It pays to be careful when using eBay to buy stuff. I was looking at buying a U2 Best Of CD. For some reason the price got to $50, which was a price I was definitely not willing to pay. I just saw the CD on sale at Go-Lo in Ingleburn for only $15. And I did not need to pay for the postage either on that.

When I was at the postoffice I got another job out the door… I was hoping to get it sent out a few days back, but I wanted to talk to the client before sending it out. International postage is not that expensive, but the real pain is the delay whilst the parcel goes around the world. So right now the parcel is on its way to Seattle, and we will see how it goes. I was not able to meet 100% of the requirements of the sepcification, but I think it provides enough without doing significant engineering.

Next Task? Well, I had a phone call from one of my clients… He had an engine fail in one of his vehicles and it had a tracker on it – and now is trying to work out what happened to the vehicle in the days and weeks before. The raw data is there for a lot of forensics, but it can be a pain to process them in the reporting engine. In some cases the data has already been filtered out. So my next task is to add fields to the report for things such as the maximum average speed. At the moment the speed field is in Knots. It is probably wise to create a field for speed in KM/H too.
