For some reason today seems so much like a friday. Not sure why… Just does. You know how some days have a certain feel to them. Well today feels like a friday. For desert tonight I made myself some creamed rice with some rice left over from Teryaki Beef that I made for dinner last nice. Delicious.

I had a phone call from the PCB person. My PCB will be available some time tomorrow to be collected. Once I get it I can start programming the device in ernest. Step number 1 will be to write a small program for me to test the device – then I can start with the full code after that. The reason is that it is better to have a smaller program where I am mainly testing things first, and then I integrate the main software when things are working.

Another reason it that it might take 60 seconds to compile and load the full code in, but only 10 seconds for the small segment. This might not sound like much, but when I might do this 50 times during development it certainly does add up. I have better things to do than watch code upload.

Photo of the Day

These are a couple of photos from the Auckland Tower. This is aparently the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere – and can be seen from much of Auckland. According to the in-flight entertainment on Qantas you can actually also get tours of the spire in the tower. This would be cool, and I would love to do it on one trip. The view out the windows out to the distance is rather amazing.

However the view down is also interesting. This is me standing on a thick sheet of glass, and nothing but glass under me. This is actually slightly freaky. Not dangerous at all, but freaky.
