get into the corporate VPN, but like every tech person in SF, I'm already carrying my iPhone with me.
I tried to take this one step further and OCR the digits with various linux CLI tools because that would mean I could simply curl the required digits from a webpage and pipe them into the SSH login script, but it kept getting confused on certain numbers. I suppose one way to go about it is to sample the pixels for dark grey vs. light grey at each of the 7 points of LCD and then make a lookup table for each of the digits, but that's about when I started getting bored with the whole project.
ESA's Volare Space Robotics Challenge finals at ESA's technical heart ESTEC in the Netherlands.
Seven teams were invited to the finals to battle their remote-controlled robots on a mock-up of the International Space Station. Their mission: to unload as much cargo from ESA’s Automated Transfer Vehicle as possible in a given time.

The Pentax 6X7 Remote Battery Cord. It has a 1.25M cord and a remote battery compartment enabling you to pocket the battery in sub-zero temperatures. It only fits the first versions 6X7 (not the 67II).
It also enables removing the battery, when you are taking long exposures at night and the camera is mounted on a tripod (remove the battery while exposing, after the triggering of the shutter and then return it to close the curtains again) to save battery power otherwise drained during the exposure.
