Looks like this mornings soldering has paid off – I’ve now got what appears to be a functional PIC microprocessor programming board. Sure, this isn’t much of an acheivement for most people, but I haven’t soldered for ten years, I was surprised how easy it was….gotta install the software now and actually *do* some programming.
And confirmation today that after six months here I still don’t know how to use the green bin, its for ‘organic waste only’, so I’ve been especially digging out the biodegradable carrier bags (you’ll notice that not all carrier bags are these days, having made a big sales pitch about it a few years back) to bundle up the mouldy oranges and teabags, but they’re not taking those – I got a big nasty ‘contamination’ sticker. OK, well, if thats the way you want to play it everything goes in the black bin, its not like I actually produce that much in the way of organic waste anyway (three bagfuls over the last fortnight) and if you’re going to make it impossible to package then it’ll go with the rest of the landfill. I tried.
