New topic,

You know how I have just cracked the production of a 260,000Volt transformer and we are moving nicely to stable production. Well the customer postulated a need for a 1,000,000V Isolation transformer .

Not enough shocked eyes available.

Seriously, we are planning a 1 million volt transformer. There are a very small number of these in the world (fingers on one hand) and we might be putting our design into commercial production.

No really, 1 million volts

Were you shocked when the order was placed?

But only two rumbles of thunder since 04:00. I'm disappointed.

Ha ha. Just feasability studies at the moment, good fun stuff but slightly scary.

I'm enjoying listening to the rain outside. I may get fed up with it soon though.

I'm in Oxford and it's . I don't think you'd like here Potsy.

.... Are you going to the university open day today too, my friend is.... If you see two redheads say hi (that should keep you busy all day)

Weak sunshine here!

I've had to move over in bed as the sun was shining straight into my eyes.

Idiot Dog is lying on the rug next to my bed, which usually means she's trying to tell me something. Trouble is, I have no idea what.

Its very dark for five to eight, its still dry, though I suspect not for long.

Either:
1. She wants food
2. She wants to go out
3. She wants attention

Dogs are very similar to men, simple needs if you can work out what they're after.

I had no reliable/useable internet until yesterday!
I do have a Linux machine though, but it will need a lot of updates to it first - goes off to think about life - how can TV programs be timed to be downloaded between 1am and 7am? It went into the shipping container back in April and hasn't yet been turned on and tbh I don't know a lot about Ubuntu and how to use it. I can find my way around it, look up what I need to know and know the odd command or two but otherwise I'm android and windows. Been out of IT (as a job, or more accurately not worked) since we left to go off on our attempted world tour over 5 years ago now!

I know the feeling. I didn't have a directly technical job latterly but I managed to get some idea of what was going on by earwigging and asking. Been out of telecomms for 3 years now and it's changed!

Oh, and it's

Good job I got the grass cut yesterday, forecast is for a lot of rain today. Might go get my ears lowered later.

Not usually an issue for me
