Yeah, this hasn’t been touched in a while.

Doing other things elsewhere so I’ve left this to sit for a (long, long) while. But a server upgrade is going to have to happen soon and then I think it will be time to revive this.

ULF receiver and magnetic field measurement notes

Random notes for a project I may or may not do for an aurora detector system (the ULF part isn’t an obvious need, but the basic B field measurement is too ‘simple’ for what I need). Lot of stuff out there from whack-jobs, hopefully I avoid linking to any of those…

WTF…wordpress lost all my catagories!

No, not really. But if /tmp fills up that’s one of the symptoms.

Workaround to Framemaker bugs with transparent images

Transparent images by making them .eps in framemaker. (Framemaker has always had a serious design flaw in its ability to handle images, I guess the designers expected a white background on everything, the official excuse about text runaround makes no sense at all)
