Ouch!

Its Saturday and I haven't had the day off.

Yesterday I shut my finger in the door. It hurt. A lot.

David has been staying with me, and its been good fun, showing him round Lufbra and getting up to awful mischief! He got me drunk last night and I was home and in bed by 10! Disgraceful!

We've been in the Library today, managed to sort out a fair bit of the energy calculations I needed to do for the heated seat, now I need to estimate power usage over a 24 hour period, that will tell me how big the battery needs to be, and how big the turbine needs to be to re-charge the battery.

My housemate, David and I went out for a late lunch with Joe*, he graduated last year, so it was nice to see him, plus I explained what i wanted to do and he drew the circuit diagram on the back of a napkin for me! Apparently it isn't totally correct but will point me in the right direction, and I'll be able to communicate what I want to do to the technicians who'll be able to understand it and point me in the right direction.

I'm also really impressed with a company that I requested some sample off! I emailed them at 4.30pm on Friday, and bright and early this morning the samples I had requested landed on my doormat!

Talk about efficiency!

The samples I'm looking at are made by a company called Smile Plastics and they sent me some samples of their recycled coffee cup material. Its really beautiful and looks a lot like granite!

I think if I wasn't GRPing my prototype I'd use that, however it is really expensive, however is recycled and recyclable.

I'm off out with Isabelle, David and Isabelle's housemate Rob* tonight to a houseparty of one of our coursemates. Not sure we'll stay long coz I'm sure we won't know anyone, however we need to improve our image as complete geeks!
