Sometimes things do go right.

Sometimes I do love this job. I have been putting off some work since I thought it would take ages to do. In fact I thought it was going to take a full days work, with lots of issues, and problems at every turn. This time I started working on the project and I have done 95% of the schematic diagram done in 15 minutes. The remaining 5% may take another 10 minutes, but so what. I have just saved myself at least 8 hours work. What could be better.

The 5% remaining is just numbering some pins. It should not take too long at all. Knowing my luck, doing that minor work will take all the time. I doubt it though, it really should be simple.

Then I just need to give this to someone to design a circuit board for me and we will be done. I could do the board myself, but there are experts who do that sort of thing. I am not an expert at that, and I have not done a serious circuit board design in years. The last complex one I did was when I was doing my thesis at Uni. The picture of those PCB’s are below. I would rather not comment on when I did these PCB’s… Lets just say it was not in the last 12 months and leave it there, although if you ask I might just tell you.

Sore Throat

My throat is actually a bit sore now. I did too much talking today, almost shouting at times. I can also tell you I am starting to get tired. I am glad I did not drive from here to Wyong this morning, but it would have been an OK trip if I had.
