Jan. 4th, 2019 06:47 pmI went back to work today.
At about 14:00 I came to the conclusion that I really only had about 6 hours of work in me for the day.
But I did get a bunch of stuff done. I scared all my coworkers with my coughing, for one. That was nice: people didn't ask me a lot of questions and generally stayed away.
That gave me uninterrupted time that I needed to write the beginnings of a graphical analysis package for waveforms I'm acquiring off the oscilloscope. We already have similar packages, but they don't do what I need, a mixed-signal problem where I have to interpret serial digital data and use that to decide where to look at analog waveform features.
It's complicated, and probably a big chunk of why I only had six hours of work in me today. I'd already written the outline of it last night, but getting it working with actual data was tricky.
