Launch scrubbed

So, today's launch attempt was cancelled due to an electrical fault. Next attempt will be no earlier than Monday, so we have an unplanned weekend in Florida. We're not sure how long we can stay here, so we really hope they can go on Monday.

We're OK

Just a quick note to say that we're OK.

We heard from Allen earlier today that the Petro truck stop down in Glade Spring was hit pretty hard by a bad storm last night. We've seen some photos online and it looks like a big mess, we're glad to be in Florida right now - we've had some strong winds and hot weather here, but it's just mildly uncomfortable and nothing compared to what's going on at home. We're keeping an eye on the weather for now and hoping that it will pass before we head back home.

Today, I thought I'd try a little experiment and snapped a couple of photos in the greenhouse with my mobile phone, then stitched them into a single image with Hugin. Hugin's got its little quirks (like being very picky about the filenames you use for the individual images) but it sure does a good job :)

If you go follow the link to flickr, you should be able to hover over the image and see what all of that green goodness actually is.
