Unwrap prezzies, Daire got tractor&trailer, train, more lego, .... Little guy loved it, opening all the wrapping of presents, tractor was definately a hit (it's got a trailer and has some engine noise & lights and has one of those momentum wheel motor thingies so it keeps going when you push it).
Out in Cobh with Pauline, Mary, Bill, assorted boyfs. Santy came, a bit tipsy after the pub ... but he managed to lay the stuff out okay. There was a mango and an avocado in the sock though!!! A bit of a rush job if you ask me. Must've been late on in his rounds.
Grep web for harmonica stuff for Bill. Quite an interesting instrument really.

Back to room, I pack, cramming everything (neatly of course) into suitcase and into car and check out while Daire & Fionnuala go to the playroom (deserted). Then we all go for a nice long lounge in the pool. Daire likes it - quite warm water, he's also enthusiastic about jumping in! Hands on to Fionnuala at the start but kicks and swims just holding hands after a while.
Walk into town to get edibles ... meet many people on the way ... late eating but we survive .... then we set off . 2:30 and Daire has a long needed sleep. Sun sets very yellow in longford? somewhere. Home just before 6. Unpack car, get some food, Daire to bed, tiredly TV, tidy, bed.
Very quick car trip - just up the road - handy parking ends up close enogh to side door close enough to room. Our room is ready but many aren't .. Bronagh comes up with us - I unpack while talk and Daire plays. After all unpaking & cleansing etc ... these's only a small time left for a quick explore of the hotel. Then into suits etc ... Daire ready for bed, calmed, read to and he's actually sleeping by the time babysitter Rebecca "don't worry, we've done First Aid" aie! Arrives (young but very nice).
Down to dinner, stuff ourselves with food, miss speeches while getting Cris Kindle presents, Daire is up, tired, watching TV quietly ... he likes Rebecca ... whew! :) Back to remenants of dinner, mad scramble with presents, got chocolaters- Fionnuala got kite & mentoring book (serious!?) Join in with gambling after a bit. Fun time dancing etc .... VERY hard to lose. We find the edge of a table ... ?Leslie is the croupier ... much fun had. In the end F&me pile all chips into one hat and get a BIG cheque $3.3 million & a very little cheque $25. the little one proves a winner of a stereo & wirless headphones ... well, hardly wirless --- transformer & 12VDC wire, recharging wire, audio basestation connector. :)
Head back 2am - Daire's asleep - mmmm - collapsement.
Dinner out again - in the Chinese - I persuade Fionnuala to get one of the set menus with me so end up stuffed again. Daire gets chips & nuggets but prefers more the spare ribs, and other chinese food. Lovely to eat out though. It's a bit long for Daire who want's to escape by mid-main course. Fergus & Ken & .. are eating there too. Daire gets lollies from the staff - likes them. Back to hostel, this time F&myself read after Daire goes sleeping.
Arrive just after 6 - check hostel by railway then central town.
Out for dinner above the pub on the corner.
Wet rain and a bit windy out so we don't spend too much time looking.
We're the only ones there cause of the weather, nice American waiter guy serving.
Lovely seafood chowder, steak+aubergine+parmesian special for me.
stuffed
all of us - Daire ate lots of his penne pasta.
I ate loads of veg. Fionnuala had hake - nice fishy.
No coffee/desert, creditcard machine glitch - Daire runs around a bit while waiting.
He likes the place, nice windows to look out at the wet & lights at.
Back to hostel, bed for all, Daire objects a little (lateish (9) to bed but he had a good long sleep in the car) but settles okay. Loud cursing feckers f*&%ing each other out of it next door later wakes F&me - hmmmmm ... dodgy.

Home, Daire doesn't have his nap untyil about 4 when I take him for a walk in the high wind! We head off to Sheilas for dinner .. Daire sits up on a stool at the table, he likes dinner but likes the tempting cookies better. We play with toys a bit dinkys and lego), ... lots of talk, then we give Eoghan a lift home to Ringsend.

URGH! I SO need anftp/sftp2 wrapper .... Xceed does it for winNT environment but it would be so lovely to be able to open something across ftp in emacs/vi/whatever. Addition to mount? Call it mountain (as in climbing the ftp/get/dosomething/put mountain). More of a hill/bump climbing utility really. Hurmmm ... could we script it? If it was like mount => certain operations would not be good to do .. eg ls -R, ... Prbly intelligent to hack it into mount .... but then only available for linux/systems people have admin access to. ... how about something like viftp or visftp or um ... getputftp ftp.xs4all.nl something like expect?pap?chat? run command sftp2 somewhere, when get login: prompt user, when get passphrase: prompt user, then do get whatever wait for ... spawn editor/whatever get/put whatever/cd wherever wait for ... done.

Played SimIsle demo on pc - fun.
Home, very dark these days, windy this evening, collect Daire and we put bike in shed, go inside, change boots for shoes, remove coats ... all in order ... and then Daire heads to fridge and grabs a huge youghrt pot. I fill a cup with the yoghurt for him to eat while I start on dinner - potatoes, carrots&cale, cauliflower&cheese, fishfingers. Daire also has cheese yum! And half a banana eaten with yoghurt.
Daire is busy in bathroom playing with his latest favourite - sink with tap gushing water plug&unplugging stopper. Fionnuala gets home late (CMM Assesment started in Clonskeagh today). Nice dinner, then Daire ready for bed and I get a lift to the 46A which I catch just then.
Play with Palm on the way in, I find Rafe & the other dsp-type people and have some Plain, confuse S3 people looking for Dave, then wander with Gloria & Colm down to basement where the gang has collected. Chattin with Keith/Fiona/Colm/Damian/Dave/Bronagh.... upstairs again after a while and very pleasantly surprised when Fionnuala arrives. Doozer she knows too, back down - Tony/Colm/Damian/Fiona/Brian/..... Dave is dancin with Gloria .... finish after 4 plain and some of an extra Damian got when he ordered their "finest". Car down the quays, we get kebab & chips & coke in Aberakebabera - YUM! Martin's up when we get home ... and Daire has been awake a little.

Solar tides & sunspots cause maybe by
Venus-Earth-Jupiter heliocentric syzygies. Yes, ... syzygy, cool word huh?
Interesting, ... OSI supplement on the Irish Times. And I think they've the tides wrong. Bad, huh?
AIE! Orla asks wasn't I on the Java course?
She gives me a lift down the road to the ICL building.
Interesting - 3 days course. Fun to play with Java ... and satisfactory to mess with it. We did a wee sketch applet/application and played with pretty pixels mainly.
Mon - rush back to S3, check for GPRS SRD, review it Thursday, collect Daire,
he's a bit cross - food all refused - he likes a bath though.
Enhanced pizza for James & pasta for Fionnuala.
Instruction on rigging, the sail, stance, going about. Point of force on sail, keep body facing it, keep weight down and back. Old sails not firm so F moves about => unstable. New sails - tight & flat on top => get F as stable as possible. Arms even balancing on either side of F. Practicing going about ... still quite off balance but speed makes it better. "Make thre leap luke" (but keep balance at the same time) keep weight down before going about sail across, foot all the way round the mast, then GO! (or unexcitedly goto stable position for a wee bit)
Fionnuala & Daire explored Malahide Demense. Found a nice walk with cool assault thingies every so often. Food & soup very welcome on the way back being driven by Fionnuala.
lift to 46A, walk through soccer crowds (IrlvTurkey 1:1) to Beggar's Bush to meet Waider. Walk around towards town until we find a pub we can get into, meet Mick Parle there, then head back to the Wellington. talktalk Dermot has a 3yr old in Waterford, he's doing accountancy exams up here. After total of 3 Guinness we head home ... I hail a taxi on the road towards Donnybrook.
Up 5:1?something. Guhhhh. Dressed, thrown together bye kiss taxi 5:30. DUB6:00 DeutchMarks Sabena Ticket - no hope for direct Dusseldorf. Checkin. Bewlies bkfst + coffee. Favour Irish times next to a mother + 3 yr old daughter at back of plane. Belgian family with 2+ish guy in front. No brekkie - just juice & coffee. Hurry through Brussles (LOTS of it) to Sabena gate - which is delayed - onto bus out to planes on tarmacadam (which we'd passed close to). Straight out Dusseldorf & connect w Marina + ready. Train to Dusseldorf Hbf then to Cologne Hbf & Bonn. Met friend of Pauline's, apprentice electrician in Cologne on train. Sr Xavier. Colman Lee Barry. Marina kindof like Noleen confiding strange stuff on Randy - though he is a bit funny. Taxi to Klienwinter TMobil office in Datacon building.
Michael Schramm nice SESA guy installs OMC everywhere. Herr Thomson. NMC TMobil guy - doesn't say much. Network problems all day - config NSAPs - 40 char hex numbers. Marina drives all day - I start to get vague idea of what is going on. Problems think due to router but Randy heads away so our OSP/OSI networking expertise is lacking. Do learn a bit though - crash course :). 2morrow hunt systems/network TMobil guy down. OSI/... In Nbg Michael setup NMCIntf on pervious test system. Nbg SV network experts/monitor lan and debug our problems? Marina will talk to Philip. Lift to hotel - walk in town - Indian restaurant - very nice. Walk back window shopping and past the "posh" UN hotel. Phone Fionnuala - nice. Daire was looking for "James". Now 10:30. TIRED! Brekkiw tomorrow 8:30.
NMCIntf, org Bonn trip, GPRS stuff - Paolo Scapin comes from S32 and I take him over intro to Lucent GPRS. He's looking for a house, now in Donnybrook and needs to live in Sandyford. From near lake Garda near Austrian border in Italy.
Lucent link down all day. Sort out ANOTHER y2k problem in MRS - this time in the perl. Why they need dupl date handling is a bit of a mystery to me - I hacked the Javascript down and if had more time would simplify the *&#! out of it. Retrospectively of course I understand why dates were done in javascript ... and then in perl too.
In afternoon meeting with Ian Finnerty in Lucent Bray about GPRS. John someone is the next person to get in touch with. Final arrangments with Marina. Coffee with Paolo and Enrico. Jim & Ruairi & Brian & Philip in meeting but I don't hear about it. Paolo brings me home ... all the way ... nice for me.
Tidy leaves outside, manage to integrate most with compost heap heavily disguising it. Daire looks on from his dinner chair + we play a bit. He comes out to batter me with leaves & throw some around & climb tree. Excess leaves squeesed in corner behind Eucalyptus and jumped on. Daire is quite fun & nice. Then bed.
I stow stuff. Futon, suitcase in attic + retrieve travel bag. Pack some clothes, fold lots of others, Fionnuala irons, busy pack, busy tea, bed, book taxi, shower.
F & myself go mad. Hack the top off the eucalyptus, mow lawns, cut brances from the tree out front. Daire gets up and joins in the fun. Fionnuala heads shopping. (shoes? gets nice jacket in Blackrock) Daire and myself convert the eucalyptus to logs and twigs with bowsaw and snips. We make bows - poor Daire falls on sticks and scratches his eye. Then we get a BRILLIANT idea!
We decorate the hall for Halloween as time is getting closer to 6. Red shirt on hall lamp, lamp in red treasure chest. Eucalyptus leaves are transferred to hall and stairs. Lovely JUNGLE feeling. Daire is thrilled. Looking good now.Still no sign of Fionnuala/sweets. We throw peanuts + apples + oranges in big bowl and put it down the end of the hall. Make popcorn too - just in time - people call. But the back is open and it is quite windy and Daire's hand gets slammed in the door. OW! :-( Poor guy. We put anti-bruise acriflex on it and console him while fending off the first lot of visitors.
The visitors all like the leaves - scary & cool! Fionnuala comes home when Stan & Keith & Conor call. Whee! Leaves everywhere. F brings Daire to visit Assumpta and she comes back to see leaves. Martin laughs at leaves too. Enough popcorn - bowl left - no olive oil/fruit. Pile of leaves in hall - bitof a mess but good FUN.
In afternoon visit to St. Enda's Pearce's Museum (school). Flew kites - blustery - FRUSTration :-(. Went to Nutgrove, Argos + got shelves for Daire's room, home via newly opened green route.
Now there' a request for NMC Interface y2k report and testing - agh! Test Javascript for MRS, dates beyond 2000 get reported as 100. (netscrape 4.03 PC and ? on zeus) I can fix that, maybe it would be best in perl? Keep the config page stupid & simple - hack out all the horrible half-wrapped/derived date object and functions.

Summarise GPRS work in the morning in an email, there's a request to travel to Bonn next week to support NMC Interface - AIE! Not sure ... Marina would be going too ... what could we do over there if everything _DID_ go okay? Various news through the day but nothing definate by hometime.
I do be checking Marina's MRs and actually find something that could be a problem and also have some cosmetic tidying stuff.
MRS checking - there's a y2k problem in it. I loathe the obfustication I see initially ... feel there's no need for such complexity ... fear it's just me applying the Programmers Stone (on chap 5) just a bit.
Rush home to get Daire - no further news on Bonn - twist ankle on Leopardstown's heap of earth. Cook omlette for tea, have bath with Daire - much splashing. Then bed for all of us. We get up later for tea and toast before bed again.

Friday home lateish, not off to Limerick .... thought we weren't going. Start out about ? 11:00 ? cross day, horrible kiddie tape on radio. McDonalds food in Roscrea. Fry for dinner in Limerick. Daire doesn't go to sleep easily ... Fionnuala heads out with Ruth & Maureen and comes back and we've a nice warm cuddle in bed. Yum.
Up 8:20 with Daire after he persuaded me eventually out of bed. Breakfast for us & cats, play out on the wet lawn a bit with his wellies. Eoghan & Mary come for dinner ... Daire dines early and heads for a nap. Out that night ... Daire goes to sleep a bit easier, after he drops off I sneak out. Off to Dolan's to meet Ruth & Gorman. Great debates as usual with Ruth. About .. hmm ... paragliding/kiting/parachuting, dinosaurs?, Cork/Dublin/Limerick living, driving/cycling/bussing. Back to Ruth's house, dogs, CENSORSHIP (From Dusk till Dawn) ... controversial ;), ... .

quotes from GPRS contract:
The parties agree that if on 1 October 1999 Ericsson fail to deliver the GSN and MS needed for integration of the BSS with the GSN parties agree to the following:
The right honourable people, as these are:
Dr. Krath, Alexander Urban, Martin Feiderhoff
agree to dye their hair to Lucent red colour. They also agree to have the colour stay for 3 days subsequent working days. The dyeing will be celebrated in the T-mobil canteen by an independent professional hairdresser.
lucent red heh heh :)
Fionnuala visits woodies, I ? busy until Daire gets up. Daire and I make pancakes and we all eat them (with gusto of course).
We cycle off looking for Blackberries and get a very small amount in a field near Keith Greenan's house before we head home. Stan and Keith & Conor are flying their kite very high and so is another Dad and kid so Daire and myself head off out with our delta to join the fun. Fionnuala visits Assumpta and Emma. Kite flys really well, tangle lines at the end with Stan's. Daire and Conor find a nice rock to clamber on and seem to like the tall (& wet) grasses.
Off we go to Cornelscourt for a big shopping trip, back home later where we have dinner of bread and salad. Then Daire heads off to bed and we follow after ... Friends/..

We always managed to limit luggage to roughly the boot=trunk
of the (SMALLER) "european cars" (ford, toyota, ... er ... European, yes, right.)
(although you probably could hire a larger car we find the
challenge of packing everything into a restricted space (and then
digging in it for the rest of the trip) just too much fun).
We've been recently converted to using just one large suitcase (for all Mummy & Daddy's stuff and baby clothes) and a bag for everything else (besides small bags for everyday nappy/food use).
We refuse to tote the travel cot any more, where
the hotel doesn't provide one then rearrangment of furniture
and blankets into baby-safe sleeping area has worked out fine.

Suddenly busy after lunch with TMS and putting results in, meeting persons to get presentation ready. Home, dinner, Martin calls over about furniture, Daire plays with me - is excited but goes to bed for Fionnuala okay (lateish). Tired - shave - bed.
Daire was contemplating photos of me. Contemplatively. And kissing them, ... thinking about it. Very cute when experimenting with new things - new clothes pegs opened and played with. Studied.

Neal Stephenson, In the Beginning was the Command Line. & Mother Earth Mother Board Quite engrossing. He headed off around the globe during his holliers following the Fibre-optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG) project ending up in mad far away places running after the village of cable layers as they dug their way across maylasia or on the barges landing cables on shark-infested beaches in Hong-Kong. Alongside with that he has quite a developed insight in the way Telecomms is all moving these days.

We intended going diving with Mr Waide but it was a bit windy&wavy. We meet up with waider, snack, observe waves and two lifeguards attempting to canoe-surf. Then meet Patrick next to high round tower on hill where mobile phones are happier. We decided we'd prefer not being battered off the rocks so we went with Patrick to Ferrypoint (across from Youghal) and went out for a trip on the river.
We rescued a foreign windsurfing person and then went for a pint up the Blackwater. Well, some fising persons pointed us in the way of someone who looked in trouble ... it was very difficult to spot the guy sitting on the windsurfer with all the waves around. It was quite messy trying to get the guy and his stuff into the boat ... his arms must have been quite tired ... anyway ... got him a rope then tried not to batter him with the boat and pick him up. We eventually manage ... getting slightly wet ... and manage also to tidy the gear a bitso the throttle has room.
Nice Guinness in Villierstown. Mellow brrrmmmmm up & down the river looking at the various castles and egrets. Herons fly like they've had a dozen ... the egrets are smaller and a bit more elegant.
Daire spent the day on the farm minding his Granny, driving the odd tractor (they were doing straw). We came back before his bedtime to a deserted house so we got in the bedroom window. Mum&Daire & Mary arrived back from town with videos & R? Daire ready for bed goes straight up with Fionnuala.
Heat Lasagne/Fish Pie, make salad and have tea when Fionnuala comes down. Then chat ... paper reading/video watching till late. See the end of Ronin and see the entertaining whole of Rush Hour
SETI connects happily BUT I get data errors :( proxy mangling the data? :( work.txt looks fine but I might get waider to send me one for comparison.
This is not a bug in seti software ...
it's a proxy problem ...
but there's an easy enough workaround that may be useful
for othger people behind a proxy.
I'm getting the following error:
Getting data - connecting to server.
HTTP Header received: HTTP/1.0 200 Ok
............
Receiving data: 330K
Receiving data: 340K
All data received.
Scanning data file
Error reading data: -23
Bad file header
It looks like the proxy is adding a header to the work_unit.txt file.
If I chop this header out (tail -b +11) then setiathome
starts processing next time it's restarted.
Here's the header:
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 356411
status=0
major_version=1
minor_version=2
major_version_comment=
minor_version_comment=
message=
message_url=
end_reply_header
So basically I've a script to restart seti@home after chopping the
first um, 11 lines from the work_unit.txt. This might be
helpful if it was added to the known problems/solutions?
I've just started running setiathome-1.2.hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 on a HPB180L on hpux 10.20.
(in work .... and on a win/linux pentium @ home :) ))
Oh yes :) .... and the Choose OS pulldown doesn't include a
HPUX or an Other entry on http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/bug_report.html
