29 entries on my voice telemetry chart, the first on August 4 at 10:47 UTC (Mission Elapsed Time 967). On August 9 I got MET 8166, but a week later MET was already resetting during eclipse. Last voice heard January 3 at 21:19z (MET 51), with my first IHU report exceeding 50 degrees.

43 entries on the CW chart, the first on August 18 at 00:30z, the last January 3 at 21:20z. Copied 16 callsigns (and ?3IOR), some of them multiple times...

RF ranged from 305 to 541 mA.

54 frames on the data chart, putting me in the sagging middle of DK3WN's list (261 submitters).

Scatterlings aplenty. Now what to do with them?

When you pop the rig when pressing the mic key. #fml
Plus the SW80 final replacement did not make a change.
Hoping that digital interface works swimmingly.

Alright, time for another CQ.

From the Second Chance Shoppe, October 2011

Overall too ornate in the vocal styling, which doesn't equate to emotion in the storytelling.

Side 1 is barely tolerable, with the possible exception of "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight."

Side 2 has "Hitchcock Railway" grooviness and "Hi-Heel Sneakers" sultriness, helping lift the album... but not enough to keep it from going back where it came from.

5 years 18 hours is the age of this user account. It's my Drupal anniversary! Was just wondering last night if I should abandon it.

Second annual pilgrimage to the Portland Expo for a D-League basketball game, this one with the added incentive of being Girl Scout day. Two brownies enjoyed what must be among the most exciting games played by the Maine Red Claws this season or ever.

The game was close at the start, but Texas pulled away by halftime. Sometime in the third quarter, a ho-hum crowd started to sense a shift and the atmosphere grew steadily more energetic, fueled by the reawakened Red Claws.

Regulation ended even and in overtime Maine capped a brilliant comeback with a win.

Now we're 2 and 0.

Texas - Maine
End of 1: 19 - 18
End of 2: 55 - 41
End of 3: 82 - 71
End of 4: 101 - 101
End of OT: 105 - 107

For the visitors, Justin Dentmon and Dominique Johnson caught my eye (though the former missed badly on the buzzer shot that would have won the game in the 4th).

For the home team, Mario West and DeShawn Sims drew attention, while Magnum Rolle left an impression.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station will

deploy ARISSat-1, the first of a series of educational satellites being developed in a partnership with the Radio Amateur Satellite Corp. (AMSAT), the NASA Office of Education ISS National Lab Project, the Amateur Radio on ISS (ARISS) working group and RSC-Energia.

ARISSat satellites can carry up to five student experiments and the data from these experiments will be transmitted to the ground via an amateur radio link. In addition, ARISSat will transmit still frame video Earth views from four onboard cameras, commemorative greetings in native languages from students around the world, and a Morse code tracking beacon. ARISSat also will function as a world-wide space communications utility for use by amateur radio operators.

EDIT: Deployment has been postponed.

Lost admin access to my website. Three hours (over three days) later, found it again.

To DH support:

FYI On my 4.7 installation, I needed to add
$GLOBALS['tempUser'] = $user;

Since my original wonderment was...
> if this week's server move has caused this problem

...I now wonder: Should the answer have been yes?

Time to upgrade.

EDIT

Got a lickety-split response:

Thank you for following up. I dont see how a server move would alter Drupals roles/user settings or functionality. I'm not sure this is even possible.

Keeping your software current and up-to-date is highly recommended.

So, coincidence? Beats me.

Alder Flycatcher singing from the wet spot a few hundred feet to the west of the deck late this afternoon. Ten years to the day since the first one heard here. Just a dozen "in the yard" all that time, with none in '02, '07, or '08, but otherwise reasonably predictable:
