I am NOT SWISS and I DON'T SOUND SWISS either!

wow! that is one great film! went to see it last night! it had me on the edge of my seat for the whole of the second half, had me chewing on my nails at one point and i chucked that bad habit years ago... it's really awful being that tense for that long ;-) if you don't mind a bit of blood and brain flying (ok, a lot..) it's a totally incredible film. i could rave on and on about it, but i'd just be repeating myself (as i refuse to say anything else about it for fear of spoiling it for anyone who happens to be bored enough to read my blog)

had a carvery at the parkway first with stuart and his friend simon. that's a lot of food for £3.99. and then at the cinema i got a medium coke cause i didn't want a big one, i was too full... the medium one's 75dl!!! but it was a great evening. wonderful film... :-)

i'm being reassigned at work. i've finished the analysis of the TLB (the translation lookaside buffer, have i mentioned it before?), and now there are these finished chips (i.e. actual silicon) that have a problem in the MMU (memory management unit...) and i'm supposed to test them and try to find out what's wrong with them. or under what conditions they go wrong, or something like that. i'm not quite sure exactly...

anyway neil says they need someone who understands how the MMU works (i.e. me, cause that's what i've been working on this last month) to test it cause the verification engineers haven't got a clue about MMUs. somehow i find that a bit hard to believe but if he says so... :-)

so i've been getting into writing assembler test programs today. i love assembler. i don't think my code is very efficient ;-) but it's fun writing it. it's so much closer to the hardware i just love it :-D

i'm babysitting and people keep phoning up. so this is me taking notes now:

- paul stewart (or some such) phoned, said it's not very important, he'll try again tomorrow night
- grandma phoned, shes going away tomorrow, would like to talk to marion before then
- paul ip phoned (was on the phone to him for half an hour, they've started calling him skippy at work :-) i'm now calling him lassie) wanted to sort out who's doing what when for the devotion christmas video (or something)

i think that's it at the moment... at least that's all i can remember
