              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: N.Ule
Opened with light cloud cover had to peridoically close due to the threat of
rain or heavy clouds. (21:40-22:20) (02:20-03:45) First half observer was
also second half observer, switched over to second ID at 23:25.
TUI crashed at 02:15, Jon Brinkmann got it working at 03:05, apparently the
memory on tron was full.  Jon compressed some log files to free up some
space.  Same problem at 04:15, resolved at 04:45, log files appear to be
full of ascii characters reason is unknown.  Problem occured one more time
at 05:20, Brinkman applied a temporay fix at 05:23, day staff has been
notified.
