A great effort by the Geodata KODA team in the last month prompts this blog post. For the previous two weekends we've had extra-curricula outings in which we've achieved some great things. Some days it's easy to overlook our achievements - not today
You know you're working in an interesting industry when the currents of the week push you to spend a couple of late night hours searching for some 'standard' dimensions for humans to try to justify the placement of a datalogger in a certain location on site.
As a repeat reader of Frank Herbert's Dune, I've found myself intrigued by a particular phrase written towards the end of the book.
I think that the phrase intrigued me because I'd never heard of it before... A rather trivial reason for liking a statement, I know, but I think there is something more to it...
Sitting here at MeatStock, doing the dawn shift, lighting the fire and tending to our 30 day dry aged briskets I'd just laid down, I started thinking about all the different ways I could apply what I do at work to cooking a great brisket. Was this madness? Or worth the musing?
A visit to Mitsui's roadheader factory in Omuta, Japan was a nice way to round out the end of the year. It was a highly successful visit in which Geodata KODA and Mitsui performed our acceptance test of the electrical, mechanical and sensors systems we've been planning for months.
I'll be the first to admit that a once a month blog post is not up to scratch. I had higher hopes; aiming to achieve 'once a week' for the first year. For a while I did pretty well, and thank you all for the support and interest.
So, does KODA have an excuse? Well, yes. Read on...
KODA has had a busy time in the last fortnight - lots of travel and lots interesting of work.
With a refurbished roadheader in front of us we required to assess the existing accuracy of the system, and then make any tweaks to the calibration if required.
Some recent work has got me thinking about how KODA goes about designing systems. More to the point: how do systems perform when things go wrong? This week's post contains a few notes on what you can do.
Last week KODA visited Franklin Barbecue. Having tried once before, but arriving way too late to be guaranteed food we opted out - determined to return another time at a more appropriate hour. This time we arrived at 07:15 with the vain hope that we would be first in the line. No chance - how about fortieth?!
KODA started thinking about how often we've been delivered "bad pizza" in our professional lives, in our careers, and on our projects...and decides to call Customer Service for some clarification.
