The aftermath of Snowmageddon.

It really wasn't that bad if you stayed inside like a normal person. I suppose in the rare event you decided to stay outside in shorts and flip-flops it could have been lethal but in reality it was just a lot of work. It cancelled two classes putting our senior design group once week behind schedule in the second week. We are however diligently working and plugging ahead. I for one ordered a "PicKit 2" for programming our little microprocessor and getting the heart of the project working. The device assumes for some reason that I want to write all the code in assembler which is just not the case. Assembly language is really low level and cumbersome. it's free software for assembler compilers but I'd rather spend the cash and save the headache. I'm instead writing it in C. I am currently going through the tutorials in the users guide. although they themselves are in Assembler I am more focused on what this software can do that the actual minutia of the code. Hopefully I am full immersed in this in a week or two. I'd love to had the processor working perfectly by spring break allowing me some breathing room.

Here are the pictures I took of our place after the storm.
