A NEW TAPE HAS BEEN PUT INTO KAIEE DLT DRIVE, Sun Oct 26 18:13:13 GMT 2003 COMMENT: Sun Oct 26 19:39:48 GMT 2003 A white helicopter just buzzed over close and circled, tehn landed at the helipad area below the GONG shelter. Some people are down at the Groundwinds building I think, and they walked toward the helicopter after it landed. MKIV COMMENT: Sun Oct 26 19:42:10 GMT 2003 Centered occulting. The CME appears to be over so I'll do a cal next.

There are 3 SUVs parked in the NOAA parking lot, a white one, a silver one and a dark one. Sun Oct 26 21:46:23 GMT 2003 MKIV End Patrol **MLSO PROBLEM**: Sun Oct 26 21:46:07 GMT 2003 Earlier the Console window disappeared, then I noticed the GIF animations were slowed down on Nahenahe. I found that GIF files stopped being created after 2022 UT. Then just now the message : Warning: Sorry, no swap space to grow stack for pid 18377 (date) appeared on the desktop. I found that /tmp is 100% full but nothing else is, I'm not sure what I can do about this. Sun Oct 26 22:21:31 GMT 2003 MKIV Start Patrol **MLSO PROBLEM**: Sun Oct 26 22:19:05 GMT 2003 This is the first entry after having to reboot Nahenahe There was a problem earlier similar to what happened on 10/08, the cmdtool window disappeared, then the animation on Nahenahe slowed, then a message appeared on the desktop about the lack of swap space. I found that /tmp was full, the problem on 10/08 was fixed by rebooting Nahenahe which is what I also did. Before the reboot /tmp was only allocated 8 kilobytes which were filled, after the reboot it is allocated 43448 of which only 8 are filled, strange. After this reboot the previous log entries were ruined and turned into unreadable nonsense characters, I was bummed about that and had to kind of sum up the previous entries, but Alice saved the day again by later sending me the first part of the log which I then added to the front of this log, yay! She must have been checking the log at just the right time and then she had it up on her screen and was able to send it to me. Thanks Alice! WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Oct 26 22:26:41 GMT 2003 Clear sky today, wind from SE about 5 mph. **MLSO PROBLEM**: Sun Oct 26 22:33:43 GMT 2003 mk4 GIF files are being written again and animation on Nahenahe works well.
