Snow ?

January 6th, 2010

Today the south was hit by snow bigtime, 16 inches in places we however had barely 1 inch. But it snowed all day but was thawing as fast as it was falling so no real accumulation except in the odd sheltered spot. As the temp dropped it continued to snow and settle but it wasn’t heavy and then soon stopped, how crap. -2 outside now so all slush has gone crusty with a thin layer of snow over, wierd. So I rang work in the morning anticipating chaos trying to get in and told them I would work from home on the code emailed the day before. I dug out my development board, eventually found the serial lead. Dwonloaded the software and off I went…trying to write code to the micro, no chance, everything else worked fine, it compiled no problem, the software eventually found the dev board on the serial port and it seemed to write but came up with some odd error message which did my head in for 2 hours so I went to Maplins to buy a new Microcontroller, but they didnt have any, web only! Sod ’em. Im now getting quite bored writing this so I feel sorry for anyone reading it, so I’ll do us both a favour and bog off to bed…night.
