Here we go again.
Well I have taken a phenominal time to post. As you can tell from the date of my last one, November 2005!!! Oh dear.
So let me tell you what is going on. I have just finished Doctor Who 2. Don't miss it next week - April 15th is the first episode. I have been told it is very good. And episode 2 is apparently amazing. I was too tired to go to the screening, I think alot of people were. But for those crew who did go, they said it was well worth it! Hopefully I will have a credit this time round! Catch I have been barking on about this for a while...as alot of my family, friends and poor girlfriend know all too well...I've decided to leave the film industry behind me. No doubt the beeb will ask me to do series 3 (no reason for them not too) but I have made the decision this time round to concentrate all my efforts on doing what I enjoy the most and search for a job in the I.T industry. I feel kind of excited but also a little worried. Who wouldn't feel worried about changing careers and because i'm freelance, i'm currently unemployed as well. No job = no money, so its kind of a race now to get a job before i run out of funds!!! I have a few leads for work experience and I'm hard at work on my Microsoft Certifiication, so hopefully things will start to look up.
Right then...about my project. It really hasn't gone anywhere in the last few months, and probably won't go very far at the moment giving my lack of funds. But I am changing my approach on it. The project is going to split. I am going to use the primary 6 instruments as a complete simulator. I have ploughed in a good amount of money into my project, and i can't even use it!!! So, the idea is to buy the CCU2 board and do some testing with the instruments that I already have. I will develop the full scale simulator along side. This means developing some kind of case for the primary 6 panel to fit into. Possibly out of MDF? A pelican case maybe? It would be nice for it to be mobile. I need to fit in a power supply and the circuit board and hey presto, something i can finally use. I have seen these micro ATX PSU's and they may be powerful and small enough to fit into a custom built case. Hopefully, before FSX is released, I will get this finished. That is a good few months away, so I have plenty of time.
