Weekend
Back from another action-packed weekend. Well, not exactly action-packed. Liz was rather ill so we spent most of our time watching videos. Not that I'm complaining, I like just curling up in front of a good video. My only worry is that I might have caught the lurgy too, but we shall have to see. I had a bit of a sore throat earlier, but that may have just been psychosomatic/sympathy pain.
We were discussing the idea, once again, of a "search facility for life". A little search box that you can type into to find out where misplaced items are. We've discussed this a lot but I think it's do-able. Simply tag everything that's of importance with an RFID chip and then set up some device that can triangulate on all the items in a room. Making a search facility shouldn't be too much trouble. Then one would be able to do this:
RFID Search v1.0.1
Ready
> keys
Keys are by the bed
Then you could glance round the room and type
> bed
I think it's got marketing potential.
Not heard from the guy who wants the website. Shame. He might email tomorrow, he did say he was going to be out of the office until Monday.
Now I'm going to go and get another drink and then do some more work on my major project. The project is progressing nicely but I need to make sure I don't become complacent.
