Just as I think well when I am running I think well when I am driving. I normally can come up with some great ideas when driving. Unfortunately I dont normally have the chance to write them down so some …
I have just got home from an afternoon working on the plane. Well mostly. There is a famous book called ‘Zen and the art of Motorcycle Mechanics’ which is about anything but that. If I get the story right, getting …
I am currently in a Cafe writing this. It is such a nice day. There is internet access here, at $5/hour so I am not connected right now. I can cope. A friend of mine has borrowed by GPRS card …
I may be working on the plane this afternoon. I need to ring Richard a bit later and see how he is going. If not I will probably do some reading today. I started reading ‘The House Husband’ last night, …
I didn’t do any running today, but I did some sit-ups. I only managed to do about 10 twice. That was enough. I need to do a lot more but it is a good start. This afternoon I finished watching …
My test of the tracker went well. There are some settings that probably need to be changed but that is minor. Basically it worked exactly as I expected. Actually, just thinking about the results I got I started thinking about …
I am not building today… So I am here doing some work, but I will have some time off a bit later. There are just some things that i have been wanting to get done… So I can cross some …

I have been busy this afternoon with programming tasks. Mostly on the Rabbit stuff, although I have been using VB.Net all day too. I did not realise how much I enjoyed the Microsoft compilers, since they provide help for me …
Today I have been debugging code. Just one more bug is the catch cry of any programmers. I think I have just located that ‘Just One More Bug’. I am doing a simulated driving trip with the GPS tracking unit …
I woke this morning to the sound of rain on the gutters and the roof. What could be more relaxing or more serene than that? If only I had an iron roof it would sound even better. My real regret …
I got the code from the programmer in India. Unfortunately I had to re-write some of it since whilst some of the code would have worked it was poorly written and some of it was quite buggy. And other bits …
In this business I occasionally get some strange requests. I had one from a UFO believer which must be read to be believed. You can have a look at it in the Blog Archives. I would encourage you all to …
One of my clients suggested that I have a look at World Wind from NASA, which is a world globe program with plugins to allow other data to be displayed. The software has a cute model of the earth, and …
