Austin, TX Rev 6 or so

Took off Monday evening for Texas to visit a customer for some development guidance and discussions. Hit work early Tuesday to bring up the latest revision of hardware. Had a couple false-issues – one with a temp sensor and another with a couple FETs on the board which I erroneously thought needed reversing. As it turns out, neither of these were an issue and there was a firmware bug which was impeding proper operation. Problem solved by Wednesday. Had a couple discussions and proceeded with some testing for the remainder of the week.

Thursday night saw some t-storms coming toward Austin. I was oblivious to this when I ventured out for some dinner at a nice Korean restaurant near the hotel. When I was partially through dinner I became aware from all the staff nervously gathered around the TV that a tornado had been spotted somewhere to the Northwest and was expected to pass between Round Rock and Austin. I’m not really familiar with tornado protocol, but I figured if the employees weren’t leaving or heading to the basement, it must be safe for me to finish my dinner.

And… now I need to shutdown and board my plane back to GR. Oh, and BTW today was my Friday off.
