For some reason we seem to have a load of Esteemed Customers around today. Campus has been dead for the past week so I have no idea why. -
There are traffic lights there. In the hot weather most people's windows are down so when they stop they are ideal targets. It was good when the rozzers pulled up at the lights and moved one of them on out of his car window.Originally posted by covbob View PostThe middle of a traffic island seems to be a particularly poor choice of location to beg.Comment

Ah, enterprising! If they can't get past the red lights then motorists are ideal targets. Good thinking that man.Originally posted by barrydidit View PostThere are traffic lights there.

Clouded over, so I've decided to put the sprinklers on the lower lawn.
If it rains, then the ground is soften up to receive the moisture.
If it doesn't rain, then the ground is watered.
Days like today that your glad you can't have a water meter.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Laundry on. Unlike last time, I remembered to check back over the route between the laundry basket and the washing machine in case a stray sock had managed to escape. But they all went willingly this time.Comment

It's doing a fine job here.
The greyness of the sky merges well with the greyness of the sea.
Lovely to see things back to normal.
And I still can't get that piece of tulipe PIC12F1572 to do owt.
It's not helped that I'm using the horrid CCS compiler which is like a cornered rat.
But much loved, along with the Proteus simulator by my esteemed colleague.

And lo! verily if you point the programmer ap at the right fecking hex file & duly program the fecking pic with the right fecking code, it works.Originally posted by DoctorStrangelove View Post

None of the tulipe I've spent all day farting about with does anything.
Not impressed.
It has to go through the proteus simulator, presumably to set the fuses correctly.
I shall not repeat this exercise in futility ever again.


In other news, I'm going to get wet on the way home.
