I just had a client ring… He was unable to get reports out of my software for some reason. Why this was happening we are not sure. But as soon as he tried it with me on the phone he …
Some good news today… I heard from a potential client in Canada. He is now finally getting some good results from a system that I have developed. It has been a hard process getting this done, but it now seems …
I had dinner with my brother last night… And we could not find a corkscrew anywhere… Hmm… I remembered the saying ‘There is problem no without an engineering solution’. So I found a coach screw, and a spanner and a …
I did go for a run this afternoon – the weather was too good not to go for a run. By that I mean that there was a breeze, and little direct sunlight, and the temperature outside was about right …
I have got a heap of work off my desk thanks to delivering a heap of trackers to the local post office for delivery to a client of mine. The box should arrive there in a couple of days thanks …

A few interesting things… First is that I have a meeting on Thursday afternoon about the child care centre. This is not an organisation I want to be on the board of, and certainly do not want to be on …
I have learned my lesson about what to do if I thing an item has the wrong price. I needed to go to tandy to get some connectors for a project. I know, Tandy is not the cheapest, but I …
Sometimes I am a complete ditz. Yes, me. Friday I was having all sorts of problems with a cable for a box I was building. Now, today I wanted to make things go properly. That is use all the handshaking …
Sometimes it is easiest just to outsource work. In this particular case I really did not have any idea how to do the work. I had a HEX based string and needed to split it into Lat and Lon. Much …
