After I thought it was all over…

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

I seriously thought that it would have been an impossible task, but I think that I have found it! The circuit diagram that will save our (and more specifically MY) skin! *insert a very relieved sigh*

Since it is bank holiday today, I can’t share the info I have found with my colleagues but I thought I would share it with you, well some of it!

Here is a sneaky preview of what we are going to be making, can you figure it out?

Project Ultimate is BACK ON! 8D

And so the camera arrives!

Hello to anyone that is reading this, let me introduce myself, I am the one they call the “J-Man”.

Welcome to my first post, I am just a engineer that has been roped into this mysterious thing that is “Project Ultimate”.

I am not going to lie, I am very doubtful that we are going to be able to complete this project in the time needed, but I am going to try my hardest to make everything ready by 24th May 2010!

Well that is enough about me, well we were able to look at all the bits and pieces that we had acquired so far and oh my god I have never seen so many little bits and pieces of STUFF! I am really worried how we are going to be able to put them all together as none of us have any experience! We have never done anything like this before so it is going to be a huge learning  experience for us all!

We got the camera and it is much smaller than I thought it would be, but it is so flexible we will definitely be able to use it for what we have in mind!

That is all from me for now! I need to log my time! T_T

Stuff arrived!

1n4004 diode

And a bunch of other electronic supplies!  Excitement!

Project Ultimate has started!

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Four shady (not really) Lucidica engineers sat on the second floor balcony of their office building, hunched over a table, pen and paper in hands, scribbling details of their forthcoming project.  Ideas were quietly whispered over an air of excitement (and slight intimidation at the task in hand) to ensure the top secret Project Ultimate remained top secret; the building visitors in the reception overlooked by the balcony unaware of the scheming going on above.  In just 7 and a half weeks Project Ultimate was due to be released, and there was much to be done before then!
