Geovision GV-800 Video Capture Card

... somewhat interesting day at work.

I got to play with new hardware. A Geovision GV-800 digital video capture card. These things are used in digital video surveillance systems.

It's really fun, and impressive from a hardware point of view. It supports 4 cameras in 640x480 at 30fps each, and it does all kind of movement detection and item count. And it can be connected to almost any security system. And it can get data from anything with a parallel or serial port.

I don't know if it's going to sell, but it's really fun to play with.

Other than that, not much. Coding, and i'm not too far from killing the intern at work. How hard is "Do a scandisk" to understand... ... he was making the bios continually redetect the drive, and then kept running the "Disk cleanup agent" thing. And then he did a virus scan, and installed AdAware. ... after that, he told me that the defragmentation was done, and that the problem was still there.

Bleah.

Bleah...

... sometime i hate improving.

700 lines of code later, when i look at the first part of my session/login code, it seems like crap. I feel like redoing the whole thing now.

But obviously, when i'll be done rewriting that first part, the other will need to be remade too. And it's going to repeat like that..

I think that's why 48hours coding sessions work well. You do the code, it works, you don't look at it again except for some bugfixes and minor upgrades. There's not a lot of different parts made in different styles and with different levels of optimisation. It's all the same thing, made the same way.

Anyway... Time to go to bed.

Once again...

... i got sick of coding ...

At least i cleaned up what i didn't like in the login thing.

And where's everyone... Nobody seems to be online.

... iI'm bored ...

Whee... And i can stay up until 5am.

Boredom of doom... How many innocent pieces of hardware will suffer.

And work was boring an annoying as usual. Same as yesterday.
