Digital Photo Gear

Making my lists and checking them twice. I am planning, so far, to take a digital photography kit, a towel, and a change of underwear to the Comoros. I hate to add any extra weight but I might also take a SLR. The digital photo kit includes a laptop with CDR, two sets of four rechargeable AA batteries (NiMH 1600mAh and 1800mAh), a quick-charger, and three 128MB SmartMedia cards (approximately 60 shots each at 3.3Mp — 2048×1536).

Excellent news: I have located an old Hobie 16 with a trailer in LA. Will be heading south soon to pick it up. Does anyone out there in Internet-land need a Hobie? Please feel free to contact me. Otherwise, I may soon end up owning three catamarans and I’ll be forced to actually keep one on the beach.

Also, although I do not advertise, I would like to mention that after years of foggy lenses I can see more clearly now with EK’s “Cat Crap“. I am sure that sounds like a cheesy radio promotion, but I am just happy to be fog-free and wanted to share the joy.

Travel plans, Trailers, and Snort

Flight plans for the Comoros have been set. I still have a few things to take care of for the trip such as Malaria pills.

More spectacular weather has made the weekend go by quickly and I feel that before I know it I will be sitting on the black beaches of Nzwani. Some A-class sailors have been sending me information on building a custom trailer. Seems like a good time to start an A-class web page (blog).

Afan reported excellent news that CERT is using his software (PHPlot) together with Snort for their network intrusion detection.
