I'm currently glued to my computer, monitoring the launch of the Japanese H2A
booster carrying FedSat.

Yours truly headed up the software development for the spaceflight avionics.
So if it doesn't work after booster seperation you'll know who to blame.

Here's hoping NASDA do a better job with the H-2A than ESA did with
the Ariane-5 a few days ago...
