[RANT] I'm having to work Saturday despite having pulled late nights due to the elephant of a sunshine project, I am avoiding mentioning the overly simplistic 'programming language' that got me in to so much trouble during the week. Also the overly caffeinated teenager that cobbled to software together in a haze of Matrix movies, Mountain Due/Jolt cola that got me in to this, 'minimal change as I can't afford you to be supporting them' my butt.
It took over an hour on conference call to set up one test-rig the text boxes that check some values the input is checked to ensure you enter a valid number, the small matter is checked against a number that is correctly cast meaning the Frequency if it is in the range 900 MHz and the actual reading from the instruments of 900.296, it checks to see if it is the range 899 to 906 and passes looses the decimal as so 900.296 becomes 900, the small fact that 0.296 is used later is not of interest

I thought they outloawed that?
I'm working today also, painting, a tad bit of carpentry and a lot of clean up. I've been putting it off but woke up this morning with the get-er-done attitude so IOIO.

Well, I'm sitting here with a big tin of mixed sweets (chocolates, toffees, lemon sherbets, and so forth) trying not to eat them all in one sitting. It is a big tin.
But...
...and it is a big but...
...you are getting paid for it.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm at work as well.
Here tomorrow as well, home on monday though
|
|
|
|

Hope you make it home - the weather forecast for Monday is kinda nasty at the moment. (But better than Tuesday!)
|
|

Our Monday forecast is good, well, when I mean good, I mean flyable.
Christmas day out here is forecasted to be 79 knots and 13m seas. So I know where I would rather be.

Strangely not, I assume you are being paid, I am doing this for good will 
|
|

Just found a Catalyst Control Center Easter EGG that just shows a Picture of the Dev team and scrolls a list of the members.

And I bet Leslie Nielsen was in it.

Nope,
If you have the notification icon enabled.
press ctl + shift + alt then left double click the icon and the form will open.

"Leslie Nielsen" is an in-joke: it means that what you posted has been seen here before and is thus a repost, not that the late Mr Nielsen has anything to do with the easter egg...

oh Ok,
I've never seen it before I just ran across how to do it in the source code using ILSpy.
I was trying to figure out where they where getting the Direct3D Version from.

So, unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past decade, you'll have heard of the Segway self-balancing scooter-thinga-mabobs. A number of you will have even had a go at making a self-balancing robot with a micro-controller and some inertia sensors any gyros. It's quite neat. Not spectacularly complicated, mathematically speaking, but still an impressive thing to witness. It is however, a 1D effect - it's only self-balancing forward/backward. It's also rather large, though diy robots can be fairly small.
Today I saw a video of 3 such systems integrated into a cube 15cm along each side - 1 system per axis. The result is a cube that can 'walk' along surfaces or as the title says, balance on a single corner - after 'standing-up' from a rest-position of sitting on one of it's faces. If a picture speaks a 1000 words, watch the video for a million of them.
