down to pulling out 40 thousand PDFs on FPGA programming and trying
the single command that the technician at CAEN wants me to try. When
the latter fails, I try to figure out why, wonder about it for awhile,
then email back the failure with a question as to whether or not it
could be (e.g.) the firmware.
Naturally, I wont actually get an answer to the question, I'll get a
completely unrelated quote from the manual in response.
Hell hath no fury like a CAEN technician.
As I write this we are 14:52 away from the 40th anniversary of the
Apollo 11 landing. I've heard alot of conspiracy theorists asking
radio hosts if they thought it was faked, and other people complaining
about how there are a billion Chinese kids starving to death in Africa
and therefore we should go back in time and cut the NASA budget in
order to help this problem.
I think they're a bunch of morons, but that's me.
There were some interesting pictures released from the LRO (Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter) of the Apollo landing sites,

.
Of course, these were photoshopped by the same guys who set the sounds
tage in Nevada to fake the landing. </sarcasm>
