Hi,
OK So I have just added a full Lcars Interface to my Computer. It's not a new one either but it's still the best I can find for Windows. http://lcars-terminal.net
Lots of lcars themed stuff and a great Control Panel replacement. I was a little unhappy about the lack of imap support in the email (PADD) module. It does though have a great ton of data on trek in the databases.

Web Development
Lately i have been doing a bunch of web development. Not the flat text files all in html stuff but dynamic web pages in a portal with Java, JSP, html, javascript in the front end with php asp, vb, .net, fortran and c as the backend (and sql, ....)
Quite different then the regular write in C stuff that i have been used to. Juggling 10 languages at the same time for the same proiject is a bit of a headache. (now was that strip or split or toArray that i wanted to use in this function, Oh ya this one is the while not eof ...)
I was showing a fellow worker what i was doing and I think it made his head hurt, he had to sit down. It's cool though, jetspeed and apache and tomcat4 as fronet end then a php apache server as middleware and linux backend with IIS and asp with vb, vbscript and fortran with a smattering of C on the Windows side.
Both sides have databases off on other machines, postgresql, mysql, MS SQL ... and old fortran code compiled to a dll with vb. net wrapping it to make it web visible.
I am also writing some of the pages as WAP interfaces to applications on the mainframe, it's going to all just click over like it was made to fit.
Starting tommorow I am in another office with all of my main systems back in my regular office. I put xandros on the laptop to test it and see how that works. i will be using tight vnc over a vpn to access the desktops back at the office and away we go.
Just have to love this stuff it lets you do what you want from where you want.

Borg goes to a wedding.
My neighbour's kid is getting married and because we are so close to them we are up to our ears in it.
The latest thing is the photog called and won't be able to get there so the borg to the rescue. With the latest eye cam and a good connection we will be recording the wedding to disk across the net (as well as using the 35s and hi 8 vid.)
Got to go get film and batteries. I use 35 still because even with my best camera you don't get the clean picture you do with analog.

More hardware.
My freind gave me an old broken lcd screen for a security system.
i am trying to fix it and then see what I can attach it to. I am thinking some sort of display for a robot. it's 12 volt, and stabdard tv signal. (NTSC)
Should be a fun project.
