No, I'm not running for office or any such... Zhiyi asked me to complete a project left-over by a student that was supposed to be done for the Dunedin Harriers club. The project is basically using RFID to record finish times for a marathon. An interesting project. The feasibility has already be shown I think, so its going to be generating a working prototype. I'll be able to put my embedded skiils to the test... perhaps I'll even to able to create a production-grade system for them, who knows.
This does change my plans for 2008 though, what with a major work project due in April, my teaching load, helping to organise PDCAT'08, and my planned study of a rather interesting 400-level paper with a large degree of concurrency about it, it seems I shall have to abandon the paper, and instead do by 400-level project next year instead... The good news is that I may be able to get a scholarship... the extra money would be useful.
