2015 Trip 2015-05-16

The day was so pretty that I made an on-the-spot decision to stay in the anchorage one more day. I worked on programming the Arduino for 3-axis measurement; the little chip that is used in smartphones, tablets and in gaming sensor to detect tilt angles and acceleration. I have to admit that while I got the device working and reading on the x, y and z axis (yaw, pitch, roll from flying days) the math for converting the gravity readings into angles was very, very complex and I haven’t worked with sets and trigonometric functions in many years so I am going to go slowly with that.

Original hosting provider breaks my old website

My old hosting company, who will remain unnamed although their name starts with “go” and the end rhymes with “baddy”, changed their software with little notice and the original SV-ZANSHIN.COM site stopped working overnight.

Every. Single. Page.

So I’ve transitioned to another provider. These original pages have been migrated, but all the formatting and other features are gone and the will still contain numerous display issues and formatting anomalies.

The manual effort of conversion is too much and not worth the effort involved. Over 1000 blog diary pages like this one are going to remain in this condition. The pictures are full-scale, but won’t expand when clicked. But you can can copy them to view them in their original splendour.
