Thoroughly enjoyed watching Star Trek: Into Darkness last night in IMAX at the Science Museum in London. Some great dad-stepdaughter time in the Museum, too, looking at the Star Trek Trail. The Trail was, I've decided, *slightly* disappointing in size and how it was spread out. Less an exhibit more extra things to find and look at while enjoying the rest of the museum. Still amazing to see the Apollo Charlie Brown spacecraft in the Space exhibit. Lovely day :-)

I took to coding when I was 9 years old because I liked the fact that the computer did _exactly_ what you asked it to (even if that turned out to be the wrong thing).

Now my professional life has turned into a negotiation with the computer, where nuance and persuasion play a huge part in getting a successful outcome.

I wish we had fixed the tooling and languages instead. #AI

Do I know anybody that has shipped their own parts to JLCPCB for use in PCBA? (https://jlcpcb.com/help/article/how-to-consign-parts-to-jlcpcb) In particular getting the paperwork right. It needs an invoice for the parts but I'm not actually selling them to JLC, they are my parts which they will be sending back when they have soldered them. It's all a bit confusing and getting parts *in* to China isn't something I've done before.

I cannot wait to sleep in my own bed tonight. I doubt I'll sleep through there either, but my hips ache from an uncomfortable "bed" in the cabin and I'm tired and ratty and I want to go home. And I've been awake since half one.

Did I mention I'm tired?

Bring on the caffeine.

Staying with the in-laws and sleeping in their craft cabin on an uncomfortable "bed" on a cold night isn't much fun. And so I was up at 3.15am again in resignation that that was all the sleep I was getting.

Ho hum. Only one more night to go, if I can hack it!
