Yes, bad I know. The video looks terrible some times, this one seems to be particularly shocking, worst than most.

New cam on the way, so hopefully this will help.

Looks like there is a beating from the Flourescent lighting freq. and the shutter speed on the camera ?

Thanks for cheering me up Dave.

Indeed failed projects happened to be the most profitable one's (for me at least)

They sent you to a class for time and resource management??!!! How absurd, thats fucked up, sounds like they didn't tell their boss they gave you a billion projects, and said you were just too slow and blamed you, Well I guess thats kinda what happens in most companies, at least in mine I haven't been sent to a slap in the face training program.

This MBA things are crazy, this kind of ppl will be shoot when try even to go inside of good working company, only company which see the menagement must be a servant for technicians to realize they wishes and needs then something can suceed, I'm lucky I go at my own and my "management" ppl are only to put product on the market selling this and make a marketing but functionality is a my way and I can accept wishes or do it by my own way.

the world would be better if the engineering team could just get on with it without Management geting in the way

Usual management tricks then. While I'm still in education studding computing to eventually study computer networking at uni, I have observed management, as it (as you know) affects everything, they do not have a clue sometimes. Or how they treat staff is appalling, yet they get away with it. It surprises me that clients put millions into a development and then abandon it. I suppose I might come across the same problem in my to come carer. Electronics for me will probably always stay a hobbie.

Don't be silly... It's because Management couldn't skim money off, get backhand commissions thing you make.
