The Evione BLOG will be moving to www.evione.co.za

Hey everyone

After many great months of sharing my electronics experiences and projects with the world on this blog we are officially moving to our new home on the internet. http://www.evione.co.za

I will be making regular video tutorials teaching from the basics of electronics and power supplies right through to interfacing ARM based processors with your electronics projects.

I will also be doing many video blogs explaining and showing exactly how to do many different things.

So lets take this to the next level. I hope you will continue to follow me as I take you to new heights in your electronics.

See you soon over at www.evione.co.za

First Truly Winters Day in Durban

Wow.

After several hot, sticky and sweaty months in Durban I think the cold weather is finally getting here. Not that it really gets cold in Durban but hey cold is better than hot therefore cooler weather is great.

Well despite spending most of my day editing wedding images and the like I still managed to get some time in on my development and have managed to throw together a few android apps to control various aspects of my house and entertainment system using my phone the HTC One which happens to have a built in IR transceiver. ;-)

I will be starting development on my home control system soon and am still in two minds whether I want to go Android or Linux. Its a tricky choice to make as both have their pluses and minuses.

I would be glad to hear from anyone who is doing something similar.

Cheers for now

One of the scariest weeks of my life.

Well. What can I say. this past week has put me through every emotion known to man. I would hate to know how the love of my life Liz feels. It started with her being mistreated by some doctors who really need to learn something about treatment instead of standing around waiting for home time.

Thereafter we have been all over to see doctors, specialist etc only to discover that my angel needs major surgery. :-( I can deal with that. After all Liz would be feeling much better after that.

Then the crap started. Medical aid gave us a run around for almost the entire week. As of now, although we have been told that all is in order I am still doubtful and worry that we arrive at hospital tomorrow morning and something else will go wrong due to this medical aid. I will blog about the entire experience and inform everyone of this medical aid as they really should not be allowed to put people through these things.

I will also be sending all correspondence and information to consumer watch and every other organization that deals with these things as I would hate for someone else to have to go through these emotions and problems.

My only worry now is that my angel gets her needed surgery and comes home. She means everything to me and seeing her suffer for nearly 2 weeks in pain is almost un-bearable to me. I would do anything to take her pain, even take it on myself.

I love you Liz and if you ever decided to read my personal blog you will find these notes. Its the only place I can vent.

I will never take you for granted. I LOVE YOU.
