There is GoTo the Pub.
And GoTo bed.
But you are just stuck in GoTo Hell...

I thought they outloawed that?
I'm working today also, painting, a tad bit of carpentry and a lot of clean up. I've been putting it off but woke up this morning with the get-er-done attitude so IOIO.

Well, I'm sitting here with a big tin of mixed sweets (chocolates, toffees, lemon sherbets, and so forth) trying not to eat them all in one sitting. It is a big tin.
But...
...and it is a big but...
...you are getting paid for it.

I have only 2 Ferrero Rocher out of the box of 24 left. Saving them for tomorrow...

If it makes you feel any better, I'm at work as well.
Here tomorrow as well, home on monday though
|
|

Hope you make it home - the weather forecast for Monday is kinda nasty at the moment. (But better than Tuesday!)
|

Our Monday forecast is good, well, when I mean good, I mean flyable.
Christmas day out here is forecasted to be 79 knots and 13m seas. So I know where I would rather be.

Strangely not, I assume you are being paid, I am doing this for good will

Somes of us are having to pay for our own drinks.

This is called evolution. In Middle Ages the office was located on grassland.

Just found a Catalyst Control Center Easter EGG that just shows a Picture of the Dev team and scrolls a list of the members.

And I bet Leslie Nielsen was in it.

Nope,
If you have the notification icon enabled.
press ctl + shift + alt then left double click the icon and the form will open.

"Leslie Nielsen" is an in-joke: it means that what you posted has been seen here before and is thus a repost, not that the late Mr Nielsen has anything to do with the easter egg...

He didn't do a lot here for the first 7 years, did he?

you have a link to the original post ?

oh Ok,
I've never seen it before I just ran across how to do it in the source code using ILSpy.
I was trying to figure out where they where getting the Direct3D Version from.

So, unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past decade, you'll have heard of the Segway self-balancing scooter-thinga-mabobs. A number of you will have even had a go at making a self-balancing robot with a micro-controller and some inertia sensors any gyros. It's quite neat. Not spectacularly complicated, mathematically speaking, but still an impressive thing to witness. It is however, a 1D effect - it's only self-balancing forward/backward. It's also rather large, though diy robots can be fairly small.
Today I saw a video of 3 such systems integrated into a cube 15cm along each side - 1 system per axis. The result is a cube that can 'walk' along surfaces or as the title says, balance on a single corner - after 'standing-up' from a rest-position of sitting on one of it's faces. If a picture speaks a 1000 words, watch the video for a million of them.

I'll save you a spot in the (I suspect, very long) line.

Pretty amazing little device.

Thought you'd enjoy it Mike, I immediately thought of you when I saw it and made mention of diy self-balancing robots.
Love to know if they're high or low Kv motors, outrunner/inrunner types, Sensored/non-sensored, geared/direct-drive etc, etc, etc. Reckon there may even be under $100 of hardware in it..
Given the relative rapidity that we've seen diy quad-copters made almost a commodity item ($18 minus TX is the cheapest I've seen), and the increasing sophistication with which swarms of quads are controlled, I really can't wait to see some of these teaming-up together.
Looking forward to more of your articles on the Rover project you've got going on.
