When Your PC Asplodes
I’ve been a pretty busy person since the beginning of this year! Most noteably, I’ve got a Masters Thesis project lined up and started – which means the end is finally in sight (July or so). It’s for a company called EADS and it’s a LIDAR (they like to call it a LADAR) that identifies power lines and obstacles in real time for avoidance. Pretty cool! It’s something like what I’ve worked on before (in the general sense, since it uses a laser and the same basic method for range detection). It’ll probably be installed in the NH-90 Helicopter. Not that I’m into military aircraft, I’d much rather be working on a de-mining robot or something – but it’s not so easy to find such a project.
Anyway, this should be an interesting project. Read on for my (maybe) more interesting story about the computer explosion I just experienced.
