Neanderpundit

I don’t know about you, but I’ma try me some.

Suddenly, not a train.

Today we managed to get everything to play nice together but two devices. We have ringers coming in on the two devices. One has no way (other than expensive hardware) to change it’s subnet mask, which is causing us some comm-type grief, and the other is a Siemens control, and as such is designed from the get-go not to function under any circumstances, so any actual operation it’s capable of will be a surprise to us all.

I’m not even ON this job and i’ve
a: Designed the part we’re making
b: done MOST of the layout drawings
c: interfaced most of the machinery
Of course, like all past tradeshows, other people will get all the glory.

But I know who made it fly. And that is enough.

We’re t-3 weeks from IMTS and most of the shit here is NOT WORKING.

I spent all day yesterday wearing a face mask so as not to infect everyone I was working with.

We have five days till move-in, and we have NO IDEA if we’ll make it.

yesterday, we managed to get NONE OF THE INTERFACES WORKING.

We still have to connect two more pieces of machinery.

We are so boned.
