The job in Holroyd was really quick. In and out in about 10 minutes. And most of that was getting the various tools I needed out and waiting for the soldering iron to heat up. I wish all jobs were …
Today I am off to Pymble via Holroyd. Pymble should be fun – I think it will mostly be a planning session where I need put my thoughts onto paper to be implemented. Then the implementation will be someone elses …
Back from working on the plane. We spent time working on the centre console area between the seats – putting about 14 nut plates in. This took a surprising amount of time. Then we worked on getting the elevator at …
Overnight I was thinking about the programming I have been doing working on writing a UDP GPS listener program. I am getting my head around things – some of the concepts that the hardware people are using are unfamiliar to …
What I thought would be a really easy task is becoming a pain. I am now synchronising my iPod and iTunes with my collection of music. This is the first time I have done this since the rebuild. The main …
I am back from seeing Posiedon… Which I must say was an interesting movie. At the outset I was amazed at the opening credits – this is a ship that I would love to go on a cruise on – …
Off to see the movie Posiedon…. I can remember seeing the original when I was younger and I will be interested to see if the new version lives up to the original. Personally, I cannot see how it could not …
Over the last week or two I have been working on a product for a company in Thailand. I have been having some issues getting the software to work as the data did not quite line up with the specification. …
I found a great spoof site – link – for laser eye surgery. The front page should be a give away… Never trust an eye surgeon with glasses. Well, that is not a 100% rule, but it is a good …
User Interface design is the bane of my life. I have a notebook here with lots of sketches. And I draw what I think might work before I go about implementing it. And since I do not have a tablet …
Amazing… What cannot seem to be solved late at night takes only a few minutes in the morning. I have been working on a forms designer, and it just would not work. No matter what I did, I could not …
I have some more programming to do this evening – A modified forms designer. It is mostly complete, but I need to put in a few more hours. Then I will be able to integrate this into an administration program …
For most of today I have been doing programming – well, that and fighting computers. It is SO infuriating when things do not work when they are supposed to. Things are supposed to ‘Just work’… And so much time is …
I am a *COMPLETE* idiot at times. My radio-active.net.au Web Site that is hosted here has had some issues today. More correctly, it was down between 8:50 and 2:50.. Or put another way, it came back after six hours down. …
My external WWW site is down at the moment… and I cannot work out why… I am talking about the radio-active.net.au one, and not the www.radio-active.net.au which is hosted elsewhere. I am literally tearing my hair out!
