Toothpaste, networking code, etc.

The effort of getting any more toothpaste out of the tube that I'd been using since September finally outweighed the effort involved in going to get a new one this morning. I didn't know that Colgate was so expensive compared to everything else, but having never actually bought toothpaste before, it was the only one I felt I could trust. It's not as if it's American toothpaste - that stuff really is nasty, with some sort of gritty additive that turns your saliva a dark shade of grey.

Now, on to what I should want to avoid mentioning. The project integration test was an abject failure - and that's looking on the bright side. When it started we couldn't agree on where to demonstrate, as there wasn't anywhere with both enough room and network access, and when we eventually all went back up to the JH lab to try there, nothing worked at all. Our team was one of the three that had robots that moved at all, but none of the networking worked. Kirby just sort of laughed at us and left. This now means that we have one week before the final demonstration, and nothing is yet in a demonstratable state.

On the bright side, we do have quite a nice dance writer. By me.

I went in to the town and bought myself a Tesco sandwich to make up for my imminent complete failure at the course. Nothing seems quite so bad after a Tesco sandwich.
