My meeting went well this morning. I have a few things i need to do – such as look through all the DVD’s I burned a few weeks back looking for some software to reprogram a radio. One of my friends has offered to allow me to do the work at his office for free. Really generous of him – we help each other out all the time. Last time he went away I handled answering his business phone for him.

Installing things today highlighted a few software issues I need to fix – minor things really. But they need to be adjusted. Some reporting fields are not really appropriate for this client – for some reason Australia Post has not designated many Post Codes for the middle of the Bass Strait.

I will see if I can get this software fixed up this afternoon – I doubt that there will be many problems with that. Probably an hour or two’s work.

Photo of the Day

Here are a couple of photos from the MOTAT museum in Auckland – one of them is a piece of electrical engineering equipment – I think it is a Whetstone Bridge that measures resistances very accrurately, even without a digital display. The other device is much older – it is a Jaquard Loom from France. It was the first use of punch cards in the world, allowing fabric to be woven with complex patterns. It was an awesome thing to see in operation, and was so much faster than the old manual method of manually adjusting the longitudinal yarns.
