      Oh excrement.

      I've just remembered I forgot to take the sausages out of the freezer this morning.

      Bugger.

          Mmmmm.

          Can't decide how to deal with the maffs in this proximity detector thingie.

          Tricky.

          Doing a moving average of 16 values using an array, which smooths out a certain amount of crapola.

          Naturally I'm using a PIC, so ram is constrained to not very much.

          And ints are 16 bits.

          What I want to do is a running moving average sort of thingie that gives me a decent baseline so I can subract it from the moving average above to give a nice value wot starts at about zero ish and goes up to about 0x4d ish.

          Hinspiration is sadly lacking at the moment.

          It gives a measurement value roughly every 500 to 1200us depending on the proximity of one's mit to the sensor.

          When your mit is absent, it's 500us, and when your sticky mit is on the pad, it's about 1200us.

          There's sommat on the tip of my tongue but it just isn't gelling at the moment.

          Ho hum.

          so near but yet so far.

          I think I'll make the pcb tomorrow, perhaps that'll give me some inspiration.

                  By the wonders of the microwave oven, I managed to defrost 4 of the buggers, the other 4 are back in the freezer.

                  I managed () to boil a saucepan dry.

                  I was cooking some cabbage (I planted the feckers so I'm going to eat them come what may) and forgot to turn the ring down.

                  Had ZeitMater done it I'd have been irritated.

                  Thankfully it wasn't a non-stick, so there's just a brown mark on the bottom.

                  I caught it just in time & the cabbage tasted about the same as it usually does, i.e. dark green & moderately unpleasant.

                      Sounds like he was aiming for caramelised cabbage...
