Ok, two days now I haven't updated, so I might as well.

Wednesday, I work on getting Nvidia display drivers into Linux, only to find that there is absoltely no support for video input. Bah! That sucks. Marissa (amethest) and her father came to see the FakeSpace system. I showed them, and set up the Bubbles demo with the MTC TacTex pressure pad. Worked on phpMyAdmin some during the day. Paid Patrick with lunch for helping me with one thing in it. I got a ride home with Patrick in the evening, and he had a GPS map unit on him, so I took down co-ordinates for my house: 49°15'52.02" N 124°58'33.78" W. That is accurate to about 7.5m. They exist in my DNS LOC record as well now.

Thursday, I got a ride to TechBC with Patrick in the morning. I was supposed to be doing a tutorial on the FakeSpace equipment for several people. Marissa came and paid me a surprise visit :-). One person shows up 5 minutes. The second person shows up 30 minutes late. So I don't end up doing the demonstration, since it's not worthwhile. I sent out an email about it, and then went out for lunch with Gordon, since he had offered to buy me lunch given that tommorow is my last day. I went back to try and redo the tutorial at 2pm. More people showed up this time, but neither of the two people that wanted it in the first place! I did it anyway, and saw a really nice demonstration of something Jagdeep is working on. MPEG4 video conferencing. Uses only 4kbps for a really nice quality, image size and 15 frames per second. Came home, and tidied up computer junk that was in my computer area.
