Tax Time

Work

I needed to reprogram a small embedded programmer. For some reason my computer was not detecting the device. Check in Device Manager. It is missing… Hmm… Look at the back of the PC. OOps. It is not plugged in. Originally I just put the processor in to turn another device on and off. Not it does a lot more thanks to some software and hardware mods.

At the time of the original design, I thought about using a whole series of normal electrical parts since I thought that using a microprocessor was overkill. But now I know that it was exactly the right thing to do. It has made things so much better for me.

I am doing some work with a software product from a multi-national company. Every now and then when I do the wrong thing it crashes. I can reliably make it crash. I have actually been very disappointed with this supplier on the software side. I expected better. Particularly concidering how big this company is…

Tax Time

Time to do my tax, or more correctly to get everything together for my accountant to do. This should be fairly easy. I know where everything is, I hope!

Update: Yes, it was fairly painless. It took about 10 minutes to get everything together for my personal stuff. Business stuff took an extra 2 minutes, mostly emailing the accountant. Now, lets see how I go.

Music

Random Play – The Eurythmics ‘Angel’. Such a sad song. Then Enrique turned up on Random play. Much happier music, mostly. So right now I have the album ‘Escape’ playing. So many cool songs.

Calendar Question for the Day

If you could relive one day in your life, which day would it be?
