[Thumbgps-devel] Macx-1, prototype #3 arrives in redwood city

[dave taht]

My prototype arrived today.

I am on the second floor of a concrete building. Nearby are several 
hundred machines (archive.org, ntp.org, the f-root cluster, etc). I am 
20 feet from the nearest window, with no clear view of the sky.

I have a lock, on 6 satellites! It's still refining it's estimate as to 
my attitude and speed (right now it thinks I'm moving at .6mph), but wow.

The device is smaller than I thought it would be, and feels solid in the 
hand.

I like that the case is already partially transparent. Perhaps there is 
a way to leverage that from a logo design.

Going to fire up the latest code in cerowrt later today.

Yeah, the indoor performance of this thing is *astonishing*.  Blows the
doors off any other GPS I've ever used.

horsepower does not equal spare brainpower in anyway. Google for
'codel'. I'm buried.

if you can fix it, I'll give you root.
