So last week sucked. Last minute rushes to get stuff done, poorly written lines of code that failed at the last second. Again had our team been perhaps firing on all cylinders  back in January our project might have been a bit better. This week is sucking even more.Doc writing is probably the least fun  activity a programmer can sit down and do. *Sigh* also I’ve got this crazy Philosophy essay that I put off all term, sorta my own fault, I am hoping for an extension there but who knows. I am off, time to write an exam, at least that will be one class down and dealt with. .joe 

At present very few things are working…I’ve learned one of the cardinal problems in managing other people, and that is: if you have no way to motivate people, they won’t due work. The long and short is, our project is due in two days and we are only now doing integration testing… surprise surprise things aren’t working. It’s a wonder people make it all the way to 4th year engineering and still leave everything to the last second. In any case, I see my self not sleeping much in the next few days. The current issue is getting RS-232 communication functioning in a reliable way…I’ll let you know.  .joe
