Day 3 of Virtual Instrumentation Programming, and everybody else has caught up with me. On Monday and Tuesday I basically ignored the lectures, as they were really simple (first you move your mouse to the start button on the desktop and click it, navigate through to 'all programs' and select LabVIEW, now let's take some time to explore the start up screen, etc), and since the lecture slides can be downloaded, I zoomed through them, and completed all the problems with great ease, even though my laptop's specs are below the minimum requirement for the software.
Aaaaaaaanyway, everybody's caught up now, and although I know what I'm doing, and can solve the problems faster than anyone (including tweaking the settings to give pleasing visual effects to my programs) I spend my time twirling my thumbs while my laptop grinds away in front of me.
On the up-side, I have all sorts of games on my laptop.
On the down-side, that only makes it go even slower.
Phil moves from Scotland, to explore a hotter dryer existence in Adelaide, whilst studying Electrical Power Engineering at the University of South Australia. Lots of pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/thetopping
