went to balticon over the weekend. much fun was had. many poptarts were eaten. i don't know that it was $200 worth of fun, but it was fun. hanging out with eeyore and dan is always cool... i don't get to see them enough.

discussed the possibility of getting a car, and will probably be taking out a loan from my parents to buy not-matt's '94 white mazda protege. *shrug* a car is a car. ideally i'll trade it in for a nice new one in three years or so.

new job started today. spent the day going through tutorials so i could have some idea of what it is i'm documenting. it's a program for simulating low-level electronics... quite cool. i've already found two bugs. :)

joe price is moved out, and i will never have to see him again. this makes me happier than almost anything else about the weekend.

having looked a bit at pspice, i think that it does things at a much lower level than TestBencher was designed to... TB is mainly aimed at people making large-scale digital ICs, like microprocessors and such, so the descriptions are all written at a fairly high level.

I think spice can do that sort of thing, you'd just have to have all the lower componentry specs and build up..

yeah... and TestBencher's perfectly capable of doing things as low-level as MOS switches, for the masochistic. :) if either of them _couldn't_ handle the opposite extreme at all, i'd be unimpressed.
of course, a spice product is way cheaper than a verilog simulator...
