Saw about 8 meteors, and three satellites. The satellites looked like stars moving across the sky. One of them, however, faded out, and then flared up brighter than anything in the night sky, like a spotlight from 10000 feet up... and then would disappear, flare up bright, disappear, flare up, disappear. Was probably the ISS. 7 hours ago, Feelwell the Rabbit said: I took an ice water shower. ICE WATER. Do you know how hard it is to convince me to do that? This heat is more persuasive than a large angry man holding a baseball bat. I do cool showers, Lukewarm, then I drop the temp slowly until I die of hypothermia...

Crazy Lee Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 1 minute ago, 6tails said: Most likely a comms satellite seeing that many flashes in a brief time period. what you were seeing is called an Iridium flare, a reflection of the sun off the solar panels. The ISS doesn't really rotate a whole lot to cause many flares. You'd be lucky to see a flare roughly every 92 minutes, which is the orbital period of the ISS. I've seen iridium flares, they usually only flare once. I've watched the ISS go across and while usually it's steady, I've seen the ISS flash before. According to one program at least one of the things I saw was the Chinese test space station. Tiangong 1. Might have been what flashed, I've read it's a bit unstable in its orbit. The other ones look like they might have been communication satellites of some kind, there's too much stuff (especially dead stuff) going south-north. If you want to look, it was around 5:15-5:35 EST, Detroit area. The steady ones, one went west-east about 70-80 degrees in southern sky (almost overhead), about a mag 1-2, one went south-north completely overhead, mag 3 or so, and the flashing one was west-east overhead a bit to the north, and ended up at the north-east horizon, probably peaked at -3-5 (or higher) mag.

Nooooooooooo. SOME COMPANIES can't follow STANDARDS. Now I'm stuck with a 1-/34 U MPLS system, and an Adtran that has brackets that push the unit another couple mm higher, so now the Dell switch won't freaking fit. I had to take the ENTIRE RACK apart just to make everything fit neatly and look nice. At least it looks decent, now. Some prior tech came in after my initial job and screwed all this wiring up. I have seen a similar rack setup in the room where I did the practical part of my (rather crap) computer course that turned out to be mostly web design crap rather than network things and programming (and the programming was only in VB) I figure all those ethernet ports are fussy about what patch cable goes to which port on the other equipment.

Tsuujou Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The plot of Jojo isn't at all what's bothering me. Just the majority of the characters and the suuuuper boring action at least what's going on right now. It's funny sometimes though. The episode with the magnet chick had me dying at some parts.

I am not certain what controller I will be working on but I am figuring something relating to the language will crop up when I do the PLC unit of my engineering course. The machinist based unit in the first year caught out many people given most of the course is electrical engineering units with some mechanical and process engineering units included.
