My FLARM emulator is working really really well. Surprisingly. I did not realize how much of this project was involved in getting the ‘User Interface’ of the hardware working how it should. And working out what makes sense. Since I …
Early this morning I was working on a serial emulator for some hardware and software I am working on. What I am actually writing, and have just started is an emulator for the FLARM glider trackers from Europe. The software …
The DELL technician called earlier today to say that he was unable to come today, and would be here tomorrow. No problem. It is not urgent, and I did not need the thing fixed immediately. So I was a little …
I love my VoIP phone… It is saving me so much money. I can make calls cheaply which is great… It is a wonderful business tool. It itemizes all my calls too which is just perfect – even the local …
Alright. I do not quite believe this… This site shows how to upgrade your iPod NANO, from the 4 GByte to 250 GByte. I am not sure but I think that this is actually a joke. It is certainly not …
I have been busy working on the PIC processor design – apart from when I have been watching some TV. I just finished watching HOUSE, and enjoyed that. It was a break from work – something I am doing too …
I have just spent too long trying to program a PIC processor. There were a few issues. The first is that the oscillator was not running… dodgy soldering job – mine that is. Then the dodgy serial port on my …

It is nice sleeping in my own bed. You get used to your own bed, and it is easier to sleep in it… I still woke up too early this morning but I did sleep better… The bed at the …
I just got home after many hours driving… Too many hours driving in fact. Coming home I stopped twice – once for fuel, and the other to grab some dinner… Driving long distances at night versus day is a double …
This morning I did a run of about 3km, and although it was a bit cool, I really enjoyed it. I did not expect that I would be able to run so far since my last run was about 2km… …
Once again I woke up too early… This time I think I have an excuse… The bed here is probably one of the hardest that I have slept in for a long time, meaning that I did not sleep as …
I have been busy in meetings all this afternoon… And tomorrow I will be in meetings as well… I hate meetings, but sometimes they are needed… Some just go on and on which is the problem. It seems that monday …
I am currently logged on using GPRS and my SierraWireless card. This is so cool. I can be sitting here and actually surf the internet, or get emails or whatever. Actually it is more like paddle the internet, but at …
