Hanging on the Telephone

Yes, it's one of those "11:44" blips - the day has been far too busy and I've only just now remembered to get a blip in before last orders.

This evening's busy-ness has been firmware for the flight computer in my balloon project. Launching a balloon is easy; finding the damn thing afterwards when it might be a 100 miles away is more tricky!

All being well, my balloon will "phone home" during the last few minutes of the descent, using an olde mobile phone to send me text messages with it's latest position. So this evening's blip is the flight computer wired up to the phone connector. Not an exciting image, but it's all I've got time for!
