More computer support

Late Monday morning I had a call from Lamorna, whose friend had a computer problem. I had fixed said friend's internet connection some time back, just after her husband, who did the tech stuff, had died of a hospital infection a long time after going in for something relatively routine.

This time I managed to find out that the virus report from the scanner was a false positive, and replace the antivirus program with one I trust more, and which incidentally doesn't slow the computer down so much.

Now I have partly caught up with my work, and just emailed to my customer the printed circuit layout for an 868MHz wireless transceiver for remote control. Now I have to return to the question of the transformers which get hot, for the same customer. Rats, I also have a web page to design for another customer and some work on a high voltage circuit for a third. If nothing takes longer than it should, I ought to be almost up to schedule, even with the stuff I got behind on last week, by Wednesday mid afternoon, in time for some as yet unscheduled product evaluation work for yet another client that has an office in Milton Keynes.

Being a freelance, there is too much to do or too little. Well, I've got to pay for the holiday in Japan, so right now too much is better...
