Hehe. Linus, Thiago and I all three live in Portland, OR. But we're originally from Finland, Brazil, and Germany, respectively. I did almost all my dive training in Hoodsport, WA and occasionally pretend to work there as a dive master or tec dive master. And as much as I enjoy warm water diving, there is no warm water anywhere in driving distance, so if I need to collect data, I drive up to Hoodsport - especially for things like multi-cylinder diving or deco diving. But since we are entirely off topic already... John Hawley, a coworker of mine at Intel, is currently building the "Auto Diver". A contraption that will allow us to automatically lower and raise a dive computer into a pool... which makes it possible to add a lot of really boring dives to a dive computer (for cases where we are concerned with things that happen once there are tons of dives on a DC, e.g. for the EON Steel where we don't know what will happen to its directory entries). > --Steve (Enumclaw, WA -- OC mostly at Redondo) So you're 60 miles closer to Hoodsport than we are :-) > PS Looks like I'll need to pick up a modern language like C to add to my > ancient language list (COBOL, Fortran, PL/SQL, etc).

That's the number 1 area where we need more active contributors :-) After your tenth UI related patch I'll invite you to a dive weekend at the Yellow House (only partly kidding). /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
