It’s a Weekend.

Right, about time I made an entry… Strange weekend rounded off with the notoriously dull Sunday afternoon, actually sat down and began teaching myself assembly code for the PIC microcontroller, all in all quite simple so soon I will be able to design an intelligent room thermostat for the heating system. Basically it will memorise room temperatures and average times to reach desired comfort levels, so if at any particular turn on time it is colder than usual, the thermostat will be able to judge how sooner it will need to fire the heating to reach the desired temperature at the time set, and if its warmer it will fire later etc… Just something to play around with. Had both the kids for dinner today a rare occasion, Kayleigh my eldest has told me off for not mentioning her often in my blog, so here I am…mentioning her, maybe find some really embarrassing photos of her too. She has her GCSE’s very soon and is looking forward to going to college hopefully to do a media studies course.

Getting Better.

Having thought about this, I’m actually paid monthly now so I’m more likely to get into a new place…Now I’m happy. Got my new Laptop today and my place on the company server, desk and phone to follow. Seems this job is much more along my street that listening to wimpering housewives complaining of the cold when they have no heating. Have to re-design a PCB tomorrow in Cadstar which I haven’t used before, I’ve only designed using Protel, so should be interesting…

Give Me Strength!

Well I’m a bit fucked off… A week into a 6 month contract with an engineering company and I feel quite depressed. Not because of the work, more the fact I have no place of my own and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to manage important issues where I am. So I might just shove all my wages into getting a place in the first (or second) month and sod anyone I owe money too, after all, It will put me in a better position to organise everything.
