Time flies!
Okay so it's only been what, like 2 weeks since i last posted? I thought that since Terran has updated that i should too! Oh listen to this:
I'm really getting into Crystal Castles. They're playing at Oxegen i think. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are definitely playing so i'm really tempted to go, but i've been talking to a few people about the possibility of going to rock werchter which is on in Belgium. Placebo are playing there and i would love to see them play live. Here's a video of them playing at reading festival:
I'm trying to get my CV together to send to a professor in Southampton in the hope of joining his research group on Mems and Nems (micro/nano electro-mechanical systems). I'm just getting my mother to look over it before i send it to him. It would be for an MPhil/PhD position.
The projects are beginning to pile up in college at the moment. I was just given one today for Analogue IC Design, where we have to design and simulate a 2 stage OPAMP based on a list of parameters e.g. 3mW power dissapation. We have to do this in Spice for 40% of the module and for a bonus 10% we can give him a layout in Magic. I also have to design a Galois Field Multiplier for VLSI based on a given primitive polynomial, but i have this done. Both are due for week 8.
I finished my keypad circuit this week, i just need to put it in a plastic box. Now i'm moving onto my IR door circuit. It have the transmitter circuit done, but i'm not sure how the photodiode is supposed to react when the IR beam is broken so i'll have to figure this out soon. I only have 3 weeks to complete this and still have to program the 2 micro-controllers...basically i'm screwed.
