We've tested the bundle protocol from the delay-tolerant networking research group in space:
UK-DMC satellite first to transfer sensor data from space using 'bundle' protocol, Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd press release, 11 September 2008.

There's a paper with a lot more detail, and presentation slides that will be given at the end of the month:
Use of the Delay-Tolerant Networking Bundle Protocol from Space, Lloyd Wood, Will Ivancic, Wesley M. Eddy, Dave Stewart, James Northam, Chris Jackson and Alex da Silva Curiel, 59th International Astronautical Congress, Glasgow, September 2008.

...and we made Slashdot.

++ungood; on video: Danny O'Brien's talk on Living on the Edge, Open Tech 2008.

Still photos of the talk and t-shirt, too.

I've been attending IETF 72 near Dublin, and noticed that the IETF Journal being handed out included a photo of me.

I've also noticed that, in describing Apple as one of the world's leading makers of multimedia telephone equipment in 1994, I was eerily prescient.

Cheap American knockoffs

I've just discovered that my ++ungood; T-shirt design has been copied badly by someone called Stallion00 on Zazzle.

And there's another bad knockoff by powerfulgood over at Printfection. And another by ddblplusungood on Cafepress itself, where my own ++ungood; store lives. Odd how... similar... all these knockoffs look.

Stallion00, powerfulgood and ddblplusungood missed the point of the semi-colon. So, not programmers, then. But definitely proles.

I've just released SaVi 1.4.0. It's been eighteen months since the last release, and in that time I've added better texturemapping, better graphics, and a whole bunch of fixes. It seems that I'll have to make a release at least every couple of years to keep up with changes in compilers and Tcl/Tk just to prevent breakage; source requires resources to maintain.

As always, there's a lot more to do, but right now I'm done.

In other news, I received IP/MARS T-shirts from Vint Cerf; Cathryn now has the other one. I'd like to think that ++ungood; is still cooler.
