I am interested in these topics but don't have the time to read them all. Most dump into folders for future research. I also set up different TO addresses in my domain name mail server. So, if I want to receive email at some time from Sony (just pulling a name out of the air to pick on), I could set up ultraspecialsonydata AT MYDOMAIN.com . If they treat me nice, I'll keep getting the mails. If they treat me badly, I can dump that address, lose their mail and anyone they've sold the address to, and not lose my other more important mail. It's somewhat of a hassle to set up but works well. >> I'm not asking about how to sort the hardware out, I can handle that >I think.

When I was testing my USB GPS with NTP, I was getting + / - 10 ms accuracy without PPS. I found that this NMEA data was not usable however because the start time of the NMEA sentence wanders about 70 ms in either direction. When I switched to a serial GPS with PPS and fed that through a Trendnet TU-S9 USB Serial adapter which passes handshaking signals, I could get it down to + / - 1ms accuracy. That's not great, but is plenty good for some purposes and is about the only option for PC's with no serial port, like laptops. On my desktop machine, which I had to add a motherboard cable to for a real serial port, I get + / - 40 us accuracy. I like that much better.

Please excuse my potential brevity. (To whom it may concern. My email address has changed. Replying to former messages prior to 03/31/12 with my personal address will go to the wrong address. Please send all personal correspondence to the new address.) (PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, don't be concerned. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and such. I don't always see new email messages very quickly. If you need a reply and haven't heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
