Dear me.

Now a lesson in how you get plus and minus 5V from a single 5V power supply: in essence, you can't

Yes you can, just not at the same time.

And now we do the lesson on fault finding on the piece of crap you've built (wrong) on a breadboard.

It didn't work coz he'd left a wire out.

And the breadboard was crap just to add to the joy.

They also seem to mistake the chassis ground of the power supply for actual ground.

Which it ain't since the 3 power supplies are floating.

We had that 3 times today.

And the wondrous CCS compiler is, IMHO, an overpriced piece of crap.

One installation has lost its config file so won't run the compiler.

Ho hum.

Just had afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches a big fry-up

Now I won't feel hungry again until about midnight, at which point I'll fancy a full roast dinner or something

If I don't stop eating so much I'm going to hit 14st soon.

To celebrate the lack of the 17:12 to Chester, I'm working on until 17:00, at which time I'll meander down the hill to the station, purchase a South Wales Evening Post (now owned by Mirror Group), and read it in the comfort of the 125.

Which I hope is waiting on the station right now.

Sadly, that ship sailed for me earlier this year, and I don't seem to be having much success in bringing it back to harbour

I'm thinking of getting an exercise bike, as I suspect that I need to get my fitness levels up from the wretched pit in which they currently languish before I can consider using a real bike for travelling any worthwhile distance. Also, rain and sleet and things at this time of year.

Use the winter to get the "puppy fat" off, then come spring you will be lean and mean and ready to get run over by a HGV
