In the course of my highly productive day, I have calculated that the viewscreen on the original Enterprise is an 84" diagonal display. Some other site calculated it at 136". Pffffft. I'll trust my calculations over theirs, since I built the entire set to get to that figure. :blob:

Thanks Spock.  I am dealing with the irrational today going to my friend's daughters 16th birthday.   I know Blob, but I held her in my hands in the hospital.   Now she wants the world. Crazy..

What up Gang !

My new rota starts tomorrow !

I'm in from 2pm - 3:30pm to clean the kitchen on Mondays and Thursdays..

I'm off Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Friday Saturday and Sunday are normal 4 - 6 hour days. :)

Should be doing about 18 hours a week but it'll be nice to have two days off back-to-back as I've only had Tuesday off since the summer began !!

Mind you I have saved up a lot of money from all the extra hours so paying rent shouldn't be a problem for a while !!

Cleaning from 2pm - 3:30pm tomorrow then two days off then back in for 90 minutes on Thursday = can not wait :coolio

If I was given the option of getting no vacation time in exchange for getting 26 Mondays off per year, I think I would do it.

That sucks :( My battery can barely hold a charge but that's because I've waited so long between rides.

Listening to some Robert Plant, 'Silver Rider' is one hell of a song.,

Was perfect weather too. Och well. If it's the same tomorrow i'll try again.

Any particular area you're looking into?


I'm currently building the bridge of the original Enterprise.

ReaperKK

Not really, I'm just looking at some classes to help with my coding.

That sounds sweet! When do we get to see it blob?

What kind of coding? Internet type stuff, or making programs?


Here's my progress so far on the bridge. It's going to be made into a video, but I don't know how long that will take. I'm lazy, so possibly never.

I'm also building the corridors of the D (for an unrelated project), which is a much nicer ship.

Making programs, C# type stuff, I have a textbook I downloaded that I've been reading that is a pretty good learning tool.

The bridge looks great!! How far are you going to go in this recreation?

Cool. I'm sorta starting to migrate my code over to C#. It's not too different to what I'm used to.

I'm just building the bridge for this one. It's a pretty straightfoward video, but I'm a perfectionist, so I want the bridge to look accurate.
