As usual, this week's live online chat -- which will be held on Thursday, July 26 -- promises to be a rip-roaring, fun-filled, roller-coaster thrill ride of thrust-and-parry ideas. Last week we had a really good time discussing our mega-cool Wall of Light project. Don’t worry if you missed that chat, because you can see the archived discussions by clicking here.
As for this week's chat, who knows what we will be talking about? The great thing is that everyone has so much input and such interesting ideas, that someone will set a conversational ball rolling and everyone else will race around adding different thoughts and perspectives.
The "chat" -- which is similar to using an IM (instant messaging) system, but which actually employs your Web browser -- will commence at 12:00 p.m. my time (Central Time), which is 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and 6:00 p.m. UTC/GMT in Sheffield, England, where my dear old mom hangs her hat.
So, assuming you are already a member of All Programmable Planet, all you have to do is to click here at the appropriate time to join the fun and make your opinions known. (If you aren’t already a member of All Programmable Planet, now would be a perfect time to register.)
The only problem with the sports field at the back of our office is its full of rabbit holes, so you risc falling down one and never being seen again. so we play football on Wednesday lunchtimes, we have circuit training on Thursdays, and on Tuesday night I take a few people out for a traing ride on bikes round a pretty hard 25 mile loop.We are all pretty fit at SSL :-)

Re: Cutting it close
@JezmoSSL: This one had me confused for a while. When you saud "we have circuit training at work" my knee-jerk reaction was that you were training folks about simple electronic circuits... seriously ... so the bit about ruunning around a football field left me totally confused ... and then I realized that by "circuit training" you meant "athletic circuit training"
Am I the only stupid one, or did anyone else make this mistake also?

Re: Cutting it close
@Bill: Hi Bill -- tell me about it -- as I wrote yesterday in my editor's note for the EE Times Microcontroller Designline Newsletter (yes, I'm the editor over there also) -- I feel like one of those guys in a circus (no, not a clown, thank you very much) -- one of the guys who balances a spinning plates on the top of a lot of very thin poles (grin).
In the case of thsi week's live chat -- it starts at Noon my time -- the training course starts an hour later at 1:00pm ... so, just a regular Thursday, really :-)
