July 15 Final Update

I am safely ensconced in the Residence Inn in Wayne, New Jersey. The drive up was uneventful – that’s good.

My little iPod worked OK until I got about hallway. I had set the iTrip to broadcast at 105.1 FM. That worked until about Exit 8A on the turnpike. Then I encountered a radio station broadcasting on that frequency. It swamped my iPod so I shut it down.

On the way up, it occurred to me, that if I could find some kind of extension cord between the iPod and the iTrip, then I could put the iTrip in the back window of the car, right next to the radio antenna and the iPod could be in the front seat with me.

Obviously the better solution would be to somehow hardwire the iPod directly to the Dasher-1’s radio. I’ve seen a few solutions for that, but they’re very expensive.

Right now, I’m feeling pretty tired. Although I did well today, I’m out of fuel and ready for bed.

Tomorrow, I’m working with the client. I think we’ll only be together for two to four hours.
