-Continuing a [[https://web.archive.org/web/20041111125713/http://vanrenterghem.biz/News/index.php?begin=25][long tradition]] with announcing /firsts/, I wrote an
-[[http://git.vanrenterghem.biz/?p=R/operatingdays.git;a=summary][R package]] recently, and made it available on
-[[http://git.vanrenterghem.biz/][Projects]], a new section of the website. (Talking about my website on said website is also not exactly new.)

-It still needs further work, as it really only supports AU public
-holidays for now, but it's exciting to be able to use freely available
-public data to make analysis a bit easier. The ability to know how many
-working days are left in the month is fundamental in forecasting a
-month-end result. Extensions of the package could include simple checks
-like if today's date is a working day, or more complex ones like the
-number of working days between given dates for instance.

-In other news, I received [[http://www.rtl-sdr.com][a new gadget]] in
-the mail today.

-RTL-SDR is a very cheap software defined radio that uses a DVB-T TV
-tuner dongle based on the RTL2832U chipset. With the combined efforts of
-Antti Palosaari , Eric Fry and Osmocom it was found that the signal I/Q
-data could be accessed directly, which allowed the DVB-T TV tuner to be
-converted into a wideband software defined radio via a new software
-driver.
