Well, I survived the big code review. A really nice, bright guy with a Ph.D. from MIT and twelve years experience in the field was there as an independent auditor as well as Ann Rogers (who I really think knows more about this sort of thing than the auditor). Both of them gave us a major thumbs up on what we are doing. It was really kind of a relief, because no one in the company really understands a lot about machine vision. The people in my group, John, Evan, and Ya, as well as my boss Prasant, probably understand the most, but we moved fast in the review because there was so much to cover in only two hours. We three vision people were pretty much talking a foreign language to most of the people there. Now maybe they know how I feel when they are talking about Raman spectroscopy. I am going to have a pretty ugly next three months because the delivery schedule is so compressed, but after that, I hope to have a little breathing room. I am really enjoying this, but when we get to the end of it, it will be nice to have a week on the beach in Mexico followed by getting serious about finding a house in the area to buy.
