Earlier today I promised that sometime in the next ‘day or two’ I would post some photos of what I have been working on. What I did not expect was that I would actually get around to doing it so soon. Bear in mind that I did not actually do the layout myself for these, but I did actively participate in the design. And the software for one of the CPU’s is all mine.

The CPU I have been working on is the black square in the middle of the right hand board. Under the silvery square above that is another CPU which I have not needed to work on. The square is a piece of tin to remove some low level noise from the CPU.

A little earlier I did the run… I think I did it at the wrong time of the day – 2pm is not really the correct time to run in November in Sydney, even if it has been raining. There was a nice breeze at times, and when I was in the shade it was really nice out there. Slightly humid, but really nice. When I was out of the breeze, and when the sun was hitting me things were a lot worse for running. The conditions were horrible in the sun.

Once again when any perspiration gets into my eyes it does not feel good… And once the temperature gets up things get worse in that regard. It really was pleasant when I was running in the shade… Very pleasent.

So, how did I go… I guess I did about 3.5KM, maybe 4km, but I think 3.5km. I did about 28 minutes, and this would have been longer except a neighbour arrived home and I chatted to him. Otherwise I problably would have tried to break the 30 minute barrier.
