Drizzly night

[altivo]

Fortunately, it is supposed to stay well above freezing. Otherwise, this would make nasty ice conditions. We are supposed to finally see winter by about Sunday, with a 60% chance of snow.

Nothing to report on the library rebellion front. There was a significant meeting this morning, but I wasn't there and since I don't work on Thursday afternoon I haven't yet heard a report. However, an e-mail from a colleague at the institution where the meeting took place suggests it went well. Plans are going forward for budgeting, network equipment, and such.

Got the FM transmitter to work with my Zen Nano, so I can listen to digital audio in the car again. This transmitter is borrowed from the library, where it is rarely used, but I'll have to return it eventually. I'll be looking for a better quality one to buy. It is indeed hard to find a vacant frequency to use here. I started at 88.1 MHz and had to go all the way to 105.7 before I found a channel quiet enough to work. Between that and listening while cleaning stalls, though, I'm more than halfway through Redwall.

Tomorrow is payday and then (I hope) a fairly quiet weekend. I need some down time.

I'm thinking of building one of these:

It would be nice to be able to listen to the output of my PC when I'm outside doing chores. :)

Of course, this one would be even better :)

Been thinking of getting one myself for my MP3 player (Zen Nano Plus, incidentally), so I wouldn't need to burn a CD every time I wanted to listen something in the car too... How was the sound quality with that transmitter thingie?
