The setup of the software went really well. There was one hickup installing the serial port driver thanks to windows absolute love for wanting to install drivers for some devices more than once. There are probably two drivers needed for USB to Serial drivers, and both need to be installed seperately and in order. Once we installed the driver a second time things worked really well. We just needed to tell the loader softare which COM port to use and away it went. Sometimes things are just too easy.
It was good having a headset telephone whilst doing the support – it allowed me to be doing some general tidying up at the same time – I guess you might call this multi-tasking. I am just wishing that my VoIP phone had a headset so I could also walk around whilst using it. I really do need to get the VoIP PABX up and running – it will make things so much better here. Right now I have three phones on my desk… My mobile, my cordless with its landline, and my VoIP unit. I will not be able to get rid of the mobile but I can dispose of one of the other two I guess.
I am getting a bit concerned about one of my auctions – for a solar cell. Actually I would prefer to re-list it rather than have the person buy it actually since I think I an get more for it if it is re-listed. But I have not heard from the buyer since the auction was complete over 72 hours ago. I guess I will hear on the weekend – Maybe.
I will be building tomorrow but I will be having a later start. I think we will most likely just be tidying up a few areas that we have been putting off until now, and getting them done. You can only put off things so long, so I guess tomorrow will be a tidy up day. Not as exciting as putting the two haves of the plane together for the first time, or putting the wings on, but important none the less.
