The first thing you need to do when using RemoteTech and you plan to get some probes usable in orbit and beyond is to set up a basically communications constellation with three satellites.

UPDATE: Version 0.9 BETA is now released. Go here for the new list.
Version 0.25 of KSP has been released, and it’s time for the reinstallation of ALL THE MODS. I’m hoping this mod compatibility list helps others out.
If you’re new to KSP, or completely unfamiliar, it is a simulation game, where you take the role of director for the little green men version of NASA. (I wrote a preview/review of it a while back)
One of the reasons for its success is its massive mod community, which has taken the stock game and added a tremendous amount of depth in the way of new ship components, graphical overhauls, sounds, functionality (life support, flight model re-write, mining/resource gathering, etc), and other content.

Getting up at the crack of dawn (or before) to do a shoot is always an interesting experience.
This morning, for example, while shooting the lunar eclipse, I heard a distant meowing. Like some sort of feline sonar, it got more insistent and increased in volume until it was right behind me.
I turn to find a cat (with collar, and apparently well-cared for), sitting there, meowing at me.

I’ve decided to make myself a more permanent web home for discussing my projects, photography, tech, writing, games & game development, 3D printing, etc., etc., etc.
Watch this space for interesting things.
