Withdrawal Sympthoms
After spending the last few days almost exclusively in LG35, a CS lab without net access, I’ve tested the limits of my sanity. The reason I was in such a lab? To work on my Mircoprocessor Project.
After 3 days of tracing wires, reviewing the theory and replacing 4 integrated circuits (including two core components, the CPU and the EEPROM, it still wasn’t working. One of the major signals (DTACK), which basically means reading or writing has been completed, refused to work. Oh well, I was getting more help from Vivian, Michael and Brian in particular more than the other members actually in my group…
I ended up calling it a day and dragging another overworked soul out for a well earned drink, before a very productive booze run to Oddbins on the way home…
I’m going to enjoy this weekend, because I finally have the time to crash for a few days and admin that I’m sick, and have been since December… :-/
