This morning I am getting a crash course in capacitor bank controls. As
I have been here, I pick up more and more, and I have been here six
years now, but I'm getting the in-depth lessons because I am moving into
working on the code for these critters. Previously, I had been writing
code for test equipment and switch controls. I'm kind of acquiring a
power engineer's knowledge by osmosis on a very drawn out schedule of
courses. My brain is full this morning. I owe 
ingenuemuse
an apology: in limited areas, it is possible to think "too
much."
Last night I strained my brain cranking out a proposal letter for a
patent attorney. Robert has had the idea for bringing in a patent law
firm to help us with McGuffin and we're trying to see if they will trade
some time on the delivery of their fees for equity in the company. If
this plan goes, investors seeing that we have our intellectual property
ducks in line may be more eager to get involved. Robert, Don, Tom, and
I are meeting today with a lawyer to discuss the letter and the process
of bringing the patent lawyers in. Ha! It's funny. We need a lawyer
to deal with our lawyers. A word to soccer_mom56 and fearsclave: you guys must make out like bandits! I knew I went
into the wrong field. Heh heh.
