Now is one month since I use Dropbox. It is online storage system, where my datas are synchronised. Service is creating a folder “Dropbox” on your harddrive and all files stored in this folder are automatic copied onto your personal, secured webspace. If you have installed Dropbox software on other computers, in my case I have it on my laptop (linux Ubuntu), home pc (Windows XP) and works PC (Windows XP), all “Dropbox” folder are indentical – files are copied up to net and from there down to all other computers. Its simple, easy and quick way to have your data everywhere with you. I can now forget abut my memorystick. I you still want to use memorystick you can always use portable version which will synchronize folder from your pendrive. First 2GB is free and if you use my link: https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTEyNjkzODU5 you (and I) will gain another 250MB. I strongly recomend this service/software.

Trentham Estate @ flickr.com

Now here are some photos from our trip to Trentham Estate. Very beautiful and relaxing place. Big lake surrounded by amazing garden and children playground. Everyone will find something, place for picnic, before entrance – shops, pubs and restaurants. Inside a lots of space for kids to play. You can go on a boat and have a look at grounds from lake or if you prefer hire your own a rowing boat. If you like gardening you can take some of your flowers and swap them with something new or just buy one. And everything just few minutes of M6 J15.

Don’t praise the day before the sunset…

in a quarter may start raining.

Today just photo. The London Eye in night. Really worth to go visit it overnight, brilliant view from there.

Workbench

Today I blow up some relays, shame and very bad luck. Programmers should not do any hardware jobs

You can see there RedLion G308 HMI, RedLion Modular Controler, Horner SmartMod and printer. All connected together using RS485 2-wire Modbus protocol. There is Horner XLt with GSM modem – I’m working now on online diagnostics and SMS commands/reports.

I’ve read today in Telegraph the speed camera on A316 has taken picture of more than 16 thousand  drivers, they ended with almost 50,000 penalty points (£60 + 3p each driver). The speed camera has been placed along roadworks with temporary speed limit of 30mph instead of 50mph.
