Alright, let's stay positive then!
Hello threkk,
you may vent any time, I won't troll you for that. I just think we forget the little nice things all too often. Me included. :)
So, good thing for me: I received new glasses about 3 weeks ago, and they enable me reading printed text again, reading on the screen again with normal distance and font size, and even driving again. Those things had been reduced a lot in the recent past. I did suffer from ablatio retinae several times in the last half year, no fun. However, I shall go back to work next week.
~bartender? Just coffee with cream and sugar, please. Thanks!
And another good thing: I am dabbling with microcontrollers, little electronics stuff, and even small printed circuit boards, which I designed myself. About 5 years ago I started a new generation of software/hardware for my data acquisition stuff. I failed miserably. I could not get things to become stable at all. A sensor and a receiver would happily work for some amount of time, even two weeks maybe, and then stall for some completely obscure reason. I never found out, why. I dismissed the whole idea. I made a new start last summer, and with interruptions worked on it again, going back to an earlier version of the underlying software and better hardware. These days I succeeded several times in programming a controller over a (still short) rs485 cable connection --- a thing that would just not work out ever before. :)
Ok, this is highly technical "good news", however, this is what I do in my spare time.
So, I kindly suggest to anyone, who cares to read, to be prepared to recognize something nice any time. And smile!
Cheers!
