The way ahead....

The light at the end of the tunnel..a mere speck though it may be, gives man access to reserves of hope and optimism that he did not know he possessed.

Give a man the chance he never had, and he'll take it.

Give a man hope and he will go on.

Give a man the spark that he had lost, and watch the trail blaze.

There is no hole so deep, no problem so big, and no man so lost that he may not one day climb out, overcome, and find his way home.

.......and lo !

The conditions of conquest are always easy. We have but to toil awhile, endure awhile, believe always, and never turn back.
-Markus Annaeus Seneca

sad day.

Just a bad day.

One of those when just as you think you're getting somewhere, walking past the shadow, the past comes up, grabs you by the throat, and shows you your place.

One of those days.

well well well.....

Its almost dinner time, and I ought to have figured out the hspice netlist for the scba by now, but I've been playing around for the last couple of hours, reeling under the shock of an unexpected capacitance value. It turned out to be a typing error ( that was about 45 minutes or so ago ) and so I ought to have got on with the calculations, and finished my work well in time, done some extra, impressed my prof, extracted a good recco, gone to a good university............but now I'll prolly go and have a spot of dinner and a walk, then I have the whole night ahead of me in which (I hope) I will finish my work, do some extra, impress my prof, extract a good recco, go to a good university.......................

and so....

So I did finish (more or less) what I ought to have finished. Would have been nice if I'd run the simulation and seen what the graphs looked like, (they're expected to look really really bad...I dont expect anything to work) but the've some server maintainence to do, so thats that for the night.

Well....

as ol' Scarlett so famously said, "Tomorrow is a new day...."
